City Council President Michelle Wu joined Boston Herald Radio’s “Newsfeed” program yesterday to talk about a range of hot-button topics, including hoverboards, self-driving cars and supporting legal marijuana.

Q: Where do you stand on the issue of legalizing recreational marijuana?

A: If it’s on the ballot I plan to vote for legalization. I think the enforcement of the laws have led to really unfortunate inequities. If you look at proportion of black and brown young men who are incarcerated because of unequal enforcement of our drug laws. As a country, this is something that I think we have to confront urgently. There’s always questions after that of how do you implement it, how do you regulate it. Those are things I think we can figure out. But my own view is that I don’t think we should be treating it in the same way as we do other much more medically documented dangerous substances.

Q: Should hoverboards be banned in Boston?

A: There are a couple of different transportation technologies that I really think we need to be out in front of, like hoverboards. I know Segways were a huge issue also a number of years ago. And kind of taking it one step further, we are on the verge of seeing self-driving cars and driverless cars. So there’s a lot coming down the road. No pun intended. I don’t think our first instinct should necessarily be to ban everything, but we do need to think deliberately on how we can balance new technologies and the benefits of it with public safety and convenience and accessibility for everyone.

Q: What are your thoughts on self-driving cars?

A: I think they’re coming. It’s just a matter of how we regulate them and what the models are going to be. I think in some ways it could be a huge benefit. You think about the potential of people to carpool much more easily and the time that you’ll give back when you’re in the car. There are all sorts of statistics that show how much additional stress commuting by driving causes and the chances that you’re going to have a heart attack go up and all of this pretty bad stuff. So it could be great, but we have to be careful that it doesn’t actually generate more automobile traffic.

Q: What is your thinking behind lowering the speed limit in Boston?

A: This is actually something the council has done every year for a number of years. … But I do want to clarify — it’s not taking all speed limits and making them 20 miles per hour in the city. We’re talking about places, mostly residential side streets, where there’s no posted signs.
