*Welcome, M.A.S.H.*

Welcome, M.A.S.H.

Tonight was the first meeting this year of M.A.S.H. (Mobilizing Students and Activists for Hemp), a student group at Illinois State University (I am their advisor).
Organizations like this are extremely important for spreading the word about the travesties in the war on (some) drugs, and it looks like we’ve got a good group this year. If you’re in the area and want to get involved, let me know and I’ll get you connected with the officers (the group’s a bit web-impaired right now, although we hope that will change).
So I’d like to welcome all the members of M.A.S.H. to Drug WarRant. Good to have you here. Add a comment or drop me a line. A few things you might be interested in checking out:
