Ben Cort, the author of "Weed, Inc.", to LPS on Monday, March 9th, at 6:30 pm at Heritage High School. Ben is a national speaker on the topic of THC, legalization, and the myths of the marijuana industry. He is known for his ability to effectively challenge teens' faulty beliefs about marijuana with humor, facts, using the marijuana industry's own marketing materials and debunking marijuana's status as a "miracle medicine". Ben has been on TedTalks and worked with numerous state governments regarding legalization issues and prevention policies. He is the founder of Phoenix Multisport, a sober gym community in several states. He is a Colorado local and is passionate about educating people in an accessible and meaningful way. A chapter in his book titled "Arguments and Rebuttals: How to Respond to What 17-year-olds Throw at You" has been embraced by parents who are trying to support their adolescents to make healthy choices.
Ben will be doing a book signing and presentation, followed by an LPS panel on the topic of "The Truth of the Marijuana Debate". Heritage High School is hosting the event but it is open to all staff, parents and students grades 6th and up.
