Alabama marijuana law panel in Birmingham this Monday

This Monday, January 28, AL.com will be moderating a marijuana law panel in Birmingham.  The event will be an educational forum for policymakers to discuss Alabama’s marijuana laws. If you are interested in going, please RSVP as space is limited.

Here are the details for the forum:

What: Alabama marijuana law panel

When: 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. on January 28, 2019

Where: Harbert Center, 2019 4th Ave. N, Birmingham, AL 35203

A report put out by two of the participants, Southern Poverty Law Center and Alabama Appleseed Center for Law and Justice, highlights the fiscal and social costs of prohibition. Enforcing these failed marijuana laws costs the state millions of dollars and needlessly harms thousands of Alabamans. Please write your legislators, asking them to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana possession. Then, share the action with your friends and family. Together we can bring sensible marijuana laws to Alabama.
