Whether it’s cancer, chronic pain, seizures, or glaucoma, most of us have someone in our lives who could benefit from the legalization of marijuana.

Sun., June 29, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., 2014

Rebecca McBane is the arts and culture/food editor for New Times Broward-Palm Beach. She began her journalism career at the Sun Sentinel‘s community newspaper offshoot, Forum Publishing Group, where she worked as the editorial assistant and wrote monthly features as well as the weekly library and literature column, “Shelf Life.” After a brief stint bumming around London’s East End (for no conceivable reason, according to her poor mother), she returned to real life and South Florida to start at New Times as the editorial assistant in 2009. A native Floridian, Rebecca avoids the sun and beach at all costs and can most often be found in a well-air-conditioned space with the glow of a laptop on her face.
