Tauhid Chappell is an Executive Board Member of the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists. He’s worked at the Washington Post, the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Free Press. Jelani Gibson reports for New Jersey Cannabis Insider, a joint effort from NJ.com and The Star Ledger.  They took a break from telling truth to power and following the money to give us an insider's peak behind the scenes of how legal weed really works—and who it works for.
