What Happened with Cannabis in the Election?

Originally aired: November 13th

Last November, Gallup released the results of a poll that found that 70% of Americans support cannabis legalization. But what will this November mean for cannabis legalization?

On November 13th, we hosted economist, business analyst, and general cannabis policy wonk Andrew Livingston of the cannabis law firm Vicente LLP for a look back at the cannabis initiatives on the ballot this Election Day, what voters decided, and where we go from here.
