This
year, three bills have been introduced to legalize marijuana. If any of
the bills pass, marijuana will be sold in stores for recreational use.
“A
new generation of kids might be growing up with both alcohol and
psychotropic drugs as adult recreation. If you have an opinion about
this, it’s time to get active. We encourage community members to use our
workshops to help persuade legislators to see your point of view,” said
Director of Middlesex County Substance Abuse Action Council Betsey

The
workshops are free and open to the public but seating is
limited. For more information contact Betsey Chadwick at MCSAAC by
