NORML Invades S.F.
38th Annual Conference
Pot Is Still Illegal…For Now
The Grand Hyatt in San Francisco, next to Union

Square, played host to the 38th Annual NORML Con-
ference on September 24th through 26th. The Na-
tional Organization for the Reformation of Marijuana
Laws(NORML) has been holding this conference for
nearly four decades and almost every year since
they began the number of marijuana arrests have
continued to rise. You think they would have given

as he pondered the relationship between medical cannabis and
the legalization efforts that were under way. St. Pierre’s state-

door for what was to be a lively set of discussions. Thursday was
dedicated to the medical aspects of cannabis, Friday was fo-
cused mostly on adult use legalization efforts, and Saturday was
organized into a number of breakout sessions on a wide array of
interesting topics where activists could focus more clearly in a
more intimate setting, followed up by discussion panels. The ac-
tion packed line-up played to packed audiences of folks listening
intently as to how they can be a part of this evolving movement

The Marijuana legalization movement in California is
bigger than it’s ever been. Currently, there are at least three
groups (and maybe a fourth) pushing to get enough signatures
to put an initiative for Marijuana Legalization on the ballot for
the 2010 elections. In an effort to clear up some of the confusion
as to what each initiative will do, we present—

Space Dawg: Snow Dawg (Snowcap x Chemdawg) female x Space Queenmale. The rumor is, Subcool created a bunch of these seeds and gave
them away. The folks who were lucky enough to get seeds were very lucky indeed. Flowers in 8 weeks, with t a cherry, kushy (Kushesque?) flavor.
Mostly indica effects, although the Space Queen gives it a little lift. So we give thanks: Thanks to Ocanabis for the picture, Thanks to Subcool for
creating the seeds, and thanks to Cannabis for being such Good Medicine..... editor@westcoastcannabis. com
