The Academy Award-winning actor, who has appeared in films like The Dark Knight, The Shawshank Redemption, and Bruce Almighty (where he played God), recently told The Daily Beast that marijuana should be “legalized across the board.” We reported that here at CBE, and Freeman’s statements got a lot of attention because, […]
Marijuana in Wonderland: Making Sense of a Judge’s Anti-Cannabis Ruling

Does it matter that the frontrunner to replace Barbara Boxer as the next U.S. Senator from California says she has “no moral objection” to legalizing the recreational use of marijuana?
