We often talk about how marijuana is safer than alcohol and point out the harms alcohol can cause. But for most of us, alcohol is just another choice of mood altering product that we enjoy responsibly.
So with NORML CON in Portland – the American city with the most craft breweries per capita – it only makes sense that one of the micro-breweries would pitch their hempseed-based ales to our attendees:
During the NORML conference Rogue Ales will be hosting tours to Buckman Village Brewery and Rogue’s Distillery.
The party starts on the bus at the conference and samples will be provided!
Space is limited so be sure to get in on the party, for exclusive samples of Buckman Village’s Hemp Ale – code named John’s #2 IPA.

I am the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog. I'm married, live in Portland, Oregon, and I am a registered medical marijuana caregiver in this state. I've worked days as an IT geek and nights as a professional musician. Previously, I have been the host of my own political talk radio show on satellite radio. I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" for my work producing Oregon NORML's TV show, "A Cannabis Community Forum", and for helping to institute Portland's wildly successful medical marijuana cardholders meetings, where we help sick and disabled Oregonians acquire cannabis plant starts, learn gardening, and understand the medical marijuana law. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to be our daily voice.
