Dr. Burnett is a physician advocate and a board member of Doctors for Cannabis Regulation. Currently a resident physician in the Johns Hopkins General Preventive Medicine program, Dr. Burnett analyzes the public health implications of current drug policy. Burnett, an Atlanta native, joined us to talk about marijuana legalization through a racial justice lens, and what every aspiring cannabis industry entrepreneur should know.
