Across the country, Americans voted to change drug laws. What's next?

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

Election day in America turned into election month, and obviously everyone was focused on the presidential race, the senate… but there was something else on the ballot in a number of states that turned out to be really significant. From New Jersey to Arizona to Oregon, voters pretty uniformly voted to loosen drug laws. So what happened, what does that mean for the country, and what does it mean for the war on drugs? Scott Burris, Professor of Law and Public Health at Temple University and Director of the Center for Public Health Law Research joins KYW Newsradio In Depth to break down what voters said on election day in multiple states across the country and what it means for public health and criminal justice in America.
