Episode 11: The State Of Marijuana Reform In The Sessions Justice Department Era

Drugs and Stuff: A Podcast from the Drug Policy Alliance

In early January, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions (Mr. “good people don’t smoke marijuana”) began the year by firing a shot across the bow to states that have legalized marijuana. Will it have a chilling effect? Is it even warranted? In this episode, we sat down with our in-house marijuana law reform experts, Tamar Todd and Jolene Forman, to talk about Sessions’ threats and we dig into a report that examines the progress of reform in states that have legalized marijuana. Spoiler alert: the sky hasn’t fallen - it’s actually going very well.
