Action Alert

Urge Congress to Decriminalize Marijuana!

Thanks in large part to NORML’s effort, more than 30 percent of the U.S. population now lives under some form of marijuana decriminalization, and according to government and academic studies, these laws have not contributed to an increase in marijuana consumption or negatively impacted adolescent attitudes toward drug use. Nevertheless, Congress has refused for more than 35 years to have any serious legislative discussions on the topic of decriminalization. This attitude must change.

With the Democrat takeover in Congress, NORML believes that the federal government is primed, for the first time in over a decade, to hold legislative hearings on the subject of decriminalizing marijuana. NORML is working closely with Democratic leadership on this issue, and expects to see federal legislation introduced later this year to remove criminal penalties on the possession and use of cannabis by adults. However, in order to gather needed bi-partisan support for this effort, Congress needs to hear from you – articulately and often.

Please take a moment today to contact your federally elected representatives and tell them to amend federal law so that the adult possession and use of cannabis is no longer a criminal offense.

Consider this: In the past 35 years –

* Approximately 16.5 million Americans have been arrested for marijuana violations – more than eighty percent of them on minor possession charges;

* US taxpayers have spent well over $20 billion dollars enforcing criminal marijuana laws, yet marijuana availability and use among the public remains virtually unchanged;

* Nearly one-quarter of a million Americans have been denied federal financial aid for secondary education because of anti-drug provisions to the Higher Education Act. Most of these applicants were convicted of minor marijuana possession offenses.

Today, one in every eight inmates incarcerated for drug crimes is behind bars for pot, at a cost to taxpayers of more than $1 billion per year.

Now is the time to tell Congress to cease arresting minor marijuana offenders.

I called my two senators and representative and told them to cut out the torture (specifically waterboarding) and end marijuana prohibition.

They promised to pass along my message. : )
