The future of marijuana registers as the main topic for discussion tonight as The Capital City Area Black Caucus offers a three-hour discussion on "The Color of Cannabis: Challenges, Choices and Opportunities".
The Sept. 11 conference includes a host of panelists and topics including issues pertaining to medical marijuana use, marijuana legalization, economic opportunities available should state officials legalize marijuana, expungement of records that involved marijuana possession and a litany of other ideas about the popular recreational drug.
Guests are welcomed to attend a 4 p.m. community reception inside the Community Room of Mercer County Community College James Kerney Campus located at 102 N.Broad St. The Cannabis discussion lasts from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m.
John Bailey, organizer of the CCABC, said panelists originate from political, industry, business, health, law enforcement, cannabis advocacy, faith, community organization leaders and concerned citizens around New Jersey's coming cannabis boom. Discussions will hash out the intricacies of cannabis legalization and how a move toward recreational use will impact the state, communities and citizens of color in New Jersey.
