The recreational use of marijuana becomes legal in Connecticut tomorrow, July 1. But much work is left to be done surrounding legal pot, including the creation of regulations for cannabis sale and production, and filling in the details of racial and social equity provisions.

Guest:

Ned Lamont -- Governor of the State of Connecticut
