Reefer, Managed: Cannabis as a Social Justice Issue

Cannabis products are displayed at the Cultivate dispensary on the first day of legal recreational marijuana sales, Tuesday, Nov. 20, 2018, in Leicester, Mass.

Massachusetts voters elected to legalize cannabis in 2016. Shaleen Title, commissioner of the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission, discusses how the state is working to ensure business opportunities to communities that have been disproportionately impacted by cannabis prohibition.

And Crystal Peoples-Stokes, Democratic Majority Leader of the New York State Assembly representing Erie County's District 141 (Buffalo), joins to talk about how her legalization proposal would further social justice aims.
