Learn How Medical Marijuana and Legalization Efforts are Impacting Communities on Aug. 25 CADCA TV Show

Are you located in a state where medical marijuana is legal or where marijuana legalization is being considered? If so, then don’t miss next week’s CADCA TV program, “The Blunt Truth: Communities Dealing with Marijuana.” During this hour-long show, representatives from various states will discuss how medical marijuana laws and marijuana legalization efforts are impacting their communities, and what they’re doing to tackle this issue. The show airs Aug. 25, from 1-2 p.m. EST.

Led by host Mary Elizabeth Elliott, CADCA’s Vice President of Communications, Membership, and Information Technology, the show will explore how coalitions are counteracting the negative marijuana influence in their communities as laws and attitudes change – whether it’s medical marijuana or marijuana legalization, in general. You’ll learn about the best ways to educate the public about marijuana’s harmful effects on the developing brain, and how coalitions are working with local and state governments on legislation and ordinances.

Guests on the show include:

• Wanda Boone, Executive Director and Founder of Durham Together for Resilient Youth, “TRY” in North Carolina;

• Jim Cooper, Executive Director of TOGETHER! in Washington state;

and • Beth Shrader, Director, Brattleboro Area Prevention Coalition, in Vermont.
