Owner of Cajun Cannabis, Travis Deyoung, speaks out after his release from jail.

In the press conference, Deyoung says he was aware of the risks of opening his business and takes full responsibility for his actions.

He claims that despite other reports, no illegal drugs were sold in his establishment.

He says that he hopes lawmakers will look favorably on CBD oils in the future and will remain an advocate for its health benefits.
