Show Notes

Students, athletes, and medical professionals gave their testimonies before the state House Education Committee this week with regards to a bill that would ban transgender athletes from girls’ and women’s school sports. Although praised by patients, doctors are warning against using cannabis as a means to combat opioid addiction due to the lack of research backing its efficacy. Not one, but two former Penn State athletes brought home medals during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. And a man robbed a credit union using a glue gun, then proceeded to get his car stuck while on the run from the cops.
