About NORMLJessie

Jessica Franke is one of the 5 founding board members of Northern Wisconsin NORML, and current chapter Secretary (May 2010 thorugh present). She created and maintains the Northern Wisconsin NORML website (http://www.northernwinorml.org/), as well as the Southeastern Wisconsin NORML website (http://www.sewisconsinnorml.org/) and the Wisconsin Teapot Party website (http://www.wisconsinteapotparty.com). Jessica believes that legalizing cannabis and hemp is not only a matter of fairness in the free market - it is far safer and less addictive than caffeine, tobacco, alcohol, prescription painkillers, artificial tanning, and too many other legal substances to list - but also a matter of personal freedom and states rights. Cannabis (or, if you insist on using outdated slang, "marijuana") IS medicine. Cannabis and Hemp have been valuable to our society in the past, and can be again. They can be used for food, fuel, fiber, medicine, and more. There are even those who use it as a religious sacrament. There are many reasons these important plants should be legalized and utilized. Come join us and BE the change you want to see in the world. Help make a difference and educate the public and our lawmakers so that we can change un-just laws which hurt not only peaceful US citizens, but our society as well.
