45 What can I do to bring some sense into our marijuana laws?

There are many things you can do. Activists are
working right now at all levels to reform marijuana laws.
If you cannot afford to be an activist, there are many ways
you can help -- activists find themselves short of money,
time, and occasionally even friendly company. Get to know a
hemp or marijuana legalization activists in your area, and
just keep up to date on what they are planning. Odds are
you will find something that you can easily do which will
help them out a whole lot. There is a list available called
the Liberty Activist's List which will give you the phone
numbers or address of groups near you. Also, you may call
the National Office of NORML (The National Organization for
the Reform of Marijuana Laws) at 1-202-483-5500. The most
important thing you can do on your own, though, is to keep
tabs on your state and local legislators, and let them know
that this is an issue to be taken seriously.

Many activist groups offer `memberships.' These usually
involve a fee for joining the group, and a newsletter that
keeps you up to date on the group's activities. This way
you know when and why to write your legislators, and thought
provoking information which you normally would not get is
delivered to you. If and when you need to, most
importantly, you will be able to contact the group and seek
or give advice.
