Liner notes

Adam & Mitch speak with pro-Cannabis Colorado gubernatorial candidate Mike Dunafon (http://dunafonforgovernor.com) and Alfi Barone and Senator Terrence "Positive" Nelson (http://positiveishowilive.com) about their successful campaign to decriminalize ganja possession in the US Virgin Islands and their continued efforts for progressive cannabis legislation. Broadcast in October 2014, this episode investigates the 'Political Signal' of the cannabis movement. Adam Dunn and Mitch Shenassa are joined by gubernatorial candidate Mike Dunafon and USVI Senator Terrence 'Positive' Nelson to discuss the legislative blueprints for ending prohibition. In this strategic archive: The USVI Victory: Senator Nelson and Alfi Barone break down the successful campaign to decriminalize possession in the US Virgin Islands-a primary case study in grassroots lobbying. The Glendale Model: Mayor Mike Dunafon discusses why Glendale became a sanctuary for 'common sense' rules, contrasting it with the over-regulation in Denver and Boulder. Global Eyes on Colorado: Adam and the panel discuss how the world is watching Colorado’s 'Social Software' to see if legalization can scale without collapsing. Political Hypocrisy: A critical look at the shifting stances of mainstream politicians as the 'Green Wave' became a voting powerhouse. This session serves as the definitive record of the industry's move into High-Level Governance. #DunnDeal #CannabisPolitics #USVI #MikeDunafon #PositiveNelson #Legislation #AdamDunnShow
