Looking to Other States, Officials Expect Marijuana Will Be Legalized In Kentucky

Marijuana is still illegal in Kentucky but advocates and officials are shifting their attitudes towards the drug. The Jefferson County Attorney's Office said it would prosecute fewer marijuana-related offenses in Louisville, and state lawmakers have pushed for the passage of medical marijuana.

Our guests included Colorado Public Radio Reporter Ann Marie Awad, State Representative Nima Kulkarni, Metro Councilman Brandon Coan and Marijuana Policy Project Legislative Analyst Matt Simon.
