Harborside Health Center: Historic Debate on Drugs at Oxford Union in Great Britain
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
U.S. National Cannabis Leader, Educator & Advocate Steve DeAngelo of Harborside
Invited to Debate in UK
OAKLAND, CA--(Marketwired - February 14, 2017) - In a forward thinking move,
Oxford has invited American cannabis leader, advocate and educator Steve
DeAngelo, to participate in a debate on drugs. During the Oxford Union debate
sessions, DeAngelo will appear Thursday, February 16(th) at 8 PM at The Oxford
Union, Frewin Court, Oxford, OX1. Tel. +44 (0) 1865-2453.
DeAngelo is Chief Executive Officer of world renowned Harborside, a medical
cannabis dispensary in Oakland, California and the largest in the United States
with over 200,000 patients. Harborside is widely regarded as the gold standard
of medical cannabis practices in the U.S. DeAngelo and his team co-founded the
first cannabis laboratory -- Steep Hill, crafted the first municipal cannabis
tax, developed the first senior and veteran outreach programs, and created the
first angel investment network -- The ArcView Group -- which focuses exclusively
on legal cannabis opportunities. Harborside offers a wide selection of
complimentary health services to their members that include nutrition, yoga
classes, acupuncture, chiropractic and other wellness services.
More than 25 countries around the globe are engaged in a lively debate as to
whether taking cannabis is a morally justifiable and life-enhancing activity.
The stigmas around cannabis use continue to fade worldwide. Now that
compassionate laws exist in 29 U.S. states and the District of Columbia -- 8 of
which now fully legal for adults over 21 -- it is apparent that the conversation
has evolved.
About Oxford Union Debates:
The Society's formal Thursday evening debates have taken place since 1823 and
remain the jewel in the crown of the Oxford Union. The debates were founded on
an ideal of the Freedom of Speech, when religion and politics were off-limits
within the University. Harold Macmillan called these debates "the last bastion
of free speech in the Western world". The forms of debate are similar to that in
the House of Commons, with all remarks addressed to the President or Chairman,
and Members referred to as "honorable", standing on each side of the house to
oppose each other. The dispatch boxes used in the debates were originally from
the Commons and were a gift from Winston Churchill.
About Harborside:
Operating since 2007 and celebrating its 10(th) Anniversary in 2016, Harborside
(formerly, Harborside Health Center) is the largest, nonprofit medical cannabis
dispensary and wellness center in the United States. Harborside has over
200,000 registered patient-members and continues to set an example of
responsible cannabis distribution in Oakland and San Jose, California. Co-
founded by longtime activist and entrepreneur, Steve DeAngelo, Harborside is now
overseen by FLRish Retail Management & Security Services LLC.
Over the past decade, DeAngelo and his team have introduced many industry
original practices. Harborside was first in the nation to offer a tax system for
the city of Oakland, offered lab-tested, CBD-rich medicine; first in the country
to support education for seniors, veterans and families with severely ill
children; and the first to treat children with severe epilepsy. Harborside is
one of the prime advocates of diversity, compliance, sustainability and social
justice in the industry. As California moves to enact Proposition 64 Harborside
is devoted to ensuring that their core values are integrated into adult-use
legalization, and to remain true to their mission: "To help build a world that
lives by the values cannabis teaches us."
