Dr. Gregg Raduka of Georgians for Responsible Marijuana Policy


We look at an issue that has loomed large in Georgia over the past few years: the legalization (for some purposes) of marijuana. We are joined by the preeminent expert in Georgia, Dr. Gregg Raduka of Georgians for Responsible Marijuana Policy. Explaining the science of marijuana and addiction, as well as the experiences of other states that have legalized the drug, Dr. Raduka warns of severe health effects and increased social costs. He also explains the state of the law in Georgia with respect to so-called medical marijuana, “hemp edibles,” etc., and what bills he and his team are monitoring in the legislature this session.
