Marijuana: Fueling Momentum

Dear Friends,

These are extraordinary times.

Marijuana policy reform is more possible now than it has ever been. That's why I hope you'll make a generous contribution of $60.00 or more to the Drug Policy Alliance Network today.

Even just a year ago, could you have imagined that we'd have a president who calls the war on drugs an "utter failure" and a secretary of state who admits U.S. culpability for the drug war violence in Mexico?

Or that a bill to make marijuana legal in California would gain mainstream support?

Our political and economic landscapes are undergoing seismic shifts, and the momentum for true marijuana policy reform is on our side.

Our community must take advantage of this opportunity now if we are to turn this new promise into the profound policy changes the American people need.

I hope you feel proud of what you've already helped accomplish in strategically reshaping the public debate over drug policy. When the controversy over Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps's marijuana use erupted, members of the drug policy reform community like you expressed outrage over the company's decision to drop Phelps. And Kellogg's public image took a huge hit.

We are deeply grateful for your past support of the Drug Policy Alliance Network and for all you've done to help us reach this pivotal moment.

I hope we can count on you to take your support to a new level as we take the fight to reform drug policy to new levels!

Thank you.

Sincerely,

 

 

Ethan Nadelmann
Executive Director
Drug Policy Alliance Network

P.S. Clearly, momentum is on our side. But momentum does not occur in a vacuum. We must create it, build on it, fuel it and increase it. Your support will make this possible. Please give generously today!
