Last year they fell short of that goal, they missed out on like $500,000. Seems like cooperation between ORG’s could have made the most of that matching deal??

Maybe someone’s time is more valuable than their money. Some clean cut billionaire fith nothing to lose. I am afraid we will miss this oppertunity for change. We need to make some noise as a comunity. Ask me about the Amtrac idea :)

Just not NORML. NORML is supported by lots of little dollar donations from the people, not one big dollar donation from a person. We are truly THE grassroots marijuana law reform organization. And that’s OK – MPP, DPA, ASA, etc. do wonderful work and compliment our mission nicely, which is to represent, educate, lobby, and generally be the voice of marijuana smokers nationwide.

Not that we wouldn’t turn down a couple million from a generous benefactor.

This guy rocks, and hopefully he continues his efforts.

I think we should do large scale good deeds! When the press shows up, we pull off our jackets to reveal 100′s of NORML shirts, then we protest and hand out info. What do you other stashers think?
Got any ideas? We need to start talking about real shit. Let’s not waste this oppertunity it might be 30 more years!

I decided to discuss my pro-legalization opinions with fellow students and instructors in my class. This is a big step for me b/c I am the type of person that won’t open my mouth unless I have all the facts and can reasonably sell my argument.

I used an example of the misapplication of law by depicting an 80 year old woman relieving her pain caused by glaucoma through the use of marijuana. I asked if that woman is a criminal, and if she deserved to be treated as such.

IMMEDIATELY, I was cut off by several people who claimed that I wasn’t using a fair example because marijuana has “medicinal benefits” and that there was nothing wrong with that situation. These people understood the benefits of cannabis, despite being ignorant to the fact she was still breaking the law and could face federal prison time(no matter how unlikely).

Once I explained to them that the federal government refuses to allow scientists to even research the plant, a sense of disgust soon filled the room.

I think this is how we can win this battle. Educate your peers as to the bull shit they have been fed, then hand them the towel of truth to cleanse themselves.
