If you're a student, and you're pro-weed, then Students for Sensible Drug Policy (http://www.ssdp.org/) is for you. IT began to protest a provision to the Higher Education Act that banned federal financial aid to anyone with a drug conviction - even for simple possession of a single joint - but imposed no such sanctions against serial killers, arsonists, or crooked politicians. The nation's fastest-growing student organization, they've already partially repealed the Aid Elimination Penalty, and plan to take it all the way down.
Also worth checking out: Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation (http://www.saferchoice.org/). SAFER asks: Which is safer, alcohol or marijuana? A cursory glance at the number of deaths caused per year by each (alcohol: around 100,000, marijuana: 0) should answer that, and yet we all know where the law comes down on this subject. Starting out on college campuses, and working up to a ballot initiative for the entire state of Colorado, SAFER has been bypassing the politicians and putting the question directly to the voters.
