A little over one week before California voters will decide on proposition 19, a ballot initiative to legalize and tax marijuana for recreational purposes, the NORML Womens Alliance and creators of Pot Couture, the first online magazine for sophisticated lady stoners, joined with several other female cannabis activists to spread the message of marijuana reform with a high-style photo shoot designed to reframe the perception of the marijuana legalization movement, and the stereotype of those involved.
The women gathered for the photo shoot are activists and professionals who support proposition 19. The online magazine partnered with the NORML Womens Alliance in 2010 with the shared mission of giving a voice to the women in America who oppose marijuana prohibition. The passage of Californias historic ballot initiative Proposition 19 is a priority for women who recognize that legalization and regulation will create a safer environment for children and families, says Sabrina Fendrick, coordinator for the NORML Womens Alliance.
Theres still this idea that supporters of marijuana reform are on the fringes of society, but thats just not the case. Marijuana is as mainstream as it gets, and these women are proof, says Pepper, of Pot Couture.
Regardless of what happens in California in November, marijuana reform is an issue that is here to stay, adds Margot of Pot Couture. The medical benefits of marijuana are proven, and the economic opportunities are real. American women are savvy, and they have no interest in funding a losing war on drugs. Margot and Pepper are the two characters depicted in the magazine.
New Jersey NORML Executive Director, Anne Davis, Esq argues, What we need are common sense marijuana regulations that are practical and enforceable. Marijuana is not nuclear energy or heroin; it is a plant with incredible qualities. To hold that a natural substance should be prohibited while far more dangerous man-made toxins are permitted is insanity.
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) speakers bureau director and attorney Shaleen Titlesays, The pro-legalization cops, judges, and DEA agents at LEAP believe that taking back control of the marijuana trade is about de-funding the only groups that benefit from the prohibition of marijuana violent gangs and cartels who control its distribution and reap immense profits by murdering rivals and supplying drugs to kids.
