I honestly don't know how to run something like that but I have been to NORML meetings back east and it was a much better group. People didn't bitch about the people running it and they did things other than sit at a bar for an hour.
VERY TRUE.... What would you do to make it Better???
I would try to have weekly bbqs or something similer at a park get people closer together as well as maybe a create a NORML volonteer group to have possitive presents in the community (there is no present now) would get people their membership cards so the guy in the back can not be so pissed about it.lol. I always thought part of it was to show america that good, normal family people enjoy marijuana and they are still very good people in life..
Very much agreed...
What would you do Different ?? Explain....
) and is not getting off soon. as far as i understand they have yet to address the 25 mile rule or anything of the sorts. if i am incorrect then someone please set the record straight but imo az norml is just another lobbying group for the special interests who want to open up dispensaries and monopolize the production and distribution. where were they when az legislature refused to hear the proposed legislation to decriminalize marijuana possession last year? that bill did not even make it to the floor for debate. isnt that their fucking job to push these kind of law reforms through?
What would u do different? Explain....as far as i have heard the az norml is on the mmj money dick (@phxfire not to be confused with donkey dick
i am not really aware of what they are actually doing (if anything at all) but if i was the head i would promote a more patient oriented approach. community outreach would be my number 1 priority. i like the ideas of infoseek. mmj in AZ is legal and norml should be the one telling everyone and pushing the message. where is their awareness campaign? where is their presence at ASU, U of A, or NAU? what other organizations have they partnered up with? i would be seeking out similar organizations with similar goals for patients and consumers in mind rather than those who wish to prey upon our community. i would start a dialogue with local politicians and develop relationships with state officials. over all i would reorient the focus to patients and community rather than mmj businesses. if we humanize the campaign you are more likely to gain support.
"Nice people but rain and kathy kinda suck in the sense that they are very "clicky" seeming."
We should be getting people together, especially patients and focusing on the complete legalization of MJ. we should be having rallies and protests to get our message out into the public forum. As of Oct 27th there are 14,852 approved medical marijuana patients in this state; we should be able to get a few hundred people down to the state capital to protest for our rights. I want to see a more proactive group that actually has a presence in this state
Very solid points man...
very good point i agree
Never went just heard from folks how bad they are...
well i guess it is not right to criticize something i have not experienced but if they were doing a great job i think we all would have heard about it.
I am 99.999% sure that it is not over night but when you have to renew your card.
nice point. this is true. should it come to that i planned on doing the same. but still that would only be a stop gap to the inevitable revocation of cultivation rights.I am 99.999% sure that it is not over night but when you have to renew your card.
I have looked a lot into it and have been planning on renewing my card right before they open
Just long enough to save $ and buy land in the middle of nowhere AZ!
