Finally, their calls for help are being heard. Last week, the state auditor’s office announced it had started an investigation into the Camino Real Regional Utility Authority, based on concerns raised by residents and the state Environment Department. State Auditor Joseph Maestas said his office is in regular communications with both the Environment Department and Justice Department about CRRUA. Today's guest, Justice Smith, shares her experience-based insights on important considerations of medical and recreational cannabis production, sales and consumption. She offers perspectives on the initial hot expansion of producers and dispensaries, and the recent cooling and contracting trend. We give some attention to the projects underway for releasing people imprisoned on minor cannabis infractions. We touch on the shift in the general public's thinking about the medicinal use of the plant and hear a little bit about the effects of recreational consumption in our community. We explore a little of the history of cannabis in cultural context, and the ebb and flow of acceptance and prohibition, past and present.
