A thank you from NORML

From The National Organization to Reform Marijuana Laws:

Without a doubt, the landslide winner on Election Day was marijuana law reform. We legalized an adult's right to consume marijuana in Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, and California. We legalized patients' access in Arkansas and North Dakota, and we expanded their access in Florida and Montana. With resounding victories in red and blue states, it is clear that marijuana legalization enjoys mainstream, bipartisan support among the American people.

Over 20 percent of Americans reside in jurisdictions where the adult use of marijuana is legal. Well over half of US states now authorize the medical use of marijuana. But we must sustain these gains.

Now is the time to double down in our reform efforts. Not only do we need to ensure that our hard fought victories are upheld, but we also must push forward to expand the marijuana revolution elsewhere.

Our work is far from done and NORML plans on fighting harder than ever before to ensure that responsible marijuana consumers like you no longer face prosecution, stigmatization, or discrimination. But we need your help to ensure 2017 is our most successful year yet.
Your donation helps us mobilize the grassroots in cities and states to apply pressure to elected officials, to buy advertising to increase citizens awareness of the benefits of legalization, to provide legal support to assure that these new laws are implemented in a timely and proper manner, to host educational events across the country to defeat the reefer madness rhetoric being spread by the likes of Project SAM and Kevin Sabet, and to have a potent presence in Washington, DC to lobby Congress and the incoming administration to not upend these successful state programs and to amend federal law to comport with marijuana's rapidly changing legal and cultural status.
Can we count on you to stand with us?

Thanks to NORML and other organizations nationwide that got recreational or medical marijuana legalized in their states. As the newsletter states we had a lot of problems with the prohibitionists but we overcame them and we prevailed. We prevailed over a mountain of lies and scare tactics that in the light of reason are a spit in the face in the intelligence of the American voter and the American voters saw through their lies and deceptions. The only place that failed to get recreational marijuana passed was Arizona. Perhaps next time NORML can concentrate on getting recreational marijuana legalized there as well. No one should be arrested,prosecuted and incarcerated for marijuana. No one.

Marijuana prohibitionists turn up the heat

Californians for Responsible Marijuana Reform:

Adelson, Schauer, Sabet...
Help us counter these big donors with your own contribution. Any amount helps.
These three are fiercely fighting against marijuana legalization and have personally given millions or have worked to raise millions against our efforts across the country.
Sheldon Adelson is the 12th richest person in America, Julie Schauer is a Pennsylvanian millionaire, and Kevin Sabet is the cofounder of the biggest anti-marijuana organization in the country. They are standing between us and victory on November 8th..
In 2010, legalization efforts failed in California because big opposition donors funded a flurry of negative and false advertisements right before the election. This year you can be sure they are mobilizing to do the same. We have to be prepared.
Do not let Prop 64 fail. Please contribute (or contribute again) to help support our outreach efforts in these final weeks.

Prohibitionists spread lies about Prop. 64

From Californians for Responsible Marijuana Reform:

"You just have to put a little bit of doubt in people's minds, and they are movable."

That is what Kevin Sabet, one of the fiercest opponents of marijuana legalization in California and the country, said recently about his strategy to try and stop Prop 64 from passing this November.

Please help us counter their false advertisements by donating. Any amount you can send is tremendously beneficial to our campaign efforts.

If just 500 of our donors contribute $10 apiece, we will have enough for some major publicity or outreach. We hope you can help out.

So far, opposition groups led by Sabet have already succeeded in raising millions of dollars against us by spreading a variety of false claims about Prop 64 in order to scare voters. These claims that Prop 64 would allow companies to market cannabis to children or that the industry is trying to hook kids on pot lollipops and weed candy are downright lies and are tactics that should be beneath any campaign.

We must get the word out to stop the misinformation against us. Kevin Sabat and his millionaire friends will not cease until they torpedo all chances for marijuana reform.
Click here to give in support of Prop 64. We need to reach as many people as possible in the next few weeks before it is too late!
Thank you for your support.

First of all if you are a California resident here is the truth about Prop. 64 and children. Who are these prohibitionists you may ask? I'll be more than happy to answer your question. Here are great examples of prohibitionists. Whom they truly are.
