Mile High NORML Cannabis Rally
Thurs., Jan. 14, 2010, 11:30am - 2:00pm
Followed Gov. Bill Ritter's final State-of-the-State speech
Lincoln Park, across the street from the West Steps of the Capitol
Building
The Mile High NORML Cannabis Rally on Thursday was
amazing. Over 400 people attended. News reports were that, as Gov.
Bill Ritter gave the medical marijuana part of his State-of-the-State
address across the street in the Capitol, the rally could be heard
clearly inside the Chambers. One reporter asked how we had timed
it so perfectly that we could be heard inside the Capitol at the
exact moment Ritter was talking about medical marijuana. It was
just lucky, but we're glad all the state legislators and the Governor
knew we were there.
LOBBYING TOUR
After the rally, organizer Miguel Lopez of Mile High NORML gave
the first-ever Cannabis Advocate Grassroots Lobbying Tour of the
Capitol. About 40 patients, caregivers and advocates attended, many
of them dressed to impress in their suits and business attire. Miguel
showed us all the Committee Rooms and the offices of Senate and
House members. Many advocates were able to find and talk to their
representatives and senators. It was a very empowering event for
everyone. For most people, it was their very first experience with
grassroots lobbying and meeting their elected officials. Mile High
NORML hopes to do more of these tours in the coming weeks, so stay
tuned.
I'M A PATIENT AND I VOTE
Free stickers were given to the first 300 patients, compliments
of the Cannabis Therapy Institute.
