The Santa Cruz Citizens for Sensible Marijuana Policy are seeking volunteer signature gatherers to help place an initiative on November's city ballot that will: (1) Makes investigations, citations, arrests, property seizures, and prosecutions for adult marijuana offenses the City of Santa Cruz’s lowest law enforcement priority; (2) Enables the city to save tax dollars and police resources to be spent fighting violent and serious crime; and (3) Establishes a city policy supporting changes in state and federal laws that call for taxation and regulation for adult use of marijuana.

While we can't fully stop the war here in our city, we can set limits for the drug warriors in our midst. Equally important, we can put our city firmly on the side of ending marijuana prohibition and actively in support of sensible policies for adult marijuana use. We have till April 20th, literally 4/20, to gather 5,000 signatures.
