2012 SSDP Conference In Denver
Readers may have noticed a dip in our content output over the last two days. That’s because we were driving from Eugene, Oregon to Denver, Colorado! This is by far the farthest we have traveled for an event, but from what everyone is telling me, it will be well worth it. If you are at the 13th Annual Students for Sensible Drug Policy Conference in Denver this weekend, make sure to stop by The Weed Blog table and say hello. Below is information about the conference:
