Advocates pushing to legalize medical marijuana in Kentucky finally saw a victory in the House earlier this year with a 65-30 vote. However, across the Capitol in the Senate, there was complete silence.

The response was not surprising to Dan Seum, Jr who is a marijuana advocate with ‘My Right to Decide, and son of former state Senator Dan Seum Sr.
