NORML Partners with Rep. Barney Frank (D, MA) to Introduce Federal Decriminalization Legislation!
March 24th, 2008 By: Keith Stroup, NORML Legal Director
For the first time in nearly 25 years, NORML is spearheading a campaign in Congress to end the federal prohibition of marijuana. Congress created cannabis prohibition, and the courts say time and again to reformers: ‘Congress is the place to change marijuana laws.’

Therefore, NORML has teamed up with Democratic Congressman Barney Frank of Massachusetts to draft legislation that would strip the federal government of its authority to arrest responsible cannabis consumers.

Yes indeed, for the first time in more than two decades, we will shortly have legislation in Congress that, if enacted, would end the federal prosecution of adult marijuana consumers!Based on the recommendations of the 1972 National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse (also known as the Shafer Commission), this proposal would eliminate all federal penalties prohibiting the personal use and possession of up to 100 grams (3 ½ ounces) of marijuana. Under our measure, adults who consume cannabis would no longer face arrest, prison, or even the threat of a civil fine. In addition, this bill eliminates all penalties prohibiting the not-for-profit transfers of up to one ounce of pot. In short, for the first time since 1937, the possession, use, and non-profit transfer of marijuana for personal use by adults would be legal under federal law!Please check NORML.org and NORML’s blog for more information, as we will continue to bring you the latest news regarding this important legislation.


NORML sucks, they never do anything, this will not work.

but at least someone with a decent standing is saying something... sure any pothead can say "legalize it" and no one will give a shit, but a congressman... doubt it will pass with bush in office.. but makes me hopeful to see it sometime in my lifetime...

At least they're fucking trying, you're seriously going to put down people trying to make a difference? There doing a whole lot fucking more than you're doing. Dumbass.

Yeah you're totally right. Your current campaign is running much better.

The people I despise most in this world are people like you. Complain about someones efforts while you sit on your fat lazy ass.

No, I just don't give a shit.

Legalization wouldn't really do that much moar for me. I have no issue obtaining, possessing and using drugs.

And I'm on full probation.

I dont give a FUCK about legalization. I think its funny when these pothead faggots from NORML take all of you stoner ass's money and dont ever get ANYTHING done.

You know, I'm tired of you posting shit and trhen not really saying anything. It is up to you to start the conversation and if you can't be bothered to do that, we can't be bothered to keep your threads open.
