(KUTV) — A Utah Senator said legislators should at least try marijuana before it's up for vote and debate in Utah in just a few weeks. So, he went to Nevada, where the drug is legal, to give it a shot for the first time.

Senator Jim Dabakis (D-Salt Lake), who's known for his public political stunts, drove to Las Vegas and tried cannabis. He now wants Utahns and fellow legislators to know it's “not a big deal.”

“Here it goes, I am going to try it,” Dabakis said in a Facebook live video in front of a dispensary. Dabakis said it was his first time trying marijuana. He selected an edible gummy bear for the test.


“I wouldn’t recommend it as sheer candy; it’s kind of bitter,” he said in the video.

3. lol. And it takes a while to kick in. It would have been better since he was video'ing to smoke it

Get the instant reaction. I didn't watch the video. I have seen a video of old people smoking for the first time. It was really funny.
