Activist brings marijuana policy to NJ Libertarian Convention
Chris Goldstein is a respected marijuana activist working locally with The Coalition for Medical Marijuana New Jersey and NORML-NJ. On Saturday March 12th he will deliver a speech to the New Jersey Libertarian Party Convention. www.njlp.org
The 1PM talk takes place at the Brookdale Community College campus in Lincroft, NJ.
Goldstein has been helping to organize New Jersey patients and advocates in the fight with governor Chris Christie over reasonable regulations for the state’s new medical cannabis program.
The 30-minute talk will include a PowerPoint presentation on the history of marijuana prohibition in America. Goldstein will also speak about current events in the Garden State. There is also a question-and-answer portion for attendees and the media.
“The ongoing impasse over these regulations has been a disaster for the seriously ill residents who need this law to work. It has also created a rare Constitutional conflict. The Legislature is trying to uphold the law and protect the integrity of the Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act.”
Goldstein recently launched a new website to cover marijuana reform on the East Coast: www.freedomisgreen.com
