Forum to Highlight Marijuana: Fact vs. Fiction

Residents are invited to a free interactive forum with legal, health policy and medical experts to learn more about marijuana on Saturday, Dec. 14 from 10 a.m. to noon.  Attendees will learn who is using marijuana and why; the risks and benefits of marijuana use; and, the impact of marijuana on different age groups.

Sponsored by the County’s Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Advisory Council (AODAAC), the forum will be held at Gaithersburg High School, located at 101 Education Boulevard in Gaithersburg.  Register for the free event at http://bit.ly/AODAACMarijuanaForum.

Those requiring special aids or services to participate in this event should contact Hardy Bennett at 240-777-1671 (TTY: MDRelay 711) or hardy.bennett@montgomerycountymd.gov.

The AODAAC provides guidance to the County Executive and County Council to identify alcohol and drug prevention and treatment needs in Montgomery County.  It also reviews the County's efforts to address those needs.
