Join the newly formed DC-MD-VA Cannabis Coalition for an evening that brings together policy reform advocates, legislators, and the simply curious to celebrate progress and discuss cannabis law reform in the Mid-Atlantic region. The DMVCC will present awards recognizing the contributions of three individuals who have been instrumental in progressing the cause. Keynote speaker Doug Fine will round out the evening with a rollicking and inspiring presentation culled from his years of investigative research into the policies, economics, and sustainability of cannabis and hemp.
About the speaker: After 40 years and over a TRILLION taxpayer dollars, the end of cannabis prohibition is near. According to Gallup, 58% of Americans now favor marijuana legalization, and more and more states are pressuring the federal government to follow their lead as America's longest war winds down. Bestselling investigative journalist Doug Fine, author of Too High to Fail and Hemp Bound, will tell stories and present images from the front lines in North America, South America, and Europe. He will focus on the real world economic benefits of cannabis and hemp, which he has been studying from the fields for five years.
Event Details: The DMVCC welcomes policy makers, legislators, and media -- plus reform advocates AND skeptics -- to this inaugural event. The Busboys and Poets menu will be available for drinks and dining throughout. No need to bring printed tickets, just an ID to check against the reservations list. More details and award recipients will be announced by the end of March.
Thank you to our sponsors: Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps, Virginia NORML, Maryland NORML, and the DC Cannabis Campaign. All proceeds will support future law reform advocacy activities of the DMVCC.
