[Vision2020] Fwd: FW: Marijuana in Idaho Training: Medical, Media & Misconceptions

Wed Jun 26 13:50:41 PDT 2013

I'm guesing that the presenters haven't evolved beyond . . .

"Reefer Madness" (download and watch it)

You realize, of course, that more than half (I've heard 75%) of the Mexican drug cartel's revenue comes from the sale of marijuana in the United States.

Failure to legalize, regulate, and tax marijuana only serves to benefit the Mexican drug cartel, not to mention the money, time, and effort involved in arresting, trying, and incarcerating people for simple possession.

Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill 
If you want to be like the folks on the hill."

They hid the descriptions in with the presenters bios:  Stiles will speak on the history of drug legalization in the United States and Idaho, the national pro-drug lobbying organizations responsible for this trend, and the social, economic and legal consequences of legalization. Common misconceptions of legalization will be discussed, along with ways to educate communities on the subject.
