Mason Tvert is the spokesman for Colorado Leads and a long-time pro-marijuana activist. He joins us to talk about President Trump's signing an executive order yesterday that orders the government to move expeditiously to reschedule marijuana from the DEA's Schedule I (high possibility of abuse, no medical use) to Schedule III (low/moderate risk of abuse; potential medical use).
