July is fast approaching and with it the new marijuana law. Steven Waldo, a retired investigator and educator for the Vermont Department of Liquor Control will present for 40 minutes on what you need to know about marijuana in Vermont. "The goal is for you all to walk away with a complete understanding of what the new law says, what it does, and most importantly, what it does not do." Says Steven. The free event will be held during the Drug Abuse Resistance Team community meeting on May 8th from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the United Community Church on 1325 Main Street St. Johnsbury VT.
