In April, an overwhelming majority of students at the University of Washington in Seattle voted in favor of a SAFER referendum, calling for university penalties for marijuana use that are NO harsher than those for alcohol use. 

The students at UW join students at major colleges in Florida, Colorado, Maryland, and Texas, who have also approved SAFER referenda in student elections. SAFER resolutions have also begun to pop up on the agendas of student governments from Washington, D.C., to Fayetteville, Arkansas. The SAFER message is clearly getting out.  

If you are a college student and wish to get a SAFER campaign started on your university, please contact us and help us help you make your campus safer. SAFER does not have chapters, so we encourage students interested in running SAFER camapaigns to join or start campus NORML or SSDP chapters.
