MERRY JANE caught up with Ethan Nadelmann, founder and executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance, to get his take on marijuana prohibition and the efforts leading to legalizing cannabis across the nation.

Nadelmann has played a pivotal role in most major drug reform ballot initiative campaigns in the U.S. including medical marijuana and marijuana legalization.

Watch as Nadelmann explains how California’s Prop 64 is the “Gold Standard” for marijuana legalization and how it can be a model for the future and be sure to check on MERRY JANE on YouTube for more of our original video content.
