Jaunary 2019 marked the one-year anniversary of the legalization of recreational cannabis use in California, and the launch of the Cannabis Research Center at UC Berkeley.

Tune in to unpack the equity concerns of the new process, the role of stigma in media narratives, and the personal implications of these changes.   See show notes and full transcript here: https://gspp.berkeley.edu/research-and-impact/news/podcast/episode-214-talking-weed-policy
