Americans
for Safe Access
Americans
for Safe Access (ASA) is an aggressive media and grassroots
campaign designed to force Attorney General Ashcroft and the
Bush Administration to back off its anti-medical marijuana campaign
and to grant states the right to choose and govern medical marijuana
laws. ASA will work to prepare and defend medical marijuana
dispensaries and the patients they serve from attacks by the
Bush administration through legislative strategies, media campaigns,
and non-violent direct action.
Osburn
Defense Fund
This case is bigger than Lynn and Judy. Unlike other medical
marijuana cases, the Osburns, in conjunction with the LACRC,
met with local, state and federal officials in making every
effort to implement Prop 215 legally. The lawyer who advised
them was also a local elected official. The Osburns paid federal
and state income taxes on all moneys received as reimbursement
for their costs and services. Everything they openly disclosed
to public officials the federal government is now using against
them.
National
Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws
NORML is a nonprofit, public-interest lobby that for more than
30 years has provided a voice for those Americans who oppose
marijuana prohibition. NORML represent the interests of the
tens of millions of Americans who smoke marijuana responsibly
and believe the recreational and medicinal use of marijuana
should no longer be a crime.
Drug
Policy Alliance
Drug Policy Alliance is the nation's leading organization
working to end the war on drugs and promote new drug policies
based on common sense, science, public health and human rights.
The Alliance, headquartered in New York City, maintains offices
in California, Washington, DC, New Mexico, and New Jersey.
Marijuana
Policy Project
The Marijuana Policy Project works to minimize the harm
associated with marijuana -- both the consumption of marijuana,
and the laws that are intended to prohibit such use. MPP believes
that the greatest harm associated with marijuana is prison.
To this end, MPP focuses on removing criminal penalties for
marijuana use, with a particular emphasis on making marijuana
medically available to seriously ill people who have the approval
of their doctors.
Media
Awareness Project
DrugSense and its largest project MAP combine to form a
501 c3 non-profit corporation. MAP exists to provide accurate
information relevant to drug policy in order to heighten awareness
of the extreme damage being caused to our nation and the world
by our current flawed and failed "War on Drugs." MAP
aims to inform the public of the existence of rational alternatives
to the drug war, and to help organize citizens to bring about
needed reforms.
