Peter Hecht, Author, Weed Land; Senior Writer, The Sacramento Bee

Two decades after Prop 215, the state legislature remains unable to regulatemedical marijuana despite recent law enforcement support. Join Backes and Hecht as they dissect California’s attempts to regulate, suppress and understand medical marijuana. They say that nearly everything Californians believe about marijuana is wrong, skewed by a century of bad policy and worse science. So why do they believe the future of California cannabis looks so very bright?
