Free screening of award-winning medical marijuana documentary Waiting to Inhale this Monday

Dear friends:

Can’t afford the price of admission to see a movie these days? You’re not alone. But there’s good news: this Monday the New Deal Café in Greenbelt will be hosting a free screening of Waiting to Inhale, a documentary examining the arguments surrounding the movement to legalize marijuana for medical treatment. Here are the details:

What: Free screening of Waiting to Inhale

Where: New Deal Café, 113 Centerway, Greenbelt, MD 20770

When: Monday, May 17, 7:00 p.m. (Optional vegan buffet dinner at 6:30 — $13)

Produced by Jed Riffe and funded in part by the Marijuana Policy Project, Waiting to Inhale examines the debate over marijuana’s medical efficacy and whether and how to make it available to seriously ill patients suffering from diseases such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, and multiple sclerosis. Among other awards, the film was named Best Documentary at the Eureka International Film Festival and the New Jersey Film Festival, and won the 2007 CINE Golden Eagle. You can check out a preview of the film here.

Following the film, MPP’s Karen O’Keefe will lead a discussion about the film and legislation recently considered in Maryland and passed in Washington D.C. As Director of State Policies, Karen was the lead drafter of the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act and has actively lobbied for the passage of medical marijuana laws in state legislatures around the country.
