Meeting 11/18: Legalizing Marijuana

Proposition 19, the bill that would legalize the sale of marijuana in California, failed.  But the debate still goes on whether states should legalize marijuana.  There are many sides to the issue, but it is an issue that once lived in the realm of the alternative but is now enjoying airtime in the mainstream media.  So for tonight’s discussion, we will talk about the benefits and disadvantages of legalizing pot, but also what makes something “alternative” and “mainstream.”
