Drug Czar Says He Welcomes NORML’s Participation In Drug Debate

Drug Czar Barry McCaffrey said that he welcomed NORML’s involvement in the national debate over drug policy, while speaking on National Public Radio.

NORML Executive Director R. Keith Stroup, Esq. immediately responded to the invitation and delivered a written acceptance stating that the organization would be ready and willing to meet with McCaffrey in either a private meeting or as part of an appropriate forum.

“We hereby request the opportunity to meet with you to discuss our concerns with the administration’s current drug policy,” announced Stroup. “Although we clearly do not agree on many issues, there may well be some areas, such as adolescent marijuana smoking, in which we can work cooperatively to achieve a common goal.”
