On today's Your Call, we’ll talk about the changing landscape of pot legalization in the United States. In last month’s elections, marijuana was legalized in two states: Colorado and Washington. But federal law still prohibits its sale and use. So how will these new state laws hold up? What will a legal commercial market for pot look like? And how will California’s medical marijuana laws be effected going forward? Join us at 10am Pacific Time or post a comment here. It’s Your Call, with Rose Aguilar, and You.
