FORUM ON MARIJUANA MYTHS SCHEDULED AT CONN COLLEGE

New London - Ledge Light Health District and seven substance abuse 
prevention coalitions throughout Connecticut will present, "Reefer 
Sanity: Seven Great Myths about Marijuana with Dr. Kevin Sabet," from 
9 to 11 a.m. June 17.

The forum will take place in the 1941 Room in the College Center at 
Crozier Williams at Connecticut College.

The purpose is to inform state and local policymakers about this 
important public health issue. Sabet will discuss marijuana's impact 
on youth, the importance of preventing another "Big Tobacco," legal 
reform, as well as the latest data and experiences from Colorado and 
Washington. He is the co-founder of Smart Approaches to Marijuana and 
past senior advisory for policy to the White House Office of National 
Drug Control Policy. He started the movement to educate the community 
on medical marijuana and he is concerned with the national trend 
toward legalization.

State and local policy makers are invited.

Ledge Light is the public health agency that serves East Lyme, 
Groton, Ledyard, New London and Waterford.
