Is the news industry polarizing us and putting us into echo chambers? Can we find unbiased news in America?

As of March, 2022, 18 states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana, adding it to alcohol and nicotine as a third drug legal for adults.

Kim and Dan talk drugs, decriminalization and regulation in this episode of My America.
