NORML Affiliates Nationwide To Celebrate 'High Holiday'
Washington, DC: NORML affiliates in more than a dozen states will be holding events this Friday, April 20th, to acknowledge "420" the official day for cannabis awareness. NORML chapters in Dallas, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, Santa Barbara, Tuscon and other cities across the nation will hold rallies commemorating the day, and will call on their elected officials to stop arresting adults who consume cannabis responsibly.
"April 20th has emerged as the most organic and culturally driven day of cannabis awareness, not just in the United States, but also worldwide," said NORML Executive Director Allen St. Pierre. "However, while this is a day of notable celebration, it also is a stark reminder of the absurdity of cannabis prohibition in our free market-oriented, democratic society."
