    It’s been two years since California passed Prop 64, which legalized the recreational use of marijuana. KCRW’s Greater LA hosts a panel investigating the messy green rush that’s followed.

    We look at the rules and who’s setting them; the farmers market-style “pot seshes;” how legalization has changed pot culture and redefined the “new stoner;” why the illegal market is still three times bigger than the legal market. And finally, where do things go from here?
