Million Pot Smoker March!

Time to march on Washington!

NORML needs to get its ass in gear. They've been content to take a low profile approach to changing drug policy in the US, but now is the time for more overt action, in my opinion.

More and more people are ready for something to happen and willing to support it, but they need a focused effort. The pro-drug war folks ARE focused, and that's the only reason their policies continue to thrive. Politicians know there's no political capital to be gained, and plenty to be lost in supporting any relaxation of drug policies.

But a concentrated, focused effort could change that. If people who are for
legalization see large numbers of like-minded people taking action, then
they too will be encouraged to take action, whereas at present most people
figure it's not worth it because it doesn't seem worth the effort. A march
on Washington would show that people care, and that people are ready to
support politicians who support legalization.

The time is right!
