One of my favorite alternative media sites on the web is BenSwann.com. Earlier this year, I had the chance to interview him on "The Big Show" regarding his "Truth In Media" project, which tries to present stories the mainstream media outlets won't touch or will not devote the requisite amount of time to in order to fact check, research etc.

Earlier today, he published a story about a group in Colorado that is giving away free cannabis products to veterans.

The nonprofit group Grow4Vets.org recently held two events in Colorado, where, like Washington state, medicinal marijuana is legal, to distribute free supplies to help military veterans combat medical and mental issues suffered from serving -- primarily PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder).

I was encouraged to see a local Denver TV news station cover it as well (see video below)

Should Washington do this as well?  Answer or comment below.
