In this episode of The Cole Memo, Cole breaks down Senate Bill 42, which could end Illinois’ requirement for odor-proof cannabis containers and stop police from searching cars based solely on the smell of weed. Joined by Phil, they discuss Cole’s testimony at the state Senate hearing, law enforcement pushback, and the broader implications for personal freedom and Fourth Amendment rights. Expect exclusive insights, legal twists, and a closer look at how Illinois’ cannabis laws could finally catch up with common sense.
