How to Do the Pot

213. The Dark Side of Cannabis Legalization with Tahira Rehmatullah & Akwasi Owusu-Bempah


Listen Later

We tackle the hard history of cannabis legalization with the authors of Waiting to Inhale: Cannabis Legalization and the Fight for Racial Justice. University of Toronto Professor Akwasi Owusu-Bempah and entrepreneur and investor Tahira Rehmatullah, often called one of the most powerful women in weed, explain why the War on Drugs is now considered a failed policy, what ten years of legal cannabis have taught us about social equity, and how you can advocate for a better future for the cannabis industry.
