This is the Full A and B Blocks of Weed Talk news with Alaina Pinto released earlier this week. Andrews Behringer in Washington DC, LeVanna Vassau in California, Tina Tasaka in Nevada, Lisa Williams in Texas. PCM Founder Jimmy Young interviews NEWS 13 NY Tara Rosenblum on her cannabis contest documenting 3 social equity participants for two years in that crazy NY market.
