Connections: Medical Marijuana in New York

We're looking at the coming medical marijuana industry in New York state with a man who wants one of the five licenses that New York state will hand out. Josh Stanley helped develop a strain of marijuana known as "Charlotte's Web," which has become famous for treating pediatric epilepsy. He's been a big player in the medical marijuana scene in other states, and his TED talk on medical marijuana is a rather big hit. Now he's moved here to get involved in New York state.

We'll talk to Josh Stanley, and we'll likely have two additional guests to talk about various strains, what they impact, etc. We also talk with Dr. Marc Rossow, and Christine Emerson.
