What Would Legalizing Recreational Marijuana Use Mean For Arizona?

Washington and Colorado were the first two states in the U.S. to approve the legal use of recreational marijuana. But the idea has gained some momentum in a lot of other states.

In Arizona, a ballot measure has been introduced to allow residents who are at least 21 years old to possess and even grow limited amounts of marijuana.

We talked with Carlos Alfaro, Arizona political director for the Marijuana Policy Project, and Sheila Polk, Yavapai County attorney.

Steve Goldstein was a host at KJZZ from 1997 to 2022.
