Dear NORML supporters, Please make plans today to join NORML in Los Angeles, October 3-6 for the 41st annual national NORML conference. This year's forward-looking theme: The Final Days of Cannabis Prohibition The host hotel is already near capacity and online registration is available. NORML's annual conference is the premiere gathering in America of cannabis law reform activists and organizations working for public policy alternatives to the country's failed Cannabis Prohibition laws. This election year, voters in as many as four states will have the opportunity to vote in the affirmative on legalization initiatives. Additionally, numerous states have passed cannabis law reform measures, placing much needed pressure on the federal government to follow suit. NORML's annual conferences are always informative, community building and fun! 2012 NORML Conference Roundtable Panel Topics (sample of agenda topics):

• Seventy-five Years of Cannabis Prohibition in America, October 3, 1937 - October 3, 2012: A review of the Cannabis Prohibition epoch in America

Mudita for all living beings :  May all beings live and relive their most beautiful moments  And forever maintain the sense of abandonment and affluence they knew.  May all hungry beings remember only the moments of satisfaction.  May all animals have enough food and water, shelter, sex and affection.  May they reincarnate to a better existence very very soon.  May all beings enjoy and know the happiness of their senses.  May all humans know mundane and super mundane blessings.  May all humans enjoy material blessing, relationships, affection, care, protection; May they be able to share their joys and sorrows,  May they remember their beautiful qualities,  May they dwell  In their own kindness,  Their good hearts,  Their moments of selflessness, and May all beings remain forever in their happiest hour. -- Advaharma
