Justice for All
Marijuana reform has had many successes over the last 35 years, most notably widespread decriminalization of possession of small amounts of marijuana in the 1970s and the limited recognition of the medical use of cannabis during the last ten years.

Cannabis: The Herb of the 21st Century

Why NORML?
I have had a long relationship with NORML. My first close work with NORML staff involved getting signatures for an attempt to place the Washington D.C.

I worked on the staff for eight years during the …READ MOREtags: 13 « add a comment
