After Legalization Of “Medical” Marijuana, What’s Next?
John Redman, from the Office of National Drug Control Policy, with Consultative Status to the UN and Director of Demand Reduction for California’s High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA), will be in Clearwater for ONE NIGHT ONLY.
This fast, evolving and changing climate of drug legalization has arrived at our front door. We are facing legalization of medical marijuana in Florida. John will explain the facts and realities about this and what’s going on nationally. This is a rare opportunity to get all questions answered from someone who lives and breathes this issue on an international level.
News headlines focus on the controversy surrounding campaigns for and against full marijuana legalization. But when the campaign controversy dies down, law enforcement, city officials, tourism leaders and school authorities are left to make it work.
What are the pitfalls, problems and issues faced after marijuana laws pass? How much does it cost cities and towns? How does it affect convention business and tourism?
