United States of Weed podcast: Legalized marijuana revolutionizes Oregon

The US Weed

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — As marijuana legalization sweeps across the nation, we can only wonder what completely decriminalized pot culture will look like in New York.

Advance journalists Amanda Steen and Kyle Lawson recent headed to Oregon to understand how legalized weed has transformed the state, from business to enforcement, usage to in-state pot growth.

In this podcast episode titled “Touring Oregon,” Steen and Lawson sat down with staffer Mark Stein to discuss various issues related to marijuana in Oregon, and whether or not the issues the state faced could come New York’s way.

You can download the podcast from the iTunes Store, or listen to it via the YouTube clip above.

Earlier this year, SILive and the Advance published an in-depth series called “The United States of Weed” that focused on multiple angles of legalized marijuana in Oregon, and other facets of pot in the U.S.
