We explore this trend and learn about the increasingly commonplace use of cannabis, in a variety of forms. And we’ll find out about the medical impacts of casual cannabis use.

Panelists:
Keri-Jon Wilson, co-owner and founder of Pot & Pan, a Portland business that makes edible recreational and medicinal cannabis products

Jonathan was born in Monsey, New York. A field trip to Washington, DC when he was in 7th grade started him on his circuitous path to a career in public radio. The trip inspired a love of politics and led to his desire to one day call DC home. After graduating from Grinnell College, he worked on a couple of campaigns in Iowa (presidential and congressional) and moved to Washington, DC.
