US MT: Marijuana Symposium Starts Sunday

Helena Independent Record, 08 Oct 2010 – Medical marijuana growers from throughout Montana will gather in Helena Sunday and Monday for their first organized symposium since their association formed about a year ago. The free event is not just for members of the Montana Medical Growers Association, but also for physicians, lawmakers and members of the general public who are curious about the issues surrounding medical marijuana, notes Jim Gingery, the group’s executive director. The symposium will include panel discussions on the science surrounding cannabis, legal considerations, alternative ways to medicate with marijuana, how to operate a small business, and how to communicate with the public, the press and law enforcement.
