Come November, Californians may be voting on whether to legalize recreational marijuana and there's a lot to consider on that front, including issues of public safety, like driving.

Turns out that's a bit trickier to measure, but that's not stopping a group of researchers at UC San Diego from trying. Associate physician Barth Wilsey is involved in the project and he joins Alex Cohen for a discussion on the matter.
