NORML
Foundation
Launches
Marijuana
Ad
Campaign
in
San
Francisco
8/20/99
(press release from the
NORML Foundation, http://www.norml.org)
A public advertising campaign
launched in San Francisco by the NORML Foundation urges that the government
"stop arresting responsible pot smokers."
The 30 billboards located
on San Francisco bus shelters bear one of two headlines: "Honk, if you
Inhale," and "A Pot Smoker is Busted Every 45 Seconds -- and You Wonder
Why We're Paranoid." The ads direct readers to the NORML Foundation's
toll free number and to its web site.
"Around 12 million adult
Americans smoke pot regularly in their homes and still hold down demanding
jobs, raise families and lead productive lives," said Keith Stroup, NORML
Executive Director. "We're calling on those individuals to send a
message to the state and federal governments -- responsible marijuana use
by adults is commonplace, safe and should be decriminalized."
For more information, please
contact NORML at (202) 483-5500. The ads can be viewed online at
