California will kick off 2018 by initiating recreational sales of marijuana.

As the most populous state in the nation approaches cannabis legalization, residents, businesses and officials are looking to places — such as Colorado and Washington — that have started down this road already.

Alicia Wallace, The Cannabist’s national marijuana business and policy reporter, and Bob Young, who covers marijuana for the Seattle Times, will be guests on Southern California radio program “AirTalk” to share information about the lessons learned from Colorado and Washington, respectively.

The interview is scheduled to take place Thursday at 10:30 a.m. Pacific on KPCC 89.3 but has been delayed due to coverage of the Los Angeles fires.
