The Aspen Chamber Resort Association will host a forum on the legalization of marijuana from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at Aspen Square Hotel.

The forum comes in advance of Jan. 1, when it will be legal in Colorado to own and smoke pot for recreational purposes.

Jordan Lewis, founder and owner of Aspen's Silverpeak Apothecary, will lead a discussion about the potential impacts that pot legalization will have on the community.

The event is open to ACRA members. Space is limited, so RSVP is required. Email eklanderud@aspenchamber.org to confirm your space.
