Before his constituents vote on a measure legalizing the use of medical marijuana, Utah state Sen. Jim Dabakis wanted to find out what all the fuss was about -- so he drove to neighboring Nevada to try cannabis out for himself.

Dabakis, a Democrat who represents the state's second district, posited that nobody else in the state's legislative body had ever used marijuana, so he "decided to come to Las Vegas and see what the whole folderol is about."

"I wanted to have at least one Utah state senator that actually has tried cannabis before we had this big debate," Dabakis said. https://abc7.la/2O35l6T
