As of March, 2022, 18 states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana, adding it to alcohol and nicotine as a third drug legal for adults. Is it time for a reckoning on the “War on Drugs” in America? What about what happens to those incarcerated Americans after we’ve changed the laws? Kim and Dan talk drugs, decriminalization and regulation in this episode of My America.
