Public Health, Delta and Menominee Counties, along with the SAVE council, will be hosting an Informational town hall meeting called Marijuana Legalization: "The Impact." The meeting will be held Thursday May 25, at the Bay College Besse Center Theater at 6 p.m.
Guest speaker will be Kevin Wong, who has been a crime and intelligence analyst since 2003. He has worked for the Phoenix (Arizona) and Denver Police Departments, as well as the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. Wong joined the Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program in 2013 as the lead strategic and research project analyst. He is regarded as a subject matter expert in the area of the impact of the legalization of marijuana to Colorado and is often sought out by the national media for his insights in this emerging topic, organizers said.
"Colorado was one of the first states to legalize both medical and recreational marijuana. As the experimental lab for the nation, the impact of legalization will emerge over time. This presents an opportunity to gather and examine meaningful statistics surrounding the social experiment. Citizens and policymaker will have the ability to decide whether legalization of marijuana has had a positive impact based on factual real data," organizers said.
