A Selection of MPP's Campaigns
MPP is lobbying to pass marijuana-related legislation in California, Illinois, New York, Minnesota, and Rhode Island.
Medical Marijuana Legislation MPP is leading the effort to convince members of Congress to support federal medical marijuana legislation. Michigan Coalition for Compassionate Care MPP's Michigan Coalition for Compassionate Care is working to pass a ballot initiative in Michigan in November 2008, protecting medical marijuana patients from arrest and jail. War on Drug Czar MPP has pursued various legal complaints against Drug Czar John Walters (director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy), including one pending complaint in Alaska. MPP's VIP Campaign MPP is working with actors, musicians, producers, directors, professional athletes, former and current public officials, and other VIPs to educate the American people about the need to take marijuana out of the criminal market and regulate it. Projects include a celebrity advisory board, music events, film festivals, and more. MPP is airing provocative radio ads on major stations around the country,educating Americans about the need to end marijuana prohibition. Mandatory Madness MPP fights against mandatory minimum sentences for marijuana crimes. Mandatory minimum sentences — which take sentencing power out of the hands of judges — have caused the number of drug offenders in federal prison to explode from 25% of the total inmate population in 1981 to 60% in 2001. The Cost of Prohibition Taxing and regulating marijuana would produce combined savings and tax revenues of between $10 billion and $14 billion per year, according to a report funded by the MPP grants program and endorsed by 500 distinguished economists, including Nobel Prize-winner Dr. Milton Friedman. MPP-Supported Campaigns Committee for Sensible Marijuana Policy MPP is assisting the Committee for Sensible Marijuana Policy in passing a ballot initiative to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana in Massachusetts in November 2008. Past Campaigns Granite Staters for Medical Marijuana MPP is pushing the presidential candidates to take strong, public, positive positions on medical marijuana during the presidential primary campaign in New Hampshire, the first state to hold a primary. NV: Committee to Regulate and Control Marijuana MPP's Committee to Control and Regulate Marijuana won 44% of the vote for an initiative to end marijuana prohibition in Nevada in November 2006. Regulate Marijuana in Alaska Although this initiative to remove all penalties for marijuana use by adults aged 21 and older lost by 44% to 56%, it was the all-time biggest vote for ending marijuana prohibition in the history of the country.
