In the coming weeks, the Illinois legislature will debate the proposed legalization of recreational marijuana. What are the pros and cons? What kinds of regulation can we expect?

The League of Women Voters - Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Area is holding its monthly Drinks & Discussion meeting on Wednesday, May 1. Linda Hinde is presenting an overview of the bill plus the experiences other states had after decriminalizing cannabis. Hinde is a League member and has assisted State Senator Julie Morrison in researching and evaluating marijuana legislation.

Drinks & Discussion presentations are brief, engaging, and allow for Q&A. Bring a friend to North Shore Distillery on Wednesday, May 1, 6:30 - 7:30 pm. 13990 Rockland Road, Green Oaks, IL 60048
