WORLD PREMIER
Presented by Michael DeLeon, President, Steered Straight, Inc.
From the Producer who brought you the award-winning documentary "Kids Are Dying" and the follow-up film "An American Epidemic" comes a brand new look at the biggest drug change America is facing - the widespread recreational legalization of marijuana. A movement that has been well funded, commercialized and marketed en-masse, this film will evoke deep thought and controversy, and will no doubt change the conversation.
Directed and Produced by Michael DeLeon of Steered Straight, this 1 hour documentary takes you on a journey through one of the most divisive and changing drug issues in America and won't just pose new issues, but will challenge you to ask new questions. Everyone who watches this film will look at this social issue in a new way - no matter pro or con.
Upon completion of this session, attendees will be able to:
- Understand the process with which the legalizer movement has duped the American Public about why legalization should take place and articulate at least 7 objections to legalization
- Understand the similarities in objectives between Big Tobacco and Big Marijuana
- Articulate the illogical state policies of marijuana legalization and propose real solutions to reversing the dangers while also understanding what needs to take place to put marijuana in a position to be studied for medical reasons
