I know people have been trying for a long time, but it has only been illegal for a short time, less than 100 years, george washington was a hemp farmer!! , but I think I have a different approach, for example, those people tried to pass a bill with congress and it is a big ego thing to me there that is why I think a lawsuit would be better and people in the past focus on the medical side more than anything, I am comparing it to legal alcohol and point out that MONEY is being lost, and our government revolves around money, so hopefully my approach will make a difference when citing the past attempts.

About joining NORML, I joined when they had their 420 special and all they sent me was a poster with a couple of leaflets asking for more donations. The poster is great and I know they barely got anything from my $4.20 so I'm not bothered but I did kinda expect maybe a bumper sticker and a freedom card. I'm not whiny though, I LOVE the poster and $4.20 is REALLY bare bones. BTW, I'm woot because I'm going to a NORML benefit concert tonight and I've never been to any NORML events before.
I am not totally sure how it all works but I am learning, I know I dont need a lawyer but I am sure I will find volunteers to help, and I will approach it however I can get to supremem court and I will voice that goal from the beginning, as far as NORML, they are comfortable with their non profit org, they are making money if marijuana is not legal, so I dont think they are trying so hard and I made several attempts to contact them and wound up no where so I lost my faith and the NORML NJ incident sealed my opinion that they are useless, the communication I got was from some condisending assistant to some big wig there, except for some of the documentation on the failed attempts to legalize marijuana I have no desire to deal with them anymore, I am starting to think they are a scam too.
