Women's Marijuana Movement Supports California's Prop 19

The Women's Marijuana Movement on Tuesday, October 5, will coordinate news conferences throughout California and across the nation in support of Proposition 19, the California ballot initiative to control and tax marijuana similarly to alcohol, and to highlight the need for marijuana law reform nationwide. "We are mothers, daughters, grandmothers, professionals, homemakers, artists... and we collectively recognize that the biggest harms caused by marijuana are the failed drug laws imprisoning nonviolent offenders and often forever affecting their quality of life, as well as their contribution to society, when previously many were or could have been productive citizens rather than a drain on the system," Weldon told us.
