PBS Travel Host Rick Steves Talks Support for Legal Pot in Michigan

Traveling the world helped turn the travel writer into an advocate for legal and regulated marijuana.

In about a month Michiganders will vote on a few big ballot questions, including whether to legalize marijuana.

Travel writer Rick Steves is in Michigan this week to advocate for legalizing marijuana, and why he thinks legalizing and regulating marijuana is the right thing to do.

Steves, the host of PBS travel program “Rick Steves’ Europe”, and author of numerous travel books, says his many travels helped spur his interest in legalizing and regulating marijuana.
