An
interview with SAFER Executive Director Mason Tvert is included in this
week's edition of 4:20 Drug War News
on the Drug Truth Network. Mason discusses the recent news that NFL officials are concerned by an "epidemic" of past marijuana use among this year's draft class.
SAFER co-founder and Marijuana Is Safer coauthor Steve Fox appeared on MSNBC Friday to defend the initiative to tax and regulate marijuana in California that recently qualified for the ballot.
As the Los Angeles Times -- and just about every other newspaper in the nation -- reported:
Measure to legalize marijuana will be on California's
November ballot
Supporters of the initiative collected well more than the 433,971
signatures needed for it to go before voters in the fall, again putting
the state at the forefront of the nation's drug debate.
An initiative to legalize marijuana and allow it to be sold and taxed
will appear on the November ballot, state election officials announced
Wednesday, triggering what will probably be a much-watched campaign that
once again puts California on the forefront of the nation's debate over
whether to soften drug laws.
SAFER is a proud member of the coalition in support of this initiative, so we hope you will join us in lending it your support, as well. In particular, please become a fan of the campaign on Facebook, so that you can begin to receive important news and updates straight from the campaign. And if you are registered to vote in California, please sign the pledge to vote in support of the measure this November.
The campaign's very detailed press release follows after the jump.
