It's a discussion that started more than a decade ago, when District voters were allowed to vote (but not count the results) of a referendum on medical cannabis.

We explore the legal and legislative landscape with a man involved with the early medical cannabis movement in D.C., who is also involved with a dispensary in California.

There are so many aspects and considerations to this debate. I hope Steve DeAngelo is really not the only expert you have. I also hope this isn't a subject treated with snickers and jibes. Do your homework people.
