About

Over 800,000 people are arrested for marijuana possession in the US each year – this in the same country where our founding father, George Washington, grew marijuana on his farm. Now legal marijuana is one of the fastest growing industries in the US. Merwin Moe Spencer is a marijuana attorney and will introduce you to the history of marijuana growth and its use in the US, the political reasons for why it became illegal, and the origins of its classification as a Schedule 1 Narcotic (the same classification given to heroin). Nixon’s mandate for its Schedule 1 classification has had far-reaching consequences on areas from the economy to race relations and continues to color our politics today. The climate is changing and people are divided on this issue. Moe equips his audiences with the historical and legal facts to make up their own mind on this controversial topic.

The Moe Spencer lecture went really well! It had great attendance for our smaller events (about 170 people) and there was awesome audience participation! Moe was also a great speaker and guest to have at our university; we thoroughly enjoyed having him!

We had our event today with Moe, and it was fantastic! He made sure to stop by the campus earlier this week and check out the campus and venue as well as discuss the content that would be covered with my team and I, which I really appreciated.  The event was jam-packed, and the students loved it! Feedback was good, and attendance was really high. 
Thanks for your help in making this happen.

Moe Spencer was amazing. Everyone really loved he topic and how it was presented. He was very charismatic and informative. In addition to the meet and greet and the interactive Q &A, many students were interested and had more questions which was awesome as they were really interested in this topic. He was able to stay after to talk with the other students which was great! This truly was an amazing event and everyone loved it!
