We’re proud to announce the formation of a new chapter, Southern California NORML, which will serve the San Diego / Riverside / Imperial county area of the state. Contact Craig Beresh, executive director, at craigberesh@sbcglobal.net to get involved.
I’m excited because San Diego is ground-zero in the backlash against medical marijuana in America. A strong chapter there can help us to fight back against the reefer madness that’s leading to the persecution of Eugene Davidovich and Donna Lambert, among others, in Operation Green RX, where San Diego County officers are lying to doctors to get legit recommendations in order to entrap legit dispensary owners.
Many people think that California is pot paradise and compared to most areas of the world, it is. But it is a huge state where outside of the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas, the acceptance of marijuana is sometimes less than outside the state. We need active NORML Chapters all around California and even in places where we have chapters the population is so large that more chapters could be formed.
In case you’ve not been tracking it, the following new NORML Chapters have been recognized in 2009:
- Kansas City NORML (Missouri)
- Upper Peninsula NORML (Michigan)
- High Sierra NORML (Paradise California)
- Columbia College NORML (Chicago Illinois)
- Mile High NORML (Denver Colorado)
- San Luis Obispo NORML (California)
