In a recent interview, California Governor Jerry Brown expressed skepticism about marijuana legalization. “How many people can get stoned and still have a great state or a great nation?” Brown asked.

He joins us to talk about his latest book, “Weed Land.”

Guests:

Peter Hecht, reporter for The Sacramento Bee and author of "Weed Land: Inside America's Marijuana Epicenter and How Pot Went Legit"
