Join representatives from both sides of the marijuana legalization debate next Monday, Aug. 20, at noon, to talk about the pros and cons of Initiative 502, moderated by The Seattle Times political team.
I-502 is
on the November ballot. It would legalize, regulate and tax
recreational marijuana use. Participants include Alison Holcomb (to the
left), drug policy director for the ACLU of Washington, currently on
loan to the I-502 campaign. She
has served 
on the King County Bar Association’s Drug Policy Project,
and the Seattle City Council’s Marijuana Policy Review Panel and Jail
Capacity Study Advisory Group.
Also joining us is Kevin Sabet (to the right), the former senior adviser to Director Gil Kerlikowske (former chief of Seattle police) of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. Sabet is currently an assistant professor in the College of Medicine at the University of Florida and a senior consultant to the UN and grassroots organizations.
