Judge Doug Bench put more than 300 people in jail for minor marijuana offenses during his tenure. In retirement, his prohibitionist stance on cannabis took a sharp turn after being diagnosed with terminal COPD. His wife Jan convinced him to try cannabis-based on her own research, and after much hesitation, he finally tried cannabis and is now declared symptom free by his doctor. Judge Bench and his wife Jan are the founders of Rethink Green, cannabis advocacy and CBD product company.
