Weed. Marijuana. Grass. Pot. Whatever you prefer to call it, America’s relationship with cannabis is a complicated one.

The Bronx Defenders invites you to Grass is Greener Film screening and panel discussion. Grass is Greener presents an unparalleled look at the racially biased history of the war on marijuana. As more and more states join the push to legalize marijuana, the film dives deep into the real story of cannabis in America.

After the film, The Bronx Defenders and partners will discuss collective efforts to decriminalize marijuana in the New York State and beyond.

Dinner and refreshments will be served.
