WCVB, Hearst’s ABC affiliate in Boston, tackles the major issues, concerns and questions about legalized marijuana in a one-hour special tonight at 8.

NewsCenter 5 Primetime: Mass Marijuana covers several topics related to the upcoming start of retail sales of recreational marijuana in Massachusetts and explores medical marijuana, which was previously legalized there.

The special will explore the history of marijuana, from the anti-pot movement to the cultural changes today that led to voters approving recreational marijuana; the newly released regulations for recreational marijuana from the Cannabis Control Commission; and the continued controversy over medical marijuana and the debate about potential benefits to one’s health.

In addition, the special talks with law enforcement about the challenges they face when it comes to determining and prosecuting illegal use of marijuana; the marijuana lifestyle — largely centered on food — that is emerging here and in states that have legalized pot; and experts give advice to parents about how to talk to their children about drugs now that marijuana is mainstream.
