DESCRIPTION:The Women's Marijuana Movement on Tuesday, October 5, will coordinate news 
 conferences throughout California and across the nation in support of 
 Proposition 19, the California ballot initiative to control and tax 
 marijuana similarly to alcohol, and to highlight the need for marijuana law 
 reform nationwide.\n\n"The Women of these United States are joining 
 together and showing their support of Proposition 19 and the people of 
 California to vote YES and take this historic step towards reforming our 
 nation's marijuana laws," Cheyanne Weldon of Texas NORML told Toke of the 
 Town.\n\n"Throughout history, when women have shown their support of 
 prohibition (or lifting of a prohibition), society as a whole has taken 
 notice," Weldon told us.\n\n"We are mothers, daughters, grandmothers, 
 professionals, homemakers, artists... and we collectively recognize that 
 the biggest harms caused by marijuana are the failed drug laws imprisoning 
 nonviolent offenders and often forever affecting their quality of life, as 
 well as their contribution to society, when previously many were or could 
 have been productive citizens rather than a drain on the system," Weldon 
 told us.\n\n\nCALIFORNIA\n\nLos Angeles\n\n10:30 AM\n\nIn front of Los
