The 420 show

Hosted by Evan Kleiman and KCRW Staff Nov. 05, 2016 Food & Drink

In honor of the election, we're all about pot and Proposition 64, a measure that would legalize recreational marijuana and hemp use in California. "Weediquette" Host Krishna Andavolou briefs us on the broad strokes of the measure, and Jeff "The 420 Chef" explains how to cook and bake with the herb. Food writer Gillian Ferguson visits a "flower" tasting, and Craig McNamara gives a farmer's perspective on Prop. 64.
