Saturday October 3, 2009
10:00am - 5:00pm
The student chapters of the National Lawyers Guild and American Civil Liberties Union have teamed up with Police Officers for Drug Law Reform to host the Michigan Medical Marijuana Symposium from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Oct. 3, 2009, at Wayne State University Law School.

The Symposium will bring together leading experts, including attorneys, doctors and civic leaders, to help clarify Michigan’s new Medical Marijuana Act and educate patients and professionals.

Wayne Law Distinguished Professor Robert Sedler will serve as the keynote speaker. His presentation, “The Law and Medical Marijuana: An Overview,” will outline the prohibitions on the use of marijuana dating back to the 1960s and 1970s, the relationship between these prohibitions and the use of medical marijuana, the federal power needed to prohibit medical marijuana, and the position of the Obama administration on the issue.

The Symposium will also feature three panel sessions, including a legal session, a medical session and a civic session.

Any and all stakeholders in the new Michigan Medical Marijuana Act  - patients, law enforcement, medical professionals - are encouraged to attend. Seating is limited,
pre-registration is advised and will assure you have a seat in the Spencer M. Partrich Auditorium at Wayne State University.


There will be a gathering afterward at a local Detroit venue for food,  entertainment and friendship.
