12/19 Communities and Cannabis

NYHempLab, OWN Rochester & Roc NORML have teamed up to host an interactive listening series across Rochester, focusing on Cannabis.

This event was organized to help educate community members and stakeholders about the existing and proposed laws for cannabis in New York State. Topics will include decriminalization, the War on Drugs, and the core concepts behind legalization – in preparation for the likelihood of adult-use cannabis becoming legalized in 2020.

Each series will be comprised of four separate events, held in a different quadrant of Rochester (NW, NE, SE, SW). This first set of events will be presented as a “listening series” with the aim of better understanding the interest and concerns of Rochester residents, which will help inform future Communities & Cannabis events.

Future events in the series will be announced in the coming weeks.

Light refreshments will be provided. The events will be free to the public, and will include presentations, panel discussions, Q&A and more. Space is limited so registration is required through Eventbrite.
