Cannabis Cultures: Tour, Discussion & Reception in Denver

The Association for Political and Legal Anthropology, the Anthropology of Tourism Interest Group, the Culture & Agriculture section, the Society for the Anthropology of Food and Nutrition, and the Society for the Anthropology of North America have organized a free tour of the cannabis industry and a public anthropology forum to enable anthropologists to learn firsthand about the possibilities and risks accompanying legalized marijuana. Cannabis Cultures is a formal event of the 2015 Annual Meeting of the American Anthropological Association. The organizers have created and sponsored this free event to bring together anthropologists and colleagues from across different subfields to engage with issues of timely concern for our host city.
