Engaging people whose lives have been impacted by marijuana is delicate business! Our panelists have been called to turn their grief into hope and their hope into action. They have suffered unimaginable pain as a result of something that current social norms treat as benign; a substance that is being normalized and glorified; a product that is marketed as though it were a health food. Our panelists are speaking out to advocate for change. They will share their journey with you. They will describe how their stories have helped influence policy-based solutions, change communities and save lives. Attendees will gain tools they can employ in their own communities as effective change agents.
