This week's Local Motion is a 420 special featuring Kate Redmond's interview of attorney Brian Vicente and Gavin Dahl's interview of journalist Leland Rucker. Nine years ago Vicente co-authored Amendment 64 which legalized marijuana and set up a framework for retail in Colorado. Rucker talks about his reporting for The News Station on evolving views of public officials and voters over the years, a study on the impacts of cannabis use on job performance, new legalization efforts in states like New Mexico, and his pop up book Dimensional Cannabis.
