A California lawmaker last week introduced a bill to “tax and regulate marijuana in a manner similar to alcohol.” Later in the week, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder indicated that the Obama administration may end raids on pot dispensaries in California.

Guests:

John Lovell, lobbyist for California Peace Officers' Association

James P. Gray, retired Orange County Superior Court judge and speaker for LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition)
