Update: Video feeds appear to not be working. Prepared testimony is available here (click on the witness’ name to read their testimony). I’ve glanced at Rannazzisi’s and Murray’s so far and they’re pretty horrible. Murray just talks about medical marijuana (smoked). I’ll be taking a closer look at his nonsense for you a little later.
