"Annual federal marijuana spending is at least $3.67 billion [per year,] yet little evidence indicates this spending accomplishes the government's stated goal of reducing marijuana use," concludes the report. Of this total cost, the federal government spends $1.43 billion enforcing marijuana prohibition, $1.11 billion for marijuana use prevention (which includes funding for anti-drug media campaigns and school-based drug testing programs), $0.37 billion for marijuana treatment (which includes federal subsidies ____________________________________________ Domestic Pot Production Up, Cannabis Not Linked To Violence, Federal Report Says Washington, DC: Domestic cultivation of cannabis is rising and is responsible for the majority of marijuana available in the United States, according to the National Drug Intelligence Center's (NDIC) latest "National Drug Threat Assessment" report. The report states that domestic pot production levels are increasing and now range from 6,000 to 19,000 metric tons annually. Accordingly, the report notes that 98 percent of state and local law enforcement agencies describe the availability of marijuana in their area as "high or moderate." Overall, the report estimates that anywhere from 12,000 to 25,000 metric tons of marijuana is available in the United States, up from previous estimates of 10,000 to 24,000 metric tons. Mexico remains the largest producer of cannabis imported into the US, followed by Canada, Colombia, and Jamaica, authors note.

A nonprofit public-interest advocacy group, NORML represents the interests of the tens of millions of Americans who smoke marijuana responsibly. During the 1970s, NORML led the successful efforts to decriminalize minor marijuana offenses in 11 states and significantly lower marijuana penalties in all others. Today NORML continues to lead the fight to reform state and federal marijuana laws, whether by voter initiative or through the elected legislatures. NORML serves as an informational resource to the  HYPERLINK "http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=5481" national media on marijuana-related stories, providing a perspective to offset the  HYPERLINK "http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=5516" anti-marijuana propaganda from the government; lobbies state and federal legislators in support of reform legislation; publishes a regular  HYPERLINK "http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=3419" newsletter; hosts, along with the NORML Foundation, an informative web site and an  HYPERLINK "http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=3427" annual conference; and serves as the umbrella group for a national network of citizen-activists committed to ending marijuana prohibition and legalizing marijuana. Their sister organization,  HYPERLINK "http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=3380" the NORML Foundation sponsors public advertising campaigns to better educate the public about marijuana and alternatives to current marijuana policy; provides legal assistance and support to victims of the current laws; and undertakes relevant research.

Check em out! NORML's mission is to move public opinion sufficiently to achieve the repeal of marijuana prohibition so that the responsible use of cannabis by adults is no longer subject to penalty. When marijuana is enjoyed responsibly, subjecting users to harsh criminal and civil penalties provides no public benefit and causes terrible injustices. For reasons of public safety, public health, economics and justice, the prohibition laws should be repealed to the extent that they criminalize responsible marijuana use. NORML supports the right of adults to use marijuana responsibly, whether for  HYPERLINK "http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=3376" medicalor HYPERLINK "http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=3375" personal purposes. All penalties, both civil and criminal, should be eliminated for responsible use. NORML also supports the legalization of  HYPERLINK "http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=3377" hemp(non-psychoactive marijuana) for industrial use.

"Sound regulation of medical marijuana requires government oversight based on public health, a rigorous research agenda, a private physician-patient relationship, and respect for patients who seek relief from suffering," the commentary states. "A first step would be to reclassify marijuana as a schedule II drug because, like the schedule II substances cocaine and morphine, it fits well within the statutory definition of having ... 'a currently accepted medical use with severe restrictions.' This would allow for medical prescriptions subject to strict regulation without unduly interfering with federal drug policy. ... The public can make a distinction between a drug of abuse and a drug prescribed by a physician for a compassionate purpose." The commentary further argues that the federal classification of cannabis as a Schedule I prohibited drug needlessly obstructs investigators from conducting clinical research of the plant's medical properties. "To objectively answer the questions about the safety and efficacy of marijuana, the federal government must be open to the results of scientific research," it states. "Yet research has been sporadic, with the federal government posing multiple hurdles to scientists." The commentary concludes: "The data suggest that marijuana may offer respite for some patients - a position supported by patient experiences and physician opinions. The 'drug war' metaphor does not justify an ideology that removes hope from patients when they are most vulnerable and in need." The American Medical Association (AMA) has  HYPERLINK "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\01657991-3A88-4E75-9AD8-E96895702283\index.cfm?Group_ID=3390" \l "disAMA" previously called for "adequate and well-controlled studies of smoked marijuana [to] be conducted in patients who have serious conditions for which preclinical, anecdotal, or controlled evidence suggests [that cannabis holds] possible efficacy," but has yet to take a formal position in favor of the plant's rescheduling.

NIDA Rejects MAPS/Cal NORML Cannabis Vaporizer Study Washington, DC: A scientific protocol to investigate the types of emissions produced by  HYPERLINK "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\01657991-3A88-4E75-9AD8-E96895702283\index.cfm?Group_ID=6636" \l "vapor" cannabis vaporization has been rejected by the  HYPERLINK "http://www.nida.nih.gov/" \t "_blank" National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) after an 18 month regulatory delay. The protocol, submitted to NIDA in February 2004 on behalf of Chemic Laboratories in Massachusetts, sought to purchase 10 grams of marijuana from the agency so that researchers could conduct a chemical assessment of the cannabis vaporization process.  HYPERLINK "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\01657991-3A88-4E75-9AD8-E96895702283\index.cfm?Group_ID=5641" Previous studies have shown vaporization to suppress respiratory toxins by heating cannabis to a temperature where cannabinoid vapors form (typically around 180-190 degrees Celsius), but below the point of combustion where noxious smoke and associated toxins (i.e., carcinogenic hydrocarbons) are produced (near 230 degrees Celsius). A  HYPERLINK "http://www.nap.edu/readingroom/books/marimed/" \t "_blank" 1999 review of marijuana and health by the National Academy of Sciences  HYPERLINK "http://www.iom.edu/" \t "_blank" Institute of Medicine strongly urged the government to conduct research into non-smoked, rapid-onset delivery systems for cannabis.

Chemic Laboratories says that it will challenge NIDA's decision. "Once again, the government has displayed its bad faith by creating a Catch-22 for medical marijuana," said  HYPERLINK "http://www.canorml.org" \t "_blank" California NORML coordinator  HYPERLINK "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\01657991-3A88-4E75-9AD8-E96895702283\index.cfm?Group_ID=4490" Dale Gieringer, who co-sponsored the protocol in conjunction with the  HYPERLINK "http://www.maps.org/" \t "_blank" Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). "First, it claimed that marijuana couldn't be used as a medicine because there weren't sufficient FDA studies of safety and efficacy. Then it refused to provide marijuana to conduct the studies. Next it contended that marijuana was inappropriate for FDA approval in the first place due to the dangers of smoking. Now it is blocking the very studies called for by the Institute of Medicine to develop non-smoked alternatives to smoking." Last week, Gieringer and MAPS Executive Director  HYPERLINK "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\01657991-3A88-4E75-9AD8-E96895702283\index.cfm?Group_ID=4492" Rick Doblin  HYPERLINK "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\01657991-3A88-4E75-9AD8-E96895702283\index.cfm?Group_ID=6652" testified before the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) that a private, independent source of cannabis is necessary in order to conduct the clinical trials required to establish cannabis as an FDA-approved drug. Currently, all federally approved research on cannabis must utilize cannabis supplied by and grown under contract with NIDA.

Medical Cannabis Laws Have No Negative Impact On Teen Use, Study Says Washington, DC: The passage of state laws authorizing the use of medical cannabis has not led to an increase in the drug's recreational use among young people, according to a report issued this week by the  HYPERLINK "http://www.mpp.org" \t "_blank" Marijuana Policy Project (MPP). State and federal survey data reveals, "No state with a medical marijuana law has experienced an overall increase in youth marijuana use since the law's enactment," authors write. "All have reported overall decreases - in some cases exceeding 50 percent in specific age groups - strongly suggesting that the enactment of state medical marijuana laws does not increase teen marijuana use." The report further found that states with medical cannabis laws have experienced greater declines in teen marijuana use than the national average.

Firing Medical Pot Users Not A Violation Of State Law, California Appeals Court Rules Sacramento, CA: California employees who use cannabis medicinally in compliance with state law may be fired for failing a workplace drug test, the Third District Court of Appeals ruled this week. The ruling upheld a Superior Court decision to dismiss a suit brought by a medical cannabis patient who was fired by his employer after testing positive for THC on a workplace drug screen. The patient brought suit, arguing that his dismissal was discriminatory on the basis of disability and violated the state's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). "Because the possession and use of marijuana is illegal under federal law, a court has no legitimate authority to require an employer to accommodate an employee's use of marijuana, even if it is for medicinal purposes and thus legal under California law," Presiding Justice Arthur Scotland determined. "If FEHA is to be extended to compel such an accommodation, that is a public policy decision that must be made by the Legislature, or by the electorate via initiative, and not by the courts." The case is Ross v. Ragingwire Telecommunications, Inc. 05 S.O.S. 4364. For more information, please contact  HYPERLINK "mailto:keith@norml.org" Keith Stroup, NORML Legal Counsel, at (202) 483-5500. Researchers Propose Cannabis Impairment Guidelines Hurth, Germany: US laws prohibiting motorists from operating a vehicle with any detectable level of cannabis or cannabis metabolites in the driver's blood or urine improperly classify occasional marijuana smokers as impaired, concludes a report issued this month by an international panel of experts. "Many recent per se laws for DUID [driving under the influence of drugs] prescribe a zero tolerance for specific drugs, classifying drivers as being under the influence of a drug if any amount of a listed drug or its metabolites can be detected in blood or other body fluids. ... This strict approach facilitates law enforcement, but is not based on science and does not only target impaired drivers," authors state. "Per se laws specifying non-zero limits may offer a fairer and possibly more effective alternative ... than zero tolerance laws, provided these limits are, as for alcohol, derived rationally from scientific evidence." To date, ten states have enacted so-called  HYPERLINK "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\0AE9EB89-0704-4A4E-813D-D6ACE1455A23\index.cfm?Group_ID=6492" \l "defined" "zero tolerance" drugged driving laws, making it a criminal offense for an individual to operate a motor vehicle with any detectable level of a Schedule I substance present in his or her bodily fluids. In six of these states, the law also prohibits motorists from operating a motor vehicle if they have trace levels of non-psychoactive marijuana metabolites in their system. Three states - Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Virginia - have enacted  HYPERLINK "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\0AE9EB89-0704-4A4E-813D-D6ACE1455A23\index.cfm?Group_ID=6492" \l "defined" per se drugged driving standards, prohibiting individuals from operating a motor vehicle if they have levels of Schedule I drugs present in their body above a specific threshold. All other states employ an  HYPERLINK "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\0AE9EB89-0704-4A4E-813D-D6ACE1455A23\index.cfm?Group_ID=6492" \l "defined" "effect based" standard for DUID, which penalizes motorists only if their observed impairment may be linked to the recent ingestion of a controlled substance. Authors estimate that a per se threshold for THC in the driver's blood of approximately 5 ng/ml (equal to10 ng/ml as measured in blood serum) may be reasonable for determining relative psychomotor impairment in non-habitual users. "The most meaningful recent culpability studies indicate that drivers with THC concentrations in whole blood of less than 5 ng/ml have a crash risk no higher than that of drug-free users," authors write. "The crash risk apparently begins to exceed that of sober drivers as THC concentrations in whole blood reach 510 ng/ml." THC blood levels typically fall below 5 ng/ml in recreational cannabis users within 60 to 90 minutes after inhalation. Authors add that a driver who tests positive for THC in the blood at levels of 5 ng/ml may suffer from psychomotor impairment comparable to those drivers who have blood alcohol levels of .08%. However, previous studies of on-road accidents indicate that cannabis' impact on actual driving performance appears to be  HYPERLINK "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\0AE9EB89-0704-4A4E-813D-D6ACE1455A23\index.cfm?Group_ID=6496" more limited than alcohol because subjects under its influence are generally aware of their impairment and compensate accordingly, such as by slowing down and by focusing their attention when they know a response will be required. This behavior is largely the opposite of that exhibited by drivers under the influence of alcohol, who tend to drive in a more risky manner proportional to their intoxication. Publication of the panel's report comes less than a month after Congress  HYPERLINK "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\0AE9EB89-0704-4A4E-813D-D6ACE1455A23\index.cfm?Group_ID=6642" approved legislation authorizing the Department of Transportation and the National Institutes of Health to "submit to Congress a report on the problem of drug-impaired driving," including "an assessment of methodologies and technologies for measuring driver impairment resulting from use of the most common illicit drugs."

The hearings, which began in August and were scheduled to resume this coming Monday, will now take place the week of December 12, 2005. Lawyers for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), who were to begin presenting their expert witnesses next week, requested the postponement. Witnesses for the respondents - the  HYPERLINK "http://www.maps.org" \t "_blank" Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) and Lyle Craker, director of the UMass-Amherst Medicinal Plant Program - previously testified in August. At issue in the case is whether the DEA properly rejected an  HYPERLINK "http://www.maps.org/mmj/mmjfacility.html" \t "_blank" application from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst to manufacture cannabis for FDA-approved research. The DEA waited more than three years before officially  HYPERLINK "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\284D020D-1000-4FCE-BA54-3833A8B347D3\index.cfm?Group_ID=6374" denying the University's request, stating that the establishment of such a facility "would not be consistent with the public interest." Respondents in the case are challenging the DEA's denial, arguing that a private production facility is in the public interest (as defined by the US Controlled Substances Act) because it would encourage competition in the marketplace and promote technological and scientific advancement in the field of medicine. "This lawsuit is really our last hope for trying to take marijuana - whether it's smoked or vaporized - through the FDA regulatory system," MAPS Executive Director Rick Doblin said. Earlier this week, Massachusetts Reps. John Olver (D) and Michael Capuano (D), along with several additional members of Congress, sent a  HYPERLINK "http://www.maps.org/mmj/congressletter.html" formal letter to DEA Administrator Karen Tandy urging the agency to allow for a private production facility for research-grade cannabis. "At present, the National Institute on Drug Abuse has an unjustifiable monopoly on the production of marijuana for legitimate medical and research purposes in the United States," the letter said.

Eighty-six hospitalized patients with SCD participated in the survey. Thirty-six percent of respondents reported having used cannabis in the past 12 months to relieve symptoms associated with the disease. Of these, 52 percent said that they had used cannabis to reduce pain, and 39 percent reported that it mitigated their anxiety and feelings of depression. The majority of patients (58 percent) expressed their willingness to participate in clinical trials of cannabis as a medicine. "We conclude that research in the use of cannabinoids for pain relief in SCD would be both important and acceptable to adult patients," authors concluded. Sickle cell disease is a chronic condition that targets the body's red blood cells and is characterized by episodic pain in the joints, fever, leg ulcers, and jaundice, among other symptoms. In the United States, SCD affects about one in 650 African Americans and about half as many Latin Americans.

Cannabinoids May Offer Role In Treating Inflammatory Diseases, Study Says Tokyo, Japan: Cannabinoids may play a role in the treatment of various inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and allergic asthma, according to a review published in the September issue of the Journal of Neuroimmunology. A research team from Tokyo's National Institute of Neuroscience, Department of Immunology, wrote, "Current studies suggest that cannabinoids may prove to be useful alternatives ... in treating a variety of human inflammatory disorders" because they modulate both the function and secretion of cytokines (regulatory proteins that are released by immune cells and are responsible for an immune response). In particular, authors note that cannabinoids may play a role in the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and allergic asthma.

Lundberg, MD Medscape General Medicine. 2005;7(3) 2005 Medscape Posted 08/26/2005 For many decades, marijuana has been the American poster child for how not to deal with a troubling psychoactive substance. By US law, a Schedule I substance is one with no recognized medical use and great potential harm to the user. Marijuana has been classified as a Schedule I substance for many decades,[1] along with heroin and LSD. Judging from its easy availability, low cost, and widespread current use, such a restrictive classification has failed to retard its use. In fact, enforcement of unrealistic laws regarding marijuana has probably caused more harm than marijuana itself. Although far from harmless by toxicologic or pathologic criteria, marijuana is much less dangerous than many other substances in less restrictive schedules, like morphine and cocaine, not to mention the unscheduled legal mass killers tobacco and alcohol. Of course, marijuana does have proven medical usefulness for some conditions.[2] People obey laws they believe to be just; they do not obey the marijuana laws because they know they are unjust, even absurd. Kids quickly see through lies. Many kids may discount the proper scare tactics about really dangerous drugs, like heroin and PCP, because the dangers of marijuana have been so overstated. Ninety percent of Americans believe that the federal government should not prosecute medical users of marijuana, despite the newest "federal foolishness" of the recent Supreme Court decision against it.[3] This commonsense position of the people should give pause to any overzealous prosecutors who might have real trouble finding a jury that would convict a seriously ill user of medical marijuana. The court decision now provides the Congress and the Drug Enforcement Administration with a sterling opportunity to join with the population they are supposed to be serving and with the good science of the 10 states that have authorized the controlled use of medical marijuana and reclassify it at some level other than Schedule I.

The Department of Health's annual Smoking, drinking and drug use among young people in England in 2004 report shows that the number of young people who have taken cannabis in the past year has fallen to 11 per cent, down from 13 per cent for the previous three years. A spokeswoman for drugs education charity DrugScope said the drop may be partly because of publicity caused by reclassifying cannabis as a class C rather than a class B drug. Drug use has been fairly stable among this age group for a couple of years, she said. It is the first drop that we have seen, which is really positive. Overall drug use was also down slightly, from 21 per cent in 2003 to 18 per cent in 2004. The number of young people who were regular smokers remained stable at about nine per cent, and the number who had drunk alcohol in the past week fell from 25 per cent to 23 per cent. The researchers received responses from 9,715 young people, from 313 schools across England. -end- Hey everyone! Earlier this week we spent some time at the new UC Merced campus. We tabled on their first day of school and got a whole bunch of students to sign up. Even the administration got some smoke the vote lighters, they were way supportive. After tabling we had a small info meeting where interested students came to hear about NORML. We told them about the national conference and UCSB's joint rolling contest and all the cool things you can do with NORML. Two students were very interested right off the bat. One had actually told his friends the weekend before that he was going to join NORML when he got to college. Now there is an actual chapter for him to help get started! Later that night we had a party at our hotel where we got to actually chill with the students. They were mostly new smokers, but some had experience. Today there is a mandatory meeting at their school for students starting a club. Several students are going to attend from NORML and start the chapter from there!!! Send them your love and support!!! Let them know what its like to be a part of this awesome movement. Any helpful links you could send them would be great too.

Narrow-focus groups are organizations that appear promising at first, but drop in membership over time, Cosimi explained. Once the founder of the organization leaves, the group fizzles. "We look for growth in an organization," Cosimi said. "We look for growth in membership, programming, planned speakers." Cosimi said the best example of a rags-to-riches student organization was the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. Although NORML began as a small organization with little funding, in about a year it became one of the largest student organizations on campus. "They really branched out," Cosimi said. "Did a lot of co-programming, outside funding and kept detailed records of how many members attended each meeting."

A few brief thoughts: 1) Wagner I presume is a private college? If so, regardless of their mindless reasoning, they may be able to effectively ban a college NORML chapter there. Wagner is not the first private school to ban activities it does not like...and if past is prologue, they can legally do so. 2) If Wagner is a publicly-funded school, banning NORML is hard to accomplish 3) Regardless of #1 and #2 you and other like-minded students should rebut their concerns, in writing, to not make their intellectually and morally offensive comparison of trying to peacibly organize to change cannabis laws, which clearly is a contentious POLITICAL issue in America, to that of the brutal, violent, selfish and individual act of rape. The only possible way that your administration's stated concerns makes sense is if they equate cannabis use with rape. Thankfully a tiny minority of citizens have that kind of skewered/warped sense of morality. However, I've been there and done that...and those folks really do exist in America today. However, it is so disppointing and frustrating when they are in positions of power. Please contact NORML's chapter coordinator Kris Krane for help trying to get a NORML chapter established at Wagner.

As noted for many years in mj law reform, when the topic of mj is couched in economic terms, most of the Reefer Madness pathology should readily fall away and some serious policy-making can occur. Regards, -Allen NORML "If you could collect on every cigarette (joint) and ignore the transportation, marketing, and advertising costs, this comes to over $2 billion on Canadian sales and substantially more from an export tax, and you forego the costs of enforcement and deploy your policing assets elsewhere." Should Governments Legalize and Tax Marijuana? by Mike Moffatt (from About.com - Economics)  HYPERLINK "http://economics.about.com/od/incometaxestaxcuts/a/marijuana.htm" http://economics.about.com/od/incometaxestaxcuts/a/marijuana.htm Examining a Recent Study on Legalization The war on drugs is an expensive battle, as a great deal of resources go into catching those who buy or sell illegal drugs on the black market, prosecuting them in court, and housing them in jail. These costs seem particularly exorbitant when dealing with the drug marijuana, as it is widely used, and is likely no more harmful than currently legal drugs such as tobacco and alcohol. There's another cost to the war on drugs, however, which is the revenue lost by governments who cannot collect taxes on illegal drugs. In a recent study for the Fraser Institute, Economist Stephen T. Easton attempted to calculate how much tax revenue the Canadian government could gain by legalizing marijuana. The study estimates that the average price of 0.5 grams (a unit) of marijuana sold for $8.60 on the street, while its cost of production was only $1.70. In a free market, a $6.90 profit for a unit of marijuana would not last for long. Entrepreneurs noticing the great profits to be made in the marijuana market would start their own grow operations, increasing the supply of marijuana on the street, which would cause the street price of the drug to fall to a level much closer to the cost of production. Of course, this doesn't happen because the product is illegal; the prospect of jail time deters many entrepreneurs and the occasional drug bust ensures that the supply stays relatively low. We can consider much of this $6.90 per unit of marijuana profit a risk-premium for participating in the underground economy. Unfortunately, this risk premium is making a lot of criminals, many of whom have ties to organized crime, very wealthy. Stephen T. Easton argues that if marijuana was legalized, we could transfer these excess profits caused by the risk-premium from these grow operations to the government: If we substitute a tax on marijuana cigarettes equal to the difference between the local production cost and the street price people currently pay--that is, transfer the revenue from the current producers and marketers (many of whom work with organized crime) to the government, leaving all other marketing and transportation issues aside we would have revenue of (say) $7 per [unit]. If you could collect on every cigarette and ignore the transportation, marketing, and advertising costs, this comes to over $2 billion on Canadian sales and substantially more from an export tax, and you forego the costs of enforcement and deploy your policing assets elsewhere. One interesting thing to note from such a scheme is that the street price of marijuana stays exactly the same, so the quantity demanded should remain the same as the price is unchanged. However, it's quite likely that the demand for marijuana would change from legalization. We saw that there was a risk in selling marijuana, but since drug laws often target both the buyer and the seller, there is also a risk (albeit smaller) to the consumer interested in buying marijuana. Legalization would eliminate this risk, causing the demand to rise. This is a mixed bag from a public policy standpoint: Increased marijuana use can have ill effects on the health of the population but the increased sales bring in more revenue for the government. However, if legalized, governments can control how much marijuana is consumed by increasing or decreasing the taxes on the product. There is a limit to this, however, as setting taxes too high will cause marijuana growers to sell on the black market to avoid excessive taxation. When considering legalizing marijuana, there are many economic, health, and social issues we must analyze. One economic study will not be the basis of Canada's public policy decisions, but Easton's research does conclusively show that there are economic benefits in the legalization of marijuana. With governments scrambling to find new sources of revenue to pay for important social objectives such as health care and education expect to see the idea raised in Parliament sooner rather than later.

I am not saying there shouldnt be prisons, but there shouldnt be bars. Behind bars, a man never reforms. On Friday September 9th I became one of the roughly 25,000 people released from an Illinois prison this year600,000 nationallyafter completing only 10 weeks of a one year sentence due to extreme overcrowding. My crime was victimless, simple possession of a controlled substance, specifically a small amount of marijuana and MDMA. But as the rare upper-middle class educated White American in prison, I found myself in a truly alien, self-perpetuating world of crushing poverty and ignorance, violent dehumanization, institutionalized racism, and an entire sub-culture of recidivists, some of whom had done nine and ten stints, many dating back to the Seventies. Most used prison as a form of criminal networking knowing full well they would be left to fend for themselves when released.. We were told on many occasions that an inmate was worth more inside prison than back in society. Considering it costs an average of $37,000 a year to incarcerate offenders, and the average income for Black Americans is $24,000, and only $8,000-12,000 for poor Blacks, one can easily see their point. But unlike the vast majority of ex-offenders, I was fortunate enough to return to an established life and work, and a support system of friends, family, and colleagues. The Chicago Tribune reported this year that about two-thirds of the more than 600,000 ex-convicts released in 2005 will be re-arrested within three years, and about half will return to prison for a new crime or violation of parole. Despite having paid their debt to society, once released their punishment is not nearly over. These days there is little to no hope of any real reform, as within the various Departments of Corrections, correction is a painfully misleading euphemism for the warehousing of offenders. There are few, if any, re-entry programs for ex-offenders and virtually no jobs or social services to help keep them afloat in an increasingly difficult and unforgiving society. Thus, most ex-offenders have no choice but to return to their old crime infested neighborhoods, destitute and desperate to survive any way they can. A significant majority of the new crimes or parole violations are drug related, often nothing more than testing positive on a monthly drug screen. This lack of any employment, training, or rehabilitative opportunities has created a permanent underclass of ex-offenders who remain trapped in poverty, unable to provide for themselves or their families without resorting to the few, generally illegal means available to them. Faced with their very survival, most have no compunction about engaging (or re-engaging, as the case may be) in drug dealing rather than starving. What may be even worse is that for some, their ongoing crimes are only those of association, or in some cases, the consequences of being black and poor. Laws prohibiting ex-felons from associating with other ex-felons and gang members, such as the Illinois Street Gang Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act, or those preventing ex-offenders from being in areas designated as high crime or where controlled substances are illegally sold, used, distributed, or administered means that many ex-offenders are in violation of their parole simply by going home, where the majority in their neighborhood, including family members, have criminal records, and drugs are sold on almost every corner. I cannot begin to recount all the men I met, particularly those with prior records or those on parole, who were re-incarcerated for crimes they did not commit, simply because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong people. Gasps! Not possible! Lies! Propaganda! Our system is just! True it is, for those who can afford justice in the form of a bond and a private lawyer, or for those whom the system is not already unduly prejudiced. But in a system with corrupt cops eager for arrests, zealous States Attorneys eager for convictions, jaded and overwhelmed Public Defenders eager for quick pleas, and rigid bond judges eager to set bail far beyond what anyone in their socio-economic class could reasonably afford, there is little opportunity for a fair trial. For so many, including myself, the conditions in the penitentiary were preferable to those in Cook County Jailwhere some 30,000 detainees languish awaiting the resolution of their casesso a quick plea is the lesser of all evils and the shortest route to freedom. Had I chose to fight my case, there is little doubt I would still be there today. In the end, what does that say about our criminal justice system? Instead of correction and rehabilitation, what we have is what University of Nevada-Las Vegas Criminal Justice professor Richard Shelden calls a "criminal justice industrial complex" where the police, the courts and the prison system have become huge, self-serving and self-perpetuating bureaucracies, which along with corporations, have a vested interest in keeping crime at a certain level. They need victims and they need criminals, even if they have to invent them, as they have throughout the war on drugs and war on gangs, Thirty years ago Gore Vidal noted that roughly 80% of police work in the United States has to do with the regulation of our private moralscontrolling what we drink, eat, smoke, put into our veinswith whom and how we have sex or gamble. Then there were roughly 250,000 prisoners in the nation. Today there is more than 2 million, with another million in county jails awaiting trial or sentencing, and another roughly 3 million under correctional supervision on probation or parole. The total national cost of incarceration then was $4 billion annually; today its $64 billion, with another $20 billion in federal money and $22-24 billion in money from state governments earmarked for waging the so-called War on Drugs. Nationally, around 60% or more of these prisoners are drug criminals. Yet, throughout all this time and expense there has not been the slightest decrease in either drug use or supply. And amidst all the talk of race as a factor in the Katrina disaster let us not forget a bigger disaster: One in every 20 black men over the age of 18 is in prison compared to 1 in 180 White men. Despite African Americans comprising only 12% of the total population, in five states, including Illinois, the ratio of Black to White prisoners is 13 to 1. The U.S. Department of Justice reports that Blacks comprise 56.7% of all drug offenders admitted to state prisons while Whites comprise only 23.3% (in my Illinois prisonone of 28 in the Stateof the 1,076 inmates, 689 were Black, 251 were White, and 123 were Latino). Based upon these numbers, a full 30% of African-Americans will see time in prison during their life, compared with only 5% of White Americans, even though White drug users outnumber Blacks by a five-to-one margin. Anyone familiar with these facts was not surprised by the response to the largely poor and black victims of Katrina. It was simply a further affirmation of their invisible status within our society, further proof of the Third World existing within the First in America. What may be the biggest shame in all of it is how New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin himself reinforced all the most miserable Black stereotypes by characterizing the looters as drug starved crazy addicts wreaking havoc in an attempt to expedite Federal assistance and justify a declaration of martial law. It spoke volumes to what resonates within the public consciousness, stirring up some of our deepest fears. Its time to realize, once and for all, that this war is lost. Its akin to trying to empty the flooded New Orleans streets one teaspoon at a time. But sadly, Americans have forgotten this war amongst the multitude of more fashionable, media-friendly others that have arisen in the last five years. As peace groups mobilize for a national march on Washington later this month to end the Iraq War, a few miles away from the Mall the Drug War is still raging. The Sentencing Project and the Schaffer Library for Drug Policy reported that at one point in the 1990s half of all of Black men 18-35 in Washington D.C. were either in jail or on probation or parole, and more than ninety percent had arrest records. No matter how much money the government pours into the War on Drugs, it doesnt appear to make a dent in drug use or drug-related crime. The body count in this war still rises. Dead and corrupted cops, dead gang youth, dead traffickers and couriers, dead innocent bystandersthe urban collateral damagedevastated families, addiction, disease, overdoses from unregulated, poor quality drugs, exploding prisons, crushing costs, corrupt officials, craven politicians, sensationalist media, and a limitless harvest of offenders. Where does the madness end? We cannot address poverty and race in America nor can we talk about needless death and expense without addressing the Drug War. If we dont stop the direction in which we are heading, by 2020 there will be over 6 million people in prison, and thousands more lives extinguished in the crossfire of a domestic war that we had no chance of winning in the first place. ____________ Charles Shaw, a writer and activist, is the Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of Newtopia.

Cannabis new drug of choice to finance Al Qaida SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM Monday, September 26, 2005 ABU DHABI Saudi security sources said Sunni insurgents have been smuggling illegal drugs from Iraq to Saudi Arabia to finance insurgency attacks against coalition forces. The sources said the drugs being smuggling now tend to be cannabis. "In the space of one year, border police intercepted 10 tons of cannabis coming from Iraq," a Saudi source said. "In the past, the [smuggled] merchandise used to consist of alcoholic beverages and prohibited drugs." Saudi officials said that from February through August 2005, Saudi authorities captured 682 infiltrators, Middle East Newsline reported. They said that Riyad, which deploys 35,000 troops, has spent more than $1 billion to improve security along the Iraqi border and closed 27 smuggling routes. The sources said revenues from the smuggling were being shared by Al Qaida operatives in Iraq and Saudi Arabia. They said the money has been used to purchase weapons and finance attacks in both countries. "We have reason to believe that profits from drug smuggling has been financing militants who are fighting Iraqi and coalition forces and facilitating the illegal entry of people into the country," a Saudi security source told the London-based A-Sharq Al Awsat daily. "It also supports Al Qaida's terrorist activities inside the kingdom." "Since March 2004, we have given special training to officers to monitor the Iraqi border," a Saudi security source told the Riyad-based Al Watan daily. "There are 34 fixed units and 37 mobile units monitoring the Iraqi border." The sources said Al Qaida has turned to drug smuggling after Saudi authorities decreased the flow of contributions from the kingdom. They said that over the last year Saudi intelligence has been monitoring the flow of funds to Al Qaida. The sources said Al Qaida's network in Iraq has sought Saudi volunteers, largely for their willingness to transfer money to the insurgency. They said hundreds of Saudis who infiltrated to Iraq were believed to have brought in up to $15,000 each. Many of the Saudis have arrived in Iraq via Syria. The sources said Saudis sought by authorities left the kingdom for Yemen and then made their way to Syria. Still others entered Iraq from neighboring Iran. A senior Saudi official said up to 3,000 Saudis were said to be fighting the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq. The official told a briefing to Saudi journalists in mid-2005 that the volunteers joined the Al Qaida network led by Abu Mussib Al Zarqawi. Medical marijuana user banned from regatta By Eliot Kleinberg Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Tuesday, September 27, 2005 Irvin Rosenfeld, the South Florida stockbroker who gained national attention for his fight to freely use marijuana as medicine, has run into resistance from one of the nation's top sailing events for the disabled and expects to be barred from next year's event. The reason: an independent group that monitors use of drugs by athletes won't exempt the pot Rosenfeld uses to treat tumors that would otherwise leave him bedridden and in pain. Rosenfeld, who has sailed in three races of the North American Challenge Cup in 11 years, has asked the race's organizers and the U.S. Sailing Association to overrule the United States Anti-Doping Agency and let him sail in the 2006 regatta. He said an event that celebrates overcoming disabilities is in effect discriminating against a disabled person. The USADA, the official anti-doping agency for Olympic, Pan American and Paralympic sports, gave no reason for its rejection, Rosenfeld said in a Friday e-mail to the sailing officials. Travis T. Tygart, general counsel for Colorado Springs-based USADA, said Monday the agency is bound by the standards of the World Anti-Doping Agency, which bans marijuana. Banned drugs must meet at least two of three standards: they enhance performance, they have detrimental health effects, or they violate the spirit of sports. The WADA does not specify which standards apply to marijuana, Tygart said. He said athletes are free to appeal to WADA, and, if rejected there, to an independent arbitrator. Representatives of Montreal-based WADA did not return calls on Monday. Challenge Cup Chairwoman Jennifer French couldn't be reached Monday. U.S. Sailing spokeswoman Marlieke Eaton said from Portsmouth, R.I., that the group is bound by the USADA's rules. But, she said, "We do have intent to revisit this." Seven people one has since died were given marijuana in a federal program started in 1978. Rosenfeld joined in 1982. The U.S. government grows marijuana on a farm in Mississippi and provides it in cans of 300 cigarettes to Rosenfeld in care of the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami.. Rosenfeld smokes 10 to 12 cigarettes a day of what he calls "my medicine." He said the federal government has ruled the marijuana does not give him an edge over other competitors. And he said that because he has never gotten high on the drug, he has special permission to drive and even operate machinery and would not be a danger to other sailors. In the 2005 regatta in Chicago, organizers allowed him to race but said he must refrain from using his marijuana during the event. He said he took his medicine in secret, but believes competitors and organizers knew he was doing so, since he at times smoked it just a few hundred yards away. "Why don't you just tell a diabetic to stop taking his insulin for five days?" Rosenfeld wrote. "U.S. Sailing had some nerve to single me out for my 'BANNED SUBSTANCE' when a lot of the other competitors were on banned substances," Rosenfeld continued. He alleged competitors in the Challenge Cup have never been tested for drugs, even though virtually all of them take some sort of medicine, none of it designed to improve their performances. "All of us are disabled, and that's the medicines that we use," Rosenfeld said Monday in an interview. NEWS Of The AFFILIATE --- > > We at North Ohio NORML have minutes from all of our meetings and would > gladly send a copy to anyone that requests it. > > Peace & Activism, > > Cher > President > North Ohio NORML > We have a new web-site with a new look:  HYPERLINK "http://www.dfwnorml.org/" www.dfwnorml.org Sincerely, Phillip Vice President of DFW NORML  HYPERLINK "http://www.dfwnorml.org" www.dfwnorml.org  HYPERLINK "mailto:phillip@dfwnorml.org" phillip@dfwnorml.org September 27, 2005 Dear NORML chapters and affiliates, I!m corresponding with you today to relate two actions taken by NORML!s board of directors at its quarterly meeting this weekend in Washington, DC, that effects NORML!s affiliate listserv. First, because of questions raised by some on the NORML affiliate!s listserv, we asked the NORML board of directors to review my recent decision to support a decision by Associate Director Kris Krane, acting in his capacity as Chapter Coordinator, to remove Hank Koch from the listeserv, and to suspend the certification of Midlands NORML, an authorized affiliate of NORML. Kris and I had taken these steps after reviewing a number of private and public postings by Hank, which convinced us that his temperament and style were inappropriate for a NORML spokesperson, and are frequently offensive and counterproductive. Because Hank was the principal spokesperson for Midlands NORML, we suspended the chapter authorization as well. We would welcome an application from a re-organized Midlands NORML for re-certification. Under the bylaws of NORML the Executive Director of the organization can both de-certify chapters and suspend and/or remove invited NORML activists from participating on NORML!s private listservs. The use of NORML!s name, information, logos and other registered trademarks and servicemarks can be revoked at anytime for noncompliance with NORML chapter guidelines. NORML chapters and individuals can appeal decisions to the NORML board of directors. Concerning the matter at hand, the board of directors reviewed Hank Koch!s on and off list email exchanges with numerous members and NORML!s staff. The board voted unanimously to support the de-certification and removal of Hank Koch from his position and from the affiliate!s listserv, and the decision to suspend the certification of Midlands NORML. The board invites members of NORML in the Columbia-area to apply for re-certification after a re-organization. In other related matters, after reviewing Paul Tiger!s on-list postings and off-list email exchanges with NORML staff, the board of directors recommended to the Executive Director a 60-day suspension from NORML!s listserv. Employing my prerogative, I!m suspending Paul Tiger of Boulder NORML for 30 days, effective immediately, for his seeking to create division among the chapters, creating dissenting listservs on other network servers seeking to mock the organization, being offensive to NORML!s staff and for lack of accepted decorum. Individual members of the board of directors also recommended a 30-day suspension for Cher Neufer of North Ohio NORML for posting an email from Hank Koch after he was suspended from the list, and where Cher acknowledges in her post that she might be going over the line in posting it. I!m not going to suspend Cher, but I!m clearly stating here that if a person or persons are suspended from NORML!s private listservs, and an invited member to NORML!s listservs posts emails or remarks from a suspended person(s), or from representatives from a decertified chapter, he or she will be suspended or removed from NORML!s listserv. -NORML, strategy and reforming marijuana laws- This time last year, shortly after the NORML board of directors appointed me Executive Director, I circulated NORML!s Strategic Plan to the internet, NORML!s supporters and chapters to demonstrate the ways and means NORML employs to educate the public about the need to reform marijuana laws as well as lobbying and litigating for law reforms and legalization. I recommend you review NORML!s Strategic Plan that is found below. Self-evidently NORML, and dozens of others pro-reform groups, are pushing hard on many levels9 and levers9 for substantive and long-lasting policy reform changes. There is no grand plan that will end 68 years of cannabis Prohibition, only a consistent multi-tiered and effective effort to build public support to sufficiently high enough levels that marijuana law reform is politically possible from our elected officials. There are many strategies, projects, initiatives and efforts to reform marijuana laws and most of them are well discussed and explored at NORML!s annual conference. If possible, please attend the 2006 NORML conference (planned for April in San Francisco. Details to be announced.). Also, marijuana legalization strategy will be the focus of more than one panel at the upcoming Drug Policy Alliance conference ( HYPERLINK "http://www.drugpolicy.org" www.drugpolicy.org) in November in Long Beach, CA. One panel on strategies to legalize marijuana will feature Rob Kampia (MPP), Ethan Nadelmann, Ph.D (DPA), Steph Sherer (ASA), Mitchell Earlywine, Ph.D (NORML Advisory board) and myself. Cannibim liberemus, Allen St. Pierre Executive Director Member, board of directors NORML/NORML Foundation  HYPERLINK "mailto:allen@norml.org" allen@norml.org Strategic Plan for NORML (Draft 2005) NORML Provides a Voice for Marijuana Smokers and Advocates of Legalization Since 1970, NORML has served as a voice for marijuana smokers in the public policy debates over marijuana policy. The organization, along with its sister organization, the tax-exempt NORML Foundation, seeks through public education, state and federal lobbying, and public advocacy, to overcome the unfair negative stereotype of marijuana smokers, to offer alternatives to criminal prohibition, and to move public opinion sufficiently to achieve the repeal of marijuana prohibition so the responsible use of cannabis by adults is no longer subject to penalty. According to recent national surveys, three out of four Americans now say they favor a fine-only for marijuana smokers; no arrest, no jail, and no criminal record. That is the highest level of public support we have ever enjoyed on this issue, and it indicates that real political change should not be far behind. The name NORML is synonymous with marijuana smokers in the minds of millions of Americans. We enjoy a level of name recognition (24% of all Americans know NORML and what we do) and good will (87% of current marijuana smokers have a positive impression of NORML) that can only be attained with many years of persistent, public work. We must now find ways to use these assets to organize marijuana smokers as an effective political force in American politics. Below is a list of key projects that NORML seeks to undertake over the next year. More detail is provided about each of these projects at the end of this document. - Diversify the Organization - Smoke the Vote! Campaign - Commission Economic Analysis of the Cost of Marijuana Prohibition - County-by-county Marijuana Arrest Report - Domestic Cannabis Crop Report - Hire a full-time Patient Advocate - Webpage and Online Community-building enhancements - NORML College Speaking Tour - Alternative News Media Ad Campaign - NORML in the News - Viral membership Drives Online - NORML Database Improvement Program - Regional Activist/NORML Chapter Meetings - NORML Public Service Announcement Campaign - NORML National Public/Pacifica Radio Ad Campaign - Focus Groups and Polling - Million Person March for Marijuana in Washington, DC NORML's Role NORML has always sought to serve as an advocate for the responsible use of marijuana. While other organizations support marijuana law reform measures, they do so from the perspective of efficient use of resources, advancing harm reduction policies, and other principles of good government. They do not generally advance the most important argument of all: that the vast majority of marijuana smokers are good citizens who pay taxes, raise families, and contribute to their communities in a positive manner. With the exception of their use of marijuana, they are law-abiding citizens and they should not be treated like criminals. NORML is readily distinguished from most other drug law reform groups by the level of service, information and assistance we provide to a variety of constituencies. Individuals, activists, legislative committees, NGOs and the media regularly contact NORML and receive near real time and credible replies to their inquiries concerning: drug testing, forfeiture, mandatory minimum sentencing, crime statistics, post-arrest legal questions, legal referrals, health concerns, medical marijuana, hemp, policy and history, botany, civil liberties/free speech and grass roots organizing. While there are millions of citizens who smoke marijuana responsibly (25.5 million smokers according to the government!s latest survey data), this constituency is not currently an effective 'special interest group.' Because smokers are not yet organized into an effective political constituency, smokers do not yet enjoy the political power that our numbers suggest we should. NORML's principal challenge is to find ways to better involve and organize politically the millions of Americans who support an end to the criminal prohibition of marijuana. The key ingredient to organizing this constituency is to overcome the fear that many smokers have that speaking out for reform might result in their being targeted and harassed or arrested by the local police. This is an understandable concern, but one which is self-defeating. So long as smokers stay in the closet, they are invisible to elected officials, and thus their interests are ignored. NORML's attempt to overcome this fear is two-fold. First, we encourage successful, mainstream Americans who smoke marijuana to come out of the closet, to begin to make the point that many middle class Americans smoke marijuana. We believe that every time a prominent American publicly acknowledges his or her use of marijuana, it makes it easier for other, less prominent citizens to do likewise. In addition, NORML has a Legal Committee comprised of approximately 350 criminal defense attorneys around the country who favor ending marijuana prohibition, and who frequently represent victims of the current marijuana laws. When a NORML activist appears to be unfairly targeted by local law enforcement as a result of his or her reform advocacy, we have the ability to provide quality legal assistance at no cost to that individual. While this seldom occurs, knowing the legal committee is available offers some reinforcement to citizen activists. Tools to Achieve Our Goals NORML has a number of obvious assets that can help us achieve our political goals. Cost Effective Organizing and Fundraising -NORML's Popular Webpage- Over the last few years, public-interest groups have learned to rely more and more on the Internet as a crucial tool in our reform efforts. NORML utilizes e-mail and our popular web site as a principal way to communicate among our own network of reformers and with the national media; the most effective and cost efficient way to generate constituent letters to elected representatives at all levels of government; an increasingly important way to attract new people to the reform efforts; and an inexpensive way to raise funding for the organization. The NORML web site is visited each day by more than 23,000 individual visitors, and includes daily news feeds of marijuana-related news, as well as weekly NORML news releases, to give visitors a reason to come back to the site frequently. -NORML's ListServ- In addition, NORML has now accumulated more than 50,000 e-mail addresses of reform supporters on our e-zine list, which we use to communicate with reform activists, and to generate e-mail letters of support for proposed legislation on both the state and federal level. For example, when we issue an alert asking people on he e-zine list to send a letter to their members of Congress, we can usually generate approximately 5,000 letters within 48 hours. On one recent alert, dealing with the imprisonment of cultural icon Tommy Chong, our list generated nearly 10,000 e-mail letters to Congress in a single week. -Media- NORML is also the nation's principal spokesperson in the media for ending the arrest of marijuana smokers. Because of our 34 year history, and our high name recognition, NORML is generally the first institution called by the news media when they want a quote on a marijuana-related development, or when they want someone to balance the government's anti-marijuana propaganda. NORML also publishes numerous letters to the editor, op/eds, and feature articles in major news markets (including, in just the past year, The Washington Post, Newsday, The Christian Science Monitor, Reason, TomPaine.com, and The Washington Times). Our extensive and unique relationship with the media provides NORML the opportunity to articulate the basic message for reform on a national and international scale on a continuing basis. It is through this repeated public exposure that we maintain our position as America's best know lobby for marijuana smokers and others who favor reform. -Credible Leadership- The NORML Board of Directors is comprised of leaders in the marijuana law reform movement, many of whom have been involved in this movement for many years, and who bring valuable experience and a long term commitment to this task. The board (comprised of activists, business persons, educators, lawyers and physicians) provides credibility to the organization as a whole, and signal legislators, members of the media and others that NORML is a force to be taken seriously. The individual board members provide policy input on a national level, and leadership in the reform efforts in their particular regions of the country. The NORML Advisory Board provides a way for NORML to highlight and utilize the support of celebrities and other prominent Americans who share our goals and are willing to stand-up publicly for ending marijuana prohibition, but who may not have the time or interest to serve on the board of directors. Since World War II, popular culture in America is largely driven by celebrities and athletes as they attract positive attention, bring a level of excitement to organizational events, and help convince Americans that they should take our efforts seriously. These individuals, by identifying publicly with NORML, give us their stamp of approval, a valuable asset in today's culture. NORML's credibility offers a number of advantages that other drug reform groups do not enjoy: First, NORML has a 34-year old archive of history, reports, government studies, photographs, audio-visual library and cultural memorabilia. Second, NORML is credible to both counter-culture and youth-oriented individuals as well as to the mainstream and middle class. Third, NORML is perceived as the ultimate resource when it comes to matters relating to marijuana. -National Legal Committee- Also, NORML enjoys the support of a network of approximately 370 criminal defense attorneys around the country who comprise the NORML Legal Committee (NLC). No other drug law reform group has assembled such a law reform asset. These attorneys are a valuable resource when we need to provide legal assistance in a particularly egregious marijuana-related case, frequently providing pro bono assistance to individuals who could otherwise not afford experienced legal counsel. These attorneys also provide support and assistance to our political efforts in the various states, giving a helpful professional edge to local and state reform efforts. NORML sponsors an annual legal seminar at Key West each December that attracts criminal defense attorneys from around the country and world for special training, accredited by Continuing Legal Education boards throughout the country. -Grassroots & The NORML Chapter Network- Finally, there are more than 110 state, local and campus NORML chapters throughout the country that serve as grassroots advocates for political change in their areas. These chapters give NORML the ability to maintain a lobbying presence with state and local legislatures, and to serve as the principal public advocate for ending marijuana prohibition in the state and local media. NORML's high name recognition and the overwhelmingly favorable impression of NORML among America's tens of millions of marijuana smokers, gives unparalleled credibility and access to these many state, local and campus NORML chapters. The Next Few Years... It is always risky to attempt to project the future of social and legal reform efforts. Factors arise that were not anticipated; the public mood can change without any warning; a prominent citizen (i.e., former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson) can decide to speak out forcefully for reform; a horrible crime may be committed in which marijuana was somehow involved; or any of a number of developments may occur that render any prophecy totally inaccurate. Nonetheless, it is still helpful to try to anticipate the path of reform for the next few years. Since its inception, NORML has always pursued a state-based strategy for reform. -State-based law reforms- As most political observers understand, social change in this country almost always begins at the local and state level, and if successful in a number of states, eventually reaches Congress for consideration on the national level. This pattern is applicable to marijuana decriminalization and legalization efforts. First, state legislators are more closely in touch with average citizens. Second, under our federal system of government, state legislatures are intended to function as laboratories for considering new ideas and new policies. Once a critical mass of states have adopted a reform policy, it is then usually possible to get Congress to consider similar changes on the federal level. -Future of Medical Marijuana on the State Level- On the state level, the principal focus for the next two or three years will likely remain the medical use of marijuana by seriously ill patients. We enjoy 80% public support for the medical use of marijuana, nine states have already legalized medical use, and the issue will be before a number of additional states during 2006. We expect that law reform efforts might add five or six new states to the list of medical use states within the next few years. That will depend to some extent on the final approval of a sublingual spray as an effective delivery system, as is being developed in England. Once that alternative delivery system is approved for use in the US, it may become difficult, if not impossible, to get additional states to approve the use of whole, smoked marijuana, as preferred by most patients. -Decriminalization Legislation in the States- Second, we should once again begin to see various states give serious consideration to marijuana decriminalization bills. It is important that we move the primary focus from medical use to recreational use, as the vast majority of marijuana smokers are not medical users. To encourage this trend, NORML is currently working with selected members of Congress to once again get a federal decriminalization bill introduced, as reinforcement for state legislators, and to expand the public debate. -Federal Marijuana Decriminalization Bill is Needed Immediately- While it may be overly ambitious to expect that we can make any appreciable progress so long as the Bush Administration is in office, maintaining a basic level of advocacy on the federal level is important. A decriminalization bill in Congress, for example, even if it fails to get any serious consideration from Congress, is reinforcing to scores of state legislators who support decriminalization but do not wish to be seen as being too far ahead of the current public debate. Similarly, the absence of a bill in Congress tends to weaken our state reform efforts, giving the impression that the state level proposals are radical or extreme proposals, unlikely ever to be adopted as public policy. Within a few years, it is quite possible that a new administration, regardless of the party in power, might well decide to support decriminalization as part of their platform. Therefore, we must continue to build support at the state level, and in the public domain, so we are ready to actively move reform efforts forward on the federal level, once the opportunity arises. It takes a long time to achieve legislative reform, but once the process of change begins, it frequently occurs at a rate more rapid than anyone expects. -Conclusion- NORML remains the best-known marijuana law reform organization in the world, and we must continue to use that valuable asset to better organize marijuana smokers and those who oppose marijuana prohibition. While NORML currently services a universe of 50,000-100,000 supporters of marijuana law reform, mainly smokers and medical marijuana supporters, the organization needs to expand the number of supporters significantly in order to increase the political impact of the organization. To do that, the organization needs to increase the annual budget from $800,000 to perhaps $2 million. The two-year goal: NORML needs to grow from an organization of approximately 12,000 members and 50,000 listserv readers to 30,000 members and 200,000 listserv readers. With adequate funding, NORML will continue as the principal lobby for marijuana smokers with the mission of organizing smokers into an effective political force in American politics. ### *+,nr$&'=>!"¾~oo\oN5CJOJQJ\^JaJ8$0J>*B*CJOJQJ^JaJ8phjCJOJQJU^JaJ8CJOJQJ^JaJ8CJOJQJ^JaJ80JCJOJQJ^JaJ8CJ OJQJ^JaJ8 CJ OJQJ0JCJ OJQJ^J5CJ`5CJ4OJQJ\0JCJ4OJQJ^J56CJOJQJ]5CJ8OJQJj5CJ8OJQJU5CJOJQJ*,n $$Ifa$Z$$Ifi4    *>+0    4 ia$$0&@#$/Ifa$&&'#00vv $$Ifa$ $$Ifa$ !$$Ifa$ !$$Ifa$]$$Ifl4*P+04 la "#/ f g x 1 2 +,PQ Žumifc[5CJOJQJCJCJ 5CJ`5CJOJQJ5CJOJQJ\ CJOJQJ5CJ5 5OJQJOJQJ CJ OJQJ CJOJQJ5CJ OJQJ\5CJ OJQJ\^JaJ5CJOJQJ5CJ OJQJ^J5OJQJ^J5CJOJQJ\^JaJ80JCJOJQJ^JaJ85CJ OJQJ\^JaJ8#/ f g 1 2 +,PQ$If $$Ifa$ !$$Ifa$ $$Ifa$}w$If$$IflF *"j0    4 la67LMNjkAn-ƾݾxqh^T5CJOJQJ^J5CJOJQJ^JCJOJQJ^J CJOJQJ CJOJQJ5CJ$OJQJ5CJOJQJ5CJOJQJ5CJOJQJ 5OJQJ5CJOJQJ\OJQJ55CJOJQJ5CJ(OJQJ5CJ OJQJ CJOJQJ5CJ OJQJ5CJOJQJCJ CJ OJQJCJ B*CJOJQJphCJ 56)>c$$Ifi4*>+  &04 ia $$Ifa$h$$Ifl4;*>+  &04 la6MNAnop9$ Zh$$d%d&d'd-D IfM NOPQa$+,-34]a0$$d%d&d'd-D IfM NOPQ9$ Zh$$d%d&d'd-D IfM NOPQa$3$$$d%d&d'd-D IfM NOPQa$ 34D^swxgh23LMOP/0KLú~~~~~0JCJOJQJ^JjCJOJQJU^JCJOJQJ^JCJOJQJ^JCJ OJQJ^JCJ OJQJ^JCJ OJQJ^J5CJ OJQJ5CJOJQJ6CJOJQJ5CJOJQJ5CJOJQJ6>*CJOJQJ5CJOJQJ^J1]^stuvwx0`ab !$$Ifa$ !$$Ifa$ !$$Ifa$ !$$Ifa$3$$$d%d&d'd-D IfM NOPQa$56pq`b/078<=wx  A B F G z '!(!)!*!S!x!yys 5OJQJ CJ OJQJ CJOJQJ5CJOJQJ5CJ OJQJ 5CJ OJQJeh r CJ 5CJOJQJ\^JCJOJQJ^J5CJ OJQJ\^J5OJQJ\^JCJ OJQJ^J0JCJOJQJ^JjCJOJQJU^JCJOJQJ^J+b (!| v$Ifm$$Ifl4%40M * 04 la !$$Ifa$ !$$Ifa$(!)!*!R!S!.@e$$Ifi4#*>+  &04 ia$Ifc$$Ifi4#*>+  &04 iax!y!z!{!|!!!!!!!!!!!"""""5"6"7"8":";"="}"~""""""""""ĽȂwowkk`CJOJQJ^JaJ85CJ5CJOJQJ5CJ OJQJCJOJQJ CJOJQJ5CJ OJQJCJ 5CJ OJQJeh r  CJ OJQJ5CJOJQJ\^J CJOJQJ5CJ5CJOJQJ 5OJQJ 5CJ\0JCJ OJQJ^JaJ85CJOJQJ\^JaJ85OJQJ^J%S!z!{!|!!!!Tz$Ifo$$Ifl400c*04 la!$If $$Ifa$!!!""(e$$Ifi4*>+  &04 ia $$Ifa$e$$Ifi4#*>+  &04 ia"""""6"7"~"t m$$Ifl40r*r04 la$If $ !$Ifa$ $$Ifa$~"""""""""{mm $ !$Ifa$ $$Ifa$ !$$Ifa$$If !e$$Ifi4#*>+  &04 ia""""""#-#4#5#7#8#V#W#X#Y#Z#\#]#_########## $$ $!$#$%$&$'$($)$ڽښڽvmi5CJj5CJUj5CJUj_5CJU5CJ 56CJ 5CJOJQJ5CJ OJQJCJ CJOJQJ CJOJQJCJ CJ OJQJ 5CJ OJQJeh r 5CJOJQJ\^J CJOJQJ5CJ 5OJQJ5OJQJ\^JCJOJQJ^JaJ8&""6#7#P%e$$Ifi4#*>+  &04 ia$Ifn$$Ifl#0r*r04 la7#8#U#V#W#X# !$$Ifa$e$$Ifi4*>+  &04 ia $$Ifa$X#Y### %e$$Ifi4#*>+  &04 ia$Ifm$$Ifl40r*r04 la###### n$ !$&dIfPa$ $$Ifa$e$$Ifi4#*>+  &04 ia$If !##"$#$P%e$$Ifi4#*>+  &04 ia$Ifm$$Ifl40r*r04 la#$$$%$)$j$k$l$m$ $$Ifa$X$$Ifi4*>+04 ia $$Ifa$)$.$2$i$j$k$m$n$q$t$$$$$ %%%'%9%;%<%=%>%p%q%}%V&&&&w)x)V+W+|,},,̼̰ĦĢۓ{pcppppp0J'CJOJQJ^JaJCJOJQJ^JaJ0JCJOJQJ^JaJCJOJQJ^JaJ0JCJOJQJ^J5CJ5CJ 5CJOJQJ^J5CJOJQJ\^J5CJOJQJ5CJOJQJ CJOJQJ5CJOJQJCJ 5OJQJ5CJ0OJQJ56CJOJQJ]5CJOJQJ$m$n$%;%<%< $$Ifa$k$$Ifl4+0r*r04 la<%=%>%q%&x)W+},.//"0156:=*?!a$$Ifl4*>+  &04 la,,;-<-M-N-~.......... //////!0"010z0{0 1 1"1#1=1>1p1q1111122@3A3Q3R3444444$5%5R5S5h5i555͕͢0JCJOJQJ^JaJ0JCJOJQJ^J$0J'>*B*CJOJQJ^JaJph0J'CJOJQJ^JaJCJOJQJ^JaJ0JCJOJQJ^JaJCJOJQJ^JaJjCJOJQJU^JaJ:5553646:6;666d7e7777777;8<8J8K8888888::::_;`;k;l;m;n;;;;;~========)>*>M>N>\>]>>>>>>>>>????)?,?$0J'>*B*CJOJQJ^JaJph0J'CJOJQJ^JaJCJOJQJ^JaJ0JCJOJQJ^JaJjCJOJQJU^JaJCJOJQJ^JaJD*?,?c?&@AAVBCKDMDDE5GGNOOPQR"SUMWOWW|X;YU[\F]!,?b?c?n?%@&@1@2@x@y@@@AAAAAABB#B$BUBVB`BaBBBBBBBCC C!CCCCCCCCCCCDD-D.DJDMDDDDaEbEEEEööööÖéÖéö$0J'>*B*CJOJQJ^JaJph0J'CJOJQJ^JaJ0JCJOJQJ^JaJjCJOJQJU^JaJCJOJQJ^JaJ0JCJOJQJ^JaJCJOJQJ^JaJ0JCJOJQJ^J;EEEE4G5GGGGG[H\HfHgHjHkHHHIIIIIIIIII?J@JJJKJMJNJJJJJJJ|K}KKKKKLL!L"L$L%LLLLLLLTMUM[M\M^M_MMMMMNNNNNNNNlO0J'CJOJQJ^JaJ0JCJOJQJ^JaJCJOJQJ^JaJCJOJQJ^JaJjCJOJQJU^JaJLlOmOnOOOOOOPP&PPPQQxQyQQQQQRR!S"SrSsSSSTTTTTTTTTT)U*UCUDUJUKUUUUغحآyآآyyyy0JCJOJQJ^JaJjCJOJQJU^JaJ0J'CJOJQJ^JaJCJOJQJ^JaJ0JCJOJQJ^JaJ0JCJOJQJ^J$0J'>*B*CJOJQJ^JaJphCJOJQJ^JaJjCJOJQJU^JaJ6CJOJQJ]^JaJ/UUUU V V.V/V=V>VVVVWWKWLWOWWWW{X|X:Y;YOYPYYYYYT[U[V[[[[[\\\\\\\\\\ͬڝڒڅxx0JCJOJQJ^JaJ0JCJOJQJ^JaJ0JCJOJQJ^JjCJOJQJU^JaJ6CJOJQJ]^JaJ$0J'>*B*CJOJQJ^JaJph0J'CJOJQJ^JaJCJOJQJ^JaJCJOJQJ^JaJjCJOJQJU^JaJ/\]](])]E]H]]]]a^b^__aaaaaabbCbDbPbQbzb}bbbbcccc2d@dddeeWfXfafkfffgg=g>ggghhhheifiliƻƻ0JCJOJQJ^JaJ0JCJOJQJ^JaJ0JCJOJQJ^JCJOJQJ^JaJ0J'CJOJQJ^JaJ$0J'>*B*CJOJQJ^JaJphjCJOJQJU^JaJCJOJQJ^JaJ;F]H]]b^_aa{b}bbcXfjkm nhq}s1v3vv4wx:{p}}~=~ K!liii5j6jjjjjikjkkkmm n nHoIooooogqhqqq8r9rMrNr|s}ssssssszu{u|uvv/v0v3vvvΑΆ0JCJOJQJ^JjCJOJQJU^JaJ6CJOJQJ]^JaJ$0J'>*B*CJOJQJ^JaJph0J'CJOJQJ^JaJCJOJQJ^JaJCJOJQJ^JaJjCJOJQJU^JaJ0JCJOJQJ^JaJ0vv3w4wBwCwwwwwxxDyEyyyyy z zpzqz}z~zzz9{:{@{A{{{{{||B}C}m}n}o}p}}}}}}}}~<~=~H~~~~~!" ݴΡδݖ0JCJOJQJ^J$0J'>*B*CJOJQJ^JaJph0J'CJOJQJ^JaJ0JCJOJQJ^JaJjCJOJQJU^JaJCJOJQJ^JaJCJOJQJ^JaJ0JCJOJQJ^JaJ;
