i tend to think that it has been, but either way there are very few black people involved in norml. because of this, it makes no sense to complain that norml does not represent black folks when black folks dont want to participate and be involved. this is the great confusion of the system in operation that keeps marijuana illegal and maintains the largest prison population in the world.

if there was more diversity represented in norml ads, would norml be a better means of ending the drug war? it seems to me that the organization is doing little to change anything, regardless of norml's skin color
There was a time I may have thought similar thoughts BUT my experience and those of other blacks I talk to say OTHERWISE. NORML has a glass ceiling and it's policies and chooses of who it helps or what issues it supports shows because of it's lackj of inclusion.
