The Oakland Museum, which is located in California, will host an exhibition dedicated to hemp. The event will be held under the motto "Changed State: Marijuana in California". The organizers plan to tell visitors about the properties of cannabis and methods of its use in the medical field and in everyday life. Also, experts pay attention to the discussion of the issue of society's attitude to this plant. The initiators of the exhibition plan to focus on the beneficial qualities of marijuana, its possibilities in the development of creative thinking and its potential in American industry. Speakers will be guided by scientific data and the results of sociological surveys.
Museum director Kelly McKinley said California is at a tipping point as the state passes legislation to legalize cannabis in the near future. The Oakland Museum guide allows visitors to express their opinions about cannabis.
The exhibition is scheduled for April 2016. The large-scale event will last until September, when Californians will have the opportunity to decide on a list of restrictions on the use of marijuana. At the request of the people, the state authorities can allow the use of the plant not only for medical purposes, but also for relaxation.
As of today, the use of cannabis has been partially removed from the ban in three US states and in the city of Washington. In the 21st state, legalization is planned or has already been introduced, but only for medical purposes. At the state level, marijuana is illegal.
Representatives of states where the plant is not prosecuted by law, talk about economic growth. For example, between July 1 last year and June 30, 2016, Colorado received $70 million in tax revenue, twice the amount of income from alcohol. This is the first time in American history that this has happened.
As for legalization on the territory of Russia, they don't talk about it aloud. Here, cannabis belongs to the first group of prohibited substances and is irrevocably seized upon detection. The use of cannabis in the Russian Federation is punishable by imprisonment or an administrative fine (if the amount is small).
