b'If you are like most people in the US, you might\\xa0be thinking, "What do you mean, there are bans on cannabis businesses, I thought cannabis was legalized with Prop 64?", and you would be correct. Prop 64 did\\xa0legalize cannabis, however it also allowed local governments the right to\\xa0tax and regulate, or outright BAN\\xa0cannabis businesses as they see fit. Our guest, Jacqueline McGowan is the founder of the group \\u201cCalifornia- City & County Ban Watch\\u201d which has become the #1 news source for cannabis regulations in the state. She began the group at the beginning of 2016 in order to track local bans that were sweeping the state after the passage of MCRSA. The group is now busy tracking Proposition 64 bans as well as local medical cannabis regulation implementation.'
