Dr. David Khey discusses marijuana legalization this week on Bayou to Beltway (Wed, 12:30 am KRVS 88.7 fm)
This week Bayou to Beltway welcomes Dr. David Khey, head of the UL Criminal Justice Department to discuss an issue in the news: marijuana legalization. A recent poll suggests Louisianans favor legalizing marijuana not just for medical purposes but also for recreational purposes. Dr. Khey and I discuss the poll and the implications for public policy, law, and criminal justice in Louisiana? What will happen to those already convicted of marijuana violations if the drug is legalized? How will this substance be regulated and taxed.
