Steven Malanga\\xa0joins\\xa0Seth Barron\\xa0to discuss expanding efforts to legalize recreational marijuana use, a movement helped along by extensive misinformation about the drug\'s supposed health benefits.

This year, at least eight states are debating laws that would permit recreational pot. Marijuana advocates claim that the drug is therapeutic and that legalizing it will end the unjust imprisonment of casual users, especially in minority communities. But as\\xa0Malanga writes in\\xa0City Journal, "Even as the legalization push gains momentum, scientific journals report mounting evidence of the drug\'s harmful psychological effects and social consequences."
