This Monday, Jan. 30, Marijuana: The Law and Social Policy will take place in The Rotary Room at Fairfield Public Library at 7 p.m.  Please RSVP, if you have not already, by e-mailing MaddoxTeam@mmaddoxlaw.com

This presentation will explain State and federal marijuana laws, including laws that pertain to medical marijuana in Connecticut. There will be discussion about some of the risks and potential costs that we are facing as marijuana becomes legalized in other states and appears to be trending toward greater mainstream acceptance.

Attorney Matthew Maddox

Discussion will include marijuana’s longstanding medical history and recent experience in Colorado and Washington related to distribution regulations as well as tax revenue.

It will also touch upon some of the chemical and neurological considerations that we should understand about marijuana’s impact upon the developing adolescent brain, addictive behavior and as a gateway to other behaviors.

We here at The Maddox Law Firm believe that this topic is important to talk about now in order to ensure that accurate information and data are made available to our subscribers, adolescents and their families.

The vote on recreational marijuana will be coming to Connecticut soon — be sure you are educated!
