Smoke Screen - Under the Influence of Marijuana Politics & Power

Over 800,000 people are arrested for marijuana possession in the US each year, and legal marijuana is the fastest growing industry here in the US. How have we reached a point that an illegal substance can create over 25 million dollars in tax revenue in a year, and still land you in prison? Moe Spencer is a Marijuana attorney, based in Seattle, and will introduce you to the history of Marijuana growth and its use within the U.S. , the political reasons for why it became illegal, and the origins of its Schedule 1 Narcotics  rating from the DEA, which is the same as Heroin. Be sure to come and join us at 1:30 in Baker hall on April 18th, to learn more about the sordid history behind America’s most controversial plant!
