It is the gifting season! If you are considering making a charitable contribution to a non-profit before year’s end, please consider making it to one of the outstanding organizations working to end marijuana prohibition, conduct marijuana research, and provide marijuana education. These organizations do excellent work and will use your donation wisely.

NORML’s mission is to move public opinion sufficiently to achieve the repeal of marijuana prohibition so that the responsible use of cannabis by adults is no longer subject to penalty. You can support NORML with your membership or through donation by clicking http://norml.org/support.
Project CBD is a non-profit educational service dedicated to promoting and publicizing research into the medical utility of cannabidiol (CBD) and other components of the Cannabis plant. It was conceived by two journalists who have been covering the medical marijuana movement / industry in the pages of O’Shaughnessy’s. They think (and we agree) the reintroduction of CBD-rich Cannabis into the grassroots supply warrants special focus. Project CBD supports the Society of Cannabis Clinicians’ effort to collect, aggregate and publish data from patients to determine patterns of efficacy—or lack of efficacy. Donate to Project CBD at http://projectcbd.org. Your donation helps their practical research efforts and public education about cannabis.
We would also like to make mention that Patients Out of Time is also worthy of your donations. However, their website is currently offline. Please consider them in the future.
