New “Marijuana Today” podcast on marijuana business, policy and politics

My good friend Kris Lotlikar has started a new podcast called “Marijuana Today,” releasing the first episode yesterday.  I just listened to it and can’t recommend it enough.  Anyone interested in marijuana law and policy who wants something to help pass the time while working out or commuting will definitely enjoy it.  

Kris has a long history in drug policy, having served as the first executive director of Students for Sensible Drug Policy.  He’s now in business, as co-founder and president of an alternative energy company, Renewable Choice Energy.  Kris has also continued his involvement in drug policy and he is affiliated with the Arcview Group. 

Unlike other marijuana-related podcasts, which seem to be targeted at users, Marijuana Today takes a serious look at marijuana policy and features experts in business, law, politics, and more. 

The first episode includes (among other things) an insightful discussion on the differences between Colorado and Washington’s legalization laws, a discussion about the flaws and features of New York’s new medical marijuana law, and some interesting news about the status of medical marijuana licenses in Massachusetts.  Joining Kris Lotlikar on the episode are: Kris Krane, Managing Partner of the marijuana dispensary consulting firm 4Front Advisors; community organizer Dan Goldman

I’ve been in touch with Kris about appearing on a future episode myself and hope to do so as soon as scheduling permits.
