On this episode of BofC Live, we connect with Yoko Miyashita, CEO of Leafly. Last week, as part of 4/20, Miyashita and other cannabis industry leaders and advocates descended on Pennsylvania to advocate for the economic and social justice benefits of legalization. When legalized, Pennsylvania will become one of the largest adult-use recreational cannabis markets in the US, but will also be home to thousands of new cannabis-related jobs and avoid tens of thousands of needless arrests on cannabis-related offenses.

BofC Live is the daily news and interview program of Business of Cannabis. Business of Cannabis highlights the companies, brands, people and trends driving the sector.
