 Today's NORML Daily Audio Stash features an interview with SAFER Executive Director Mason Tvert about the upcoming Colorado Marijuana Reform Seminar & Activist Boot Camp. SAFER is co-hosting the event with Sensible Colorado on November 15 at Regis University in Denver.
The groundbreaking training was also recently mentioned over at the Colorado Independent, the state's premier Web-based original news sources.  Apparently word about the event is spreading fast. At last count, approximately 130 Coloradans (and even a couple folks from neighboring states) have registered to attend. |

  Cindy McCain, the subject of one of SAFER's recent campaigns, arrived in Colorado for a rally Friday with her husband, presidential candidate John McCain. SAFER welcomed the country's potential First Drug Dealer and her fans outside the event at National Western Arena in Denver.
As the Rocky Mountain News reported in its live blog of the rally:
8:22 a.m. Protesters are standing at the fence near the main entrance to the building -- both pro-McCain and anti-Obama signs are out. "Hocky Mom
for Obama" is right next to "Bad Change.com, whose literature indicates
their main issue is abortion. The biggest banner belongs to SAFER -- Safer Alternative For
Enjoyable Recreation -- who promote marijuana as a safer choice than
alcohol. Their sign asks "What's the difference between Cindy McCain and a
marijuana dealer? Mrs. McCain has made a fortune selling a more harmful
drug -- alcohol." "That's just sad," a woman wearing a McCain button says to one of the SAFER volunteers.
The banner and SAFER's presence also got a mention in the Irish Times, one of Ireland's most popular newspapers.

Students at Florida State University have once again voted overwhelmingly in favor of reducing campus penalties for marijuana use so that they are equal to those for alcohol use. They approved the following question by a margin of 65-35:  Do you think the penalties for on-campus marijuana possession should be
lowered to be equivalent to the penalties for on-campus under-age
drinking?
SAFER worked with FSU NORML back in 2005, to pass a similar measure, and there is no doubt this reinvigorated effort by the campuses NORML and SSDP chapters will reignite the debate on campus. As FSU SSDP President Matthew Zimmerman so clearly put it: "People shouldn't be discriminated against for choosing marijuana
instead of alcohol," Zimmerman said. "We think it's unfair more
students get their financial aid stripped away for (possessing)
marijuana than for alcohol.
