This is currently an alphabetical list of cannabis activism related links, that will ultimately become a FAQ. It is primarily meant to provide readers of this forum a quick list of links to information on many cannabis organizations, medical and social studies, landmark legal cases, historical current activism events. It is by no means a complete list, and will continue to be updated on an ongoing basis. If you have an organization event, person or study that you believe should be on this list, please suggest it either in this thread or shoot me a pm. I am aware that probably because my focus is on US activism that other areas are not as well represented and am especially looking to expand the list to include just as many international organizations, studies and activists/events.
[b] How do I find what I am looking for? [/B]
As mentioned the titles of the links are in alphabetical order, all links include a source, a decription and most have keywords - and to find what you are looking for, you can easily use the find feature on your browser (I use CTL + F) just type in a search term (like rainbow farms or multple sclerosis) and hit enter until you find the information on the page.

An early victim of the War on Drugs who faced 20 years to life in prison for giving two joints to an undercover policewoman Sinclair served 29 months of a 9-1/2-to-10-year sentence before his legal victory on appeal changed the law for good. - The long campaign waged by Sinclair culminated in a massive John Sinclair Freedom Rally headlined by John Lennon & Yoko Ono Stevie Wonder Bob Seger Phil Ochs Allen Ginsberg and Bobby Seale that resulted in Sinclair's release from prison on December 13 1971—just three days after the event.
