As more states legalize cannabis, including New York and New Jersey, Pennsylvania is at risk of being left behind, continuing to enforce an outdated, archaic prohibition regime that mixes up more than 20,000 people in the criminal legal system every year. In this episode, Yoko Miyashita explains the economic implications of legalization, including the need for greater racial equity in the industry, and why she traveled all the way from Seattle to be in Harrisburg on 4/20.

Plus, hear from ACLU-PA's Alex Domingos and state Representative Brian Sims.
