NORML is writing you today with MAJOR news from Sacramento.

California's first-ever marijuana legalization bill, Assembly Bill 390: The Marijuana Control, Regulation and Education Act, is tentatively scheduled for a hearing before the Committee on Public Safety and Health on Tuesday, March 31.

To date, we know that over 4,000 of you have e-mailed your California state assemblymen and urged him or her to support AB 390. This is a terrific show of force, but we need to step up our lobbying efforts THIS WEEK!

The Committee is expected to vote on this proposal immediately following the hearing so it is vital that you contact your elected officials, and the members of the Public Safety Committee in particular, and urge them to support AB 390 TODAY!

Contact information, including e-mail addresses and phone numbers for the members of the Committee, is available here. Please write and call them today!

Please tell them that AB 390 would:

1. Restrict access to marijuana to those under age 21;
2. Raise over $1 billion dollars in annual tax revenue;
3. And improve public safety by redirecting law enforcement efforts to focus on more serious crimes.

You may also send letters in support of this measure to your state assemblyman by going here: Contact Officials - NORML
For additional information on this hearing, please contact California NORML. California NORML also has fliers you can download in support of AB 390 available here. Because the date of this hearings is subject to change, please log on here prior to 3/31 to confirm the bill's status.

Thank you for supporting NORML's marijuana law reform efforts in California.

Sincerely,
The NORML Team

Just got this in an email today about 2 hours ago. All you californians need to start supporting if you haven't already!

Man, I wish there was some way to get the public to know about this bill. The only reason I'm aware of it is because of this site, which I doubt most Californians frequent. (Though it is California...)

I really hope this passes, as I'm sure we all do. Can anyone explain the process it will have to go through to pass?

FYI: Handwritten letters get much more attention than e-mails.

Californians, please make it happen. The rest of the country is depending on you right now.

ya, it pretty much all depends on california. But maybe it doesn't, I mean, gay marraige didn't pass in that state, but I'm sure it's going to in other states.(hopefully, atleast)

A nearly identical bill to this was proposed in Massachusetts today! Good news.

Looks like Massachusetts is jumping on it too.
