SAFER, a non-profit organisation that supports the reform of marijuana
laws, is calling on college presidents to join its cause, arguing that

group is specifically seeking the endorsement of presidents who signed
the Amethyst Initiative, which stated that the current legal drinking
age of 21 might be contributing to drinking deaths and should be
re-examined, the Inside Higher Ed article

dubbed its plea to presidents the "Emerald Initiative." Full report on the Inside Higher Ed site
