DEBATE COVERS ISSUES OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA ACT

An open-forum debate between Paul Befumo of the Medical Marijuana
Policy Project of Montana and Rep. Jim Shockley (R-Victor) examining
the Montana Medical Marijuana Act, I-148, will be open to the public
at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 20, in the Strand Union Building ballrooms
on the Montana State University campus.

Does science suggest that marijuana possesses credible medicinal
benefits or is the medical marijuana movement just a front for
outright legalization? This November, Montana voters will have a
chance to change the state's laws. Activists from the Marijuana Policy
Project of Montana raised more than 25,000 signatures to get a medical
marijuana initiative placed on the general election ballot.

This is a free event sponsored by ASMSU Lively Arts and Lectures and
open to all.
