San Francisco, CA: An overflow crowd of more than 500 marijuana-law reformers jammed the halls of San Francisco's Cathedral Hill Hotel to attend last week's 2005 national NORML Conference and call for an end to America's criminal pot laws.

News stories on the NORML conference were featured prominently in numerous local media outlets, including The San Francisco Chronicle, The Oakland Tribune, KQED radio, The Orange County Register, KGO talk radio, The Tri-Valley Herald, and The Eureka Times-Standard, among others.
