Could legalizing recreational marijuana help Pennsylvania's economy recover from coronavirus?

There's a lot of talk in Pennsylvania politics about legalizing recreational marijuana as a way to help close the budget gap. In an earlier podcast, we talked about what that could mean for criminal justice reform in the commonwealth. Today, we're tackling what it would mean for Pennsylvania's pocketbook. How would it work? How much money would legal weed bring in? What would stores look like? What can PA learn from other states that have been down this road before? Dr. Kevin Fandl, Associate Professor of Legal Studies at the Fox School of Business at Temple University joins KYW In Depth to talk about the economic impact of legalizing of recreational marijuana in Pennsylvania.
