In 1929, Pauline Sabin founded the Womenamp;rsquo;s Organization for National Prohibition Reform, which had 100,000 members within a year, by the time Prohibition was repealed in 1933, it boasted 1.5 million members. Thatamp;rsquo;s something politicians pay attention to. A more recent example of womenamp;rsquo;s power to bring change is Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Since MADD was founded in 1980, the organization claims to have cut drunk driving by 50 percent. The group was involved in lowering the standard blood alcohol level for driving to .08 percent and helped create tougher drunk driving sanctions across the nation. If women marijuana activists are as successful as those ladies, the terrain around here will be significantly different for marijuana users. Thereamp;rsquo;s already evidence. Washington stateamp;rsquo;s legalization effort was led by Alison Holcomb. And the weed world recognized broadcast journalist Cheryl Chodun of WXYZ as an outstanding activist at the 2013 Hempfest. Chodun is working to pass the Ohio Cannabis Rights Amendment. The buds or flowers of the female cannabis plant are the part prized by marijuana users, medical or otherwise. Thatamp;rsquo;s where the highest concentration of THC, CBD and other healthy impact cannabinoids are found. Maybe paying more attention to the females of our own species can have a healthy impact. Cherish the ladies, and pay attention to them. - Metro Times
