Now that the Million Marijuana March is behind us, the summer activism and festival season kicks into full gear. We've got NORML Legal Conference, Oregon Country Fair, Emerald Empire Hempfest, Seattle Hempfest, and Portland Hempstalk all coming up real soon, along with our regularly scheduled cardholder and public meetings, our cable access TV show, and the NORML podcasts to keep track of.
Oregon NORML on YouTube
You can also get your fix of cannabis news and events by visiting our new YouTube channel. We'll have our show, Oregon NORML Presents, online there as well as links to many cannabis related videos from other users around the world - we are a global community!
Our March this year was a huge success! Police (conservatively) estimated 750 people in the streets calling for an end to adult marijuana prohibition! We were covered on three local TV news channels, with Oregon NORML Board Members delivering our talking points on OCTA 2010 - Madeline Martinez on FOX 12, "Radical" Russ Belville on KOIN 6, and Anna Diaz on KATU 2. We also got favorable coverage in the Oregonian and the Willamette Week. [UPDATE: We got a great editorial in Willy Week, too, click here to read it all.)
Check out the full video of the March plus a special live performance from Chief Greenbud on our latest edition of A Cannabis Community Forum, which is available on our Oregon NORML YouTube Channel.
Cardholder Meeting (2nd Sat)
May 10, 2008 - Cuttings & More
On the 2nd Saturday (May 10) we welcome new cardholders to Mt. Tabor Legacy Theater to network with patients, caregivers, and growers. This meeting provides an opportunity to get a plant cutting and become politically active in supporting the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program.
Mt. Tabor Legacy Theater
SE 49th Ave & SE Hawthorne Blvd.
Meeting starts at High Noon
Doors open at 11am Line starts much earlier than that...
We are happy to report that Mannix has officially pulled the initiative, citing that he cannot raise the necessary signatures to qualify for the ballot. The Oregon Medical Marijuana Act is safe for this election!
Mannix thought he could pull a fast one on the voters of Oregon, who overwhelmingly support our successful program. His Act would have repealed the OMMA and replaced it with a taxpayer-funded prescription Marinol program.
Mannix was going to obfuscate the issue by placing the OMMA repeal within other language that fought serious crime. This announcement is the perfect compliment to our announcement of the Oregon Cannabis Tax Act of 2010.
The third annual Hempstalk took place at the Sellwood-Riverside Park on the Willamette River just south of Portland. Oregon NORML was a major sponsor and both Madeline and Russ spoke before a crowd of thousands.
