Marijuana advocacy group NORML put its congressional rankings online this
week, providing voters with an easy way to find out which representatives
are voting to pass the grass.
'The West is the best,' says NORML's Executive Director Allen F. St. Pierre,
citing the seven representatives in California, Oregon and Washington state
who earned a perfect score of 30 on NORML's ranking of pot-friendly
lawmakers. But don't overlook the Northeast, where five Massachusetts
congressmen also earned a 30.
NORML's got little love for Oklahoma, 'I don't think we had anyone who
tested well out of Oklahoma' or Mark Souder, R-Ind. 'They're the drug
warriors,' St. Pierre says, whipping out possibly the most offensive term
peaceful marijuana advocates are capable of conjuring up.
But does NORML have a nickname for their allies on Capitol Hill? 'No,' St.
Pierre says.' No pet names for them. They're just friends.'
