Thank you to the hundreds of you who joined NORML in the past week. Your free DVD copy of “Evergreen” is on its way to you now. (Evergreen is an exciting new documentary that tells the story about how my friends and I helped legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana in Washington State.)
My state finally considers responsible, adult recreational use of marijuana to be a civil liberty. And now, we are working to legalize marijuana in Alaska and Oregon. If you’d like to get involved, you’re still welcome to contribute $50 to NORML and get your DVD copy of Evergreen. Click here to find out more.
Again, this is not “pro pot.” This drug policy reform work is “anti-prohibition” and I consider it good citizenship. Our country’s insistence on criminalizing marijuana is an expensive and racist disaster and, one by one, states are opting out. I’m so proud of the work we’re doing and the support from caring citizens who understand that we can take crime out of the equation and treat marijuana abuse as a health and education issue – and recognize its mature adult use as a civil liberty.
We have momentum. And there is a lot more to do. That’s why I’m donating these DVDs to NORML for this campaign. And that’s why I’m spending this week in Oregon on a ten-city, seven-day, barn-storming tour.
(By the way, if you’d rather just stream Evergreen online, you can find it on iTunes and on Netflix.)
