In this excerpt from "Cannabusiness," a University of Montana student documentary film, focusing on the personal and professional issues surrounding medical marijuana in the Big Sky State, Speedy tells us about his life as a patient. He explains the background of the Native American view and how he leads a normal life with the drug.

Willi Brooks served as the producer, interviewing Speedy and writing this segment. Photography and editing was done by myself.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff

Alumni and friends flooded back to campus for Homecoming. One UM graduate came all the way from the White House. UM News reporter Katrina Heser and I met up with President Obama's Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina and talked about issues facing college students. Messina graduated from the University of Montana in 1993 and says he hopes to return to Treasure State when his time at the White House is done.
