Texas NORML is proud to announce our 2016 Texas Veterans Conference! We will feature a wide variety of educators, advocates, medical professionals and veteran activists. This FREE conference will focus completely on medical marijuana and the mission to gain safe access to cannabis for patients. Veterans and patients are pushing the front line of reform in medical marijuana laws in Texas. Many people who are not Veterans also experience PTS, TBI, chronic pain and other health issues. Therefore, we welcome ALL patients to attend our Veteran Conference.

Plus, Dean and Alexis Bortell of Team Alexis will be our keynote speakers for this event. Dean is a disabled veteran whose family are medical marijuana refugees in Colorado. Dean moved his family to Colorado so his daughter, Alexis, could legally access medication that saved her life.
