The Napa County Green Party will sponsor a forum on cannabis on Jan. 16 at the Napa County Library, 580 Coombs St.

The forum will be moderated by former congressional candidate-turned-cannabis activist James Hinton. Hinton, recently appointed to the Napa County Green Party County Council, challenged Rep. Mike Thompson in 2014 for his seat.

Panelists will include Paul Armentano, deputy director of NORML; Maurce Solis, local dispensary operator; and others to be announced. Green Congressional candidate Jason Kisheneff will also discuss current and pending federal cannabis legislation.

Topics will include future legislation for issues such as driving, cultivation, dispensary operation, and safe access. General information about marijuana use itself will also be provided for new patients and recreational users.

There will be a meet-and-greet with Kishineff from 6 to 6:15 p.m. and other informational tables, with the forum from 6:15- 8 p.m.
