Marijuana Community Forum-January 30th at Stevenson High School
As the new administration takes office in Springfield, the topic of the commercialization of marijuana will become more heated. Learn more about what this could mean for our youth.
National experts will be on hand to discuss lessons learned from states that have legalized marijuana and will educate us on the difference between legalization, decriminalization and commercialization, as well as the impact the proposed policy would have on our community. Experts include:
- Kevin Sabet, CEO of Smart Approaches to Marijuana and former drug policy adviser to President Obama;
- Dale Quigley, Deputy Coordinator, High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA)
- Charmaine and James Hays, community activists from Compton, California
- Dr. Aaron Weiner, Director of Addiction Services, Linden Oaks Behavioral Health
Date: Wednesday, January 30
Time: 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Location: Adlai E. Stevenson High School,
1 Stevenson Dr., Lincolnshire - West Auditorium
