TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Supporters of a broad bill that would ease marijuana laws wending its way through the Kansas Legislature claim it’s a narrow enough set of reforms that conservative Republicans can vote for it.

The bill would decrease penalties for marijuana possession, launch a study of industrial hemp and legalize the limited production and sale of hemp oil for seizure treatments. Democratic Rep.…

I think the signal went out — or she hung up on me.” There’s a good chance Chandra will forgive him. Most of the leaders had been conserving fuel after pitting…
By Chris Kutz, K-State Athletics Communications Despite being outhit, 16-5, K-State managed to put the game-tying run in scoring position in the ninth inning of Saturday’s contest against Oklahoma, but four runs in the first four innings proved too much in a 5-3 loss at Tointon Family Stadium that evened the three-game series. In a game that featured a 108-minute weather delay in the middle of the seventh inning, K-State (24-26, 8-12 Big 12) surrendered 16 hits to tie its season-high allowed in a game, but the Wildcat pitching staff forced the Sooners (31-22, 12-8 Big 12) to go 2-for-9…
