Pass the Stash: Find the Marijuana Unicorns!
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008 at 12:43 pm | By: Radical Russ
Drug Czar John Walters said that finding a first-time non-violent offender in prison for marijuana possession is like finding “a unicorn”.
So, are you one of those unicorns? Do you know someone who is a unicorn?
If so, you could win big with NORML. We’re looking to tell John Walters the story of Marijuana Unicorns, those people who have had to serve time for a first-time, non-violent marijuana possession offense. If you or someone you know served a court-ordered sentence in a jail or prison for such an offense, let us know!
Send an email with the Subject: Marijuana Unicorns to stash@norml.org. Tell us where and when you got busted and where, when, and how long you had to serve time.
Or, you can use postal mail to send in your entry. Just send your entry to:
Marijuana Unicorns
4000 SE 82nd Ave
Suite 1000/66
Portland, OR 97266
You can remain anonymous if you like. If we use your story on the Stash, you’ll win all sorts of free swag from NORML, like stickers, posters, and pins, plus a copy of the DVD stoner-comedy “Totally Baked”, autographed by AC/DC’s lead singer, Brian Johnson. You’ll also win a free steak dinner, courtesy of Drug Czar John Walters himself, who promised he’d buy a steak for anyone who could find a Marijuana Unicorn (steak dinner offer subject to the Drug Czar keeping his word, so don’t hold your breath.)
Contest runs until 5pm, Friday, October 10th, coinciding with what will be the 20,000,000th marijuana arrest in America. Winners will be announced 10/13-17 in advance of the NORML Conference in Berkeley, CA.

Well I saw this article posted about a week ago and I commented on it saying In all fairness he does say that finding a “first time, non violent pot offender in jail is like finding a unicorn” and I said that’s probably true. Later on that day I noticed that the word unicorn was linked going to the marijuana unicorns article. Perhaps its just coincidence.
Im due to spend some time in Tennessee for a minor marijuana possession ticket i got in june. Hmmm that steak dinner sounds good to me right now
Are you the creator of the Marijuana Unicorn? One of my readers just forwarded it to me and I assumed he/she had created it.
Please let me know.
Ha, I love that you guys took my idea and ran with it, unless I’m just baked and that link was there before my comment was posted.
