This hour, Governor Ned Lamont has signed a bill allowing recreational use of cannabis.

We speak with Connecticut State Representative Robyn Porter about her role in the debate over the pot bill.

She pushed the Lamont administration to accept more provisions she said would help communities harmed by the war on drugs, but some of her efforts resulted in special session drama during the vote on the proposal.

Guests:

• Connnecticut State Representative Robyn Porter -- Co-chair of the General Assembly Labor Committee
• Kevin Rennie -- Hartford Courant columnis, and blogger at dailyructions.com

We want to hear from you.
