Though we would like to commend the dedicated work of Safer Arizona in trying to launch a 2018 cannabis legalization campaign, prudent planning tells us we must prepare for the possibility of having to be part of a 2020 initiative.
With that in mind, AZ-NORML has begun meetings w multiple key players in AZ cannabis reform including CRMLA, AZFMR, PCC, MITA, LEAP, Safer Arizona and national NORML itself, hopefully to mind a few fences and craft the best, most widely supported cannabis initiative possible. With that in mind, please familiarize yourself with this list of areas of personal rights cannabis initiatives, like 2016’s #Prop205, try to address.
