Join Reason for a 4/20 Livestream on Marijuana Policy in the Trump Era
Live at 7:20 p.m. ET/4:20 p.m. PT.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has called marijuana "only slightly less awful" than heroin. But with cannabis legal in 28 states and Washington, D.C., it's clear that federal and state drug policy is at odds. Can the Trump administration really stop marijuana legalization? How is California dealing with the uncertainty that surrounds this legal industry? What can we expect in the next four years and beyond?
Reason will livestream a discussion of present and future drug policy with four experts in the field:
- Diane Goldstein, Law Enforcement Action Partnership
- Lynne Lyman, California State Director, Drug Policy Alliance
- Kenny Morrison, President, California Cannabis Manufacturers Association
- Jeffrey Chen, Medical Cannabis Researcher, UCLA
Reason TV's Zach Weissmueller, who recently interviewed cannabis entrepreneurs about the future of drug policy under President Trump, will moderate the discussion.
The stream will be available on Reason's Facebook page, and we'll be taking questions from the online audience.

Q for Diane Goldstein, Why does god allow suffering?
Q for all, why must people be saved from themselves by means of harm?
Q for the law dicks, what is the best part of the drug war with regards to your institution?
Q why do black guys smoke blunts and white guys smoke joints?
Why do white girls seem pretty funny, though sometimes they drive me mad, and black girls just wanna get fucked all night?
Some libertarian moment. Not one panelist is smoking weed.

Perhaps their stash was all stolen by the server squirrels.
I have no beef with pot legalization.
...but pot heads are the most irritating people on the planet. I almost want them to ramp up enforcement JUST to piss them off.
Pot heads --- STOP BEING SUCH IRRITATING MORONS THAT IT BECOMES DIFFICULT TO SUPPORT YOUR MOVEMENT!!!
Kinda agree. Weed isn't a hill I'm ready to die on, but I fully support anyone's want to partake. Just stop acting like lawyers and marathon runners. I don't want to constantly badgering me with your regaled stories of its awesomeness.
It sounds like we are being criticized for our enthusiasm for marijuana legalization. It is our passion that drives the legalization movement.
