“When you go from a product that has been illegal for
generations and you legalize it—in this case, under the medical
marijuana laws—you need rules and a framework…and California
never had that. And it left not only the state vulnerable, but
these individual businesses vulnerable to prosecution,” says Peter
Hecht, journalist and author of the book
Weed Land: Inside America’s Marijuana Epicenter and How Pot
Went Legit.
Reason TV’s Zach Weissmueller interviews Hecht at our Los Angeles studio
for an internet livestream on Reason TV’s YouTube
Channel on Wednesday, June 11 at 7pm. Hecht discusses the
economic, political, and social journey California has taken in the
legalization of medical marijuana and compares its relatively
unregulated and sometimes chaotic medical marijuana market to
markets in other states, such as Washington and Colorado.
