Ending Marijuana Prohibition: Should Vermont Lead or Follow?
Tell us about your experience with this online video, click here.
Description
In Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Alaska, and our nation's capital, voters have passed initiatives to end marijuana prohibition. A strong majority of Vermonters also support our state moving to regulate and tax marijuana similarly to alcohol. The Vermont Coalition to Regulate Marijuana and the UVM Young Americans for Liberty sponsor this educational forum.
Legislators and policy experts discuss some of these relevant and timely questions:
* Why have attitudes on marijuana policy changed so dramatically?
* What questions remain before legislators can agree to legalize and regulate?
* Should Vermont be the first New England state to end marijuana prohibition?
Featured panelists and speakers:
* Senate Minority Leader Joseph Benning (R-Lyndonville)
* Senator David Zuckerman (P-Hinesburg)
* Rep. Linda Waite-Simpson (D-Essex)
* Rep. Suzy Wizowaty (D-Burlington), Executive Director, Vermonters for Criminal Justice Reform
* Paul Volk, Former President, Vermont Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers
* Fran Janik, cannabis patient advocate
* Laura Subin, Director, Vermont Coalition to Regulate Marijuana
* Matt Simon, New England Political Director, Marijuana Policy Project
