How have drug wars influenced our current policy responses to marijuana and other substances? What impact have these policies had on different communities?

What don’t we know and why? How have politics shaped research and our knowledge of marijuana and other substances?

What are the prospects for these proposals and how might they influence one another? How does New York compare in its reform efforts to other parts of the country? How can these efforts be linked to broader drug policy reform goals? What are the racial politics of each of these proposals? \nModerator: Kassandra Frederique\, M.S.W.\, Drug Policy Alliance\nVanessa Gibson\, Chair\, Committee on Public Safety\, New York City Council (invited)\nRichard Gottfried\, New York State Assembly\, 75th District\nHakeem Jeffries\, United States Congress\, 8th District\nHarry Levine\, Ph.D.\, Queens University\nArt Way\, J.D.\, Drug Policy Alliance\, Denver \n4:30 PM: “Where We’ve Been and Where We’re Going: Four U.S. Drug Policy Reform Traditions”\nDavid T.
