Join us at our July Hanover Democratic Committee meeting to hear from JM Pedini, development director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws and executive director of the state affiliate chapter, Virginia NORML. The meeting will be Saturday, July 8 at 10 a.m. at Around the Table, 155 Junction Drive. Ashland VA 23005.
In Virginia, their work has directly resulted in the legalization of medical and adult-use cannabis, decriminalization of personal marijuana possession, and the establishment of the Virginia Legislative Cannabis Caucus and the Virginia Cannabis Control Authority.
Appointed to the Governor’s Marijuana Legalization Work Group and as co-chair of the Legal and Regulatory Subcommittee, their current focus is on the Commonwealth’s continued effort to establish a fair and equitable adult-use cannabis regulatory structure that prioritizes consumer safety. At NORML, they oversee the global chapter affiliate network and ensure availability of resources and tools necessary to leverage the organization’s powerful grassroots support.
Prior to drug policy reform, they enjoyed a successful entertainment and media career with The Walt Disney Company. Please join us on July 8 to hear an update on Virginia laws on this important issue. For more, visit vanorml.org.
