About this episode

The cannabis industry brings in billions of dollars in legal revenue, with Big Cannabis companies leading the charge.

BOWL PAC founder, Justin Strekal, and author of Bending the Arc: My Journey From Prison to Politics, Keeda J. Haynes, join host Roy Wood Jr. to discuss the complicated road to federal cannabis legalization.
