In the absence of a comprehensive policy regarding medical cannabis in the city and county of San Francisco, which has led to a great deal of confusion and resulted in over 100 arrests of patients and caregivers by the SFPD, we, at HempEvolution.org, are organizing a Medical Cannabis Legal Clinic on the steps of the Hall of Justice; 850 Bryant St; to be held from 11 AM to 4 PM on October 1, 2004.

Confirmed speakers include: J. Tony Serra [America's most repspected criminal defense attorney, Chris Conrad [internationally respected authority on cannabis, industrial hemp, medical marijuana, cultivation, yields and cannabis culture], Dennis Peron [author, Prop 215], Dale Gieringer [California NORML], William Panzer [co-author Prop 215], and many more of the finest attorneys in California.

Invited Speakers include: Kamala Harris [S.F. District Attorney], Jeff Adachi [S.F. Public Defender], , Mayor Gavin Newsom, Police Chief Heather Fong

Topics include: Obtaining a physician's recommendation, providing an affirmative defense, what to do in a police encounter, the nuts and bolts of SB 420, establishing local medical cannabis guidelines, patient-doctor confidentiality, organizing trial support for defendants, fighting asset forfeiture hearings.

The Medical Cannabis Legal Clinic is the inaugural project of the proposed Cannabis Defense Clinic, a project planned to provided legal advice and representation to marijuana defendants in the event that may seek a jury trial.
