Sacramento Bee writer Peter Hecht has been reporting on marijuana since 2009. His book “Weed Land: Inside America’s Marijuana Epicenter and How Pot Went Legit” was California State University Sacramento’s One Book for 2015-2016. Hecht joins Insight to discuss an initiative to tax marijuana to pay for youth services in Sacramento, which was approved by the City Council this week.
