In Oct. 2017, Al Harrington orchestrated a meeting he’ll never forget. Sitting on a plush, navy couch, Harrington held a piece of paper with a meticulously organized list of questions in his hands. To his right, sat former NBA commissioner David Stern.
“I’m now at the point where, personally, I think [marijuana] probably should be removed from the ban list,” Stern told him early in their conversation, which was filmed for an UNITERUPTED documentary. “I think there is universal agreement that marijuana for medical purposes should be completely legal.”
Harrington was taken aback.
