About the Program
If Californians vote to legalize recreational marijuana in November, what kind of regulatory framework would best accommodate the state’s differing policy goals? And what can we learn from the experiences of Colorado and Washington, the first two states to legalize recreational marijuana? PPIC research director Patrick Murphy will provide an overview of a new report that addresses these questions, and a panel of experts will discuss the challenges of marijuana legalization.
