saveoursociety -- Issues and Legislation

2009 Legislation

 Save Our Society (S.O.S.) is continuing to monitor the ballot initiative process and legislative efforts in a number of different states across the country that would seek to legalize "smoked" marijuana for both personal use and under the guise of medicine. In addition, we are monitoring the Federal legislative process for legislation that will impact both drug demand and supply reduction efforts across the country.

We urge our supporters to keep abreast of these important issues. Stay tuned, as further developments occur!
