Travel guru Rick Steves is widely known for his guidebooks and programs on public radio and TV.
In recent years he’s also taken a high-profile stance against marijuana prohibition.
Steves was in Ashland late last week in support of Oregon’s Measure 91, which would legalize, tax and regulate marijuana, much as Colorado and Steves’ home state of Washington have.
Steves told JPR’s Liam Moriarty his extensive travels in Europe have shown him a smarter way of dealing with cannabis than the punitive American War on Drugs.
