What's Next For Arizona's Medical Marijuana Laws?

A recent ruling by the Arizona Court of Appeals affects a very specific aspect of medical marijuana law.

The decision determined that the resin of the cannabis plant isn’t the same legally as the plant itself. So even if someone is permitted to use medical marijuana, use of the resin —or hashish — is against the law.

Amanda Chicago Lewis, a columnist for Rolling Stone magazine, joined The Show to talk about the various challenges to marijuana laws and what could be next.
