“For the first time in NORML’s 37-year history, our organization will be holding our annual conference in Los Angeles – a location we chose because it is ‘ground zero’ in the federal government’s war on medical pot,” NORML Executive Director Allen St. Pierre said. “We join Southern California’s vibrant marijuana law reform community to express our solidarity against the federal government’s excessive and unpopular attacks on Los Angeles’ patients and providers, and to strategize for an end to criminal cannabis prohibition.”
