ST. LOUIS – You can eat it, drink it or smoke it.

But should marijuana be legalized in our area?

When St. Louis hosted a marijuana conference, we brought our mobile studio right to the story.

For this story, we invited Coltyn Turner and Howard Weissman to the Let's Be Clear mobile studio.

Coltyn Turner is an Illinois native who has since moved to Colorado so he could use medical cannabis. The 18-year-old said he was diagnosed with Chron's disease, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus after a near drowning at a lake at Boy Scout camp.

We also spoke to Howard Weissman, the Executive Director of the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse.

We did our interviews live on Facebook, so you could ask the questions in real time.
