NORML launched a radio advertising campaign in Santa Fe and Albuquerque this week, stating “Every 54 seconds another American is arrested for smoking marijuana…Governor Gary Johnson is right; it’s time we stopped arresting adults who smoke marijuana responsibly.”
The ad is intended to build support for Gov. Johnson’s call to legalize marijuana, citing the failed drug war and the absurdity of arresting otherwise law abiding marijuana smokers. Listeners are encouraged to visit NORML’s website (www.norml.org) where they can contact the governor and state and federal legislators. They are also referred to NORML’s new state affiliate in New Mexico.
NORML will soon be providing similar public service announcements to radio stations around the country.
For more information, please contact Keith Stroup, NORML Executive Director at (202) 483-5500. .
