Legislative Insights with Sarah Clement

Esplicito

In this episode of Legislation Insights, host Sarah Clement interviews David Liddle, a 23-year military veteran and advocate for veterans’ health. The discussion centers on Liddle’s proposed Arizona Medical Cannabis Lounge Act, which aims to create private, non-commercial cannabis lounges for disabled veterans who use medical cannabis therapeutically.

Key highlights include:

• The urgent need for safe, legal spaces for veterans to consume cannabis—especially those in housing where smoking is prohibited.
• Lounges would operate as membership-based private clubs, complying with zoning and public health laws while fostering peer support and community.
• The proposal emphasizes responsible use education
