Orange County NORML’s Kandice Hawes featured in OC Register

(OC Register) “Of course I smoke pot,” [Kandice Hawes] says in a loud voice that expresses both surprise and amusement at the question.

But Hawes, 28, is a generation younger. She came of age after 1996, when California voters approved Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use Act allowing medical marijuana.

Few if anyone of my generation would admit to such things in private, let alone in the middle of a cafe.

But Hawes isn’t just any twentysomething. She is founder and president of the Orange County chapter for a 40-year old organization called NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.

With cities closing medical marijuana dispensaries, and debate still raging like reefer madness, why would anyone take such a public stand?

Well, I guess you’ll have to click over to the Orange County Register to find out why.  Congratulations to Kandice for making a splash in the OC!

I am the producer of The NORML Network, the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog, and NORML's Outreach Coordinator. I'm married, live in Portland, Oregon, and I am a registered medical marijuana caregiver in this state. I've worked days as an IT geek and nights as a professional musician. Previously, I have been the host of my own political talk radio show on satellite radio. I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" and I travel across the country to educate people on marijuana reform. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to give voice to the Marijuana Nation and to speak for those who can't speak up.
