First and foremost, we at Arizona NORML all hope all of you are keeping smart, keeping safe, medicating as necessary and contacting health professionals with any concerns that arise as we wait for the Covid Crisis to pass.

(Though please rest assured, AZ-NORML may be physically social distancing, but we have been far from idle.)

Next, in addition to showing much love for the more than 300 viewers who caught the live production on our Facebook page, Arizona NORML wants to thank the dozens of people who came together to produce our “virtual” April meeting, Tuesday April 7th. In addition to our production staff of myself, communications director, Ryan Wilson and Jenny Sadler of Plant Powered Solutions, our multi-part Zoom video production took more than a week to produce, included four guest videos, 16 title cards and summaries from several recent articles from our website.
