Kentuckians for Medicinal Marijuana will hold a Cannabis Town Hall Meeting at Boone County Library in Burlington on Saturday from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.
There will be an informational presentation about the benefits of medical marijuana.
The group, a nonprofit, has been giving these presentations across Kentucky for the past two years, advocating the legalization of marijana for medical purposes.
It was founded in 2013 by Jaime Montalvo who faced years in prison for cultivation and use of cannabis to treat hi multiple sclerosis. In its short history, KY4MM has build a following of patients and citizens alike from across the state.
Its stated mission is to provide “truthful research-supported information to education the general public, physicians, law enforcement, and deleted officials at all levels of government about the medicinal values of cannabis We want everyone to understand the facts so that the injustice that is cannabis prohibition can be righted. The greatest harm associated with cannabis is the prohibition itself.”
