Your Call: Life after marijuana legalization

 

On the October 18th edition of Your Call, we'll have a conversation about the impacts of marijuana legalization.

Medical marijuana has been legal in California for 20 years, but on Nov 8th, California and four other states will decide on legalizing the recreational use of marijuana. Here in California, Prop 64 has the support of tech moguls and politicians. What can we learn from other states that have legalized recreational marijuana? Email your questions and comments to @yourcallradio and join us live at 10am on Your Call, with Rose Aguilar, and you.

Guests:

Alicia Wallace, national marijuana policy and business reporter for the Cannabist, a product of The Denver Post

John Hudak, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, and author of Marijuana: A Short History
