Today on the program we are going to discuss common questions and misconceptions about marijuana. WAMC's Ray Graf hosts. 

16 states, including Massachusetts, Vermont, and New York, have legalized recreational use of cannabis. The legal marijuana industry in the U.S. generated over $13 billion dollars and growing fast. To help us better understand this industry, we have two guests today.

Marc has worked with IBM, Pfizer, and AT&T. Marc is also the author of “The Cannabis Craze: A Practical Guide for Parents and Teens” which takes a look at the psychology behind adolescent use of marijuana. Marc focuses on the effects of marijuana on quality of life.
