Subject: Free Scholarship: NORML Seminar In Aspen For Marijuana Activists And
Attorneys

Dear NORML supporters,

Colorado NORML is pleased to announce the second annual Hunter S. Thompson
Scholarship to attend the 2009 NORML Aspen Legal Seminar!

The NORML Legal Committee's Annual Aspen Conference (which is a continuing
legal education seminar for practicing lawyers) is scheduled for June 4th
and 5th, 2009, at The Gant. Colorado NORML, is presenting the scholarship,
which covers three nights lodging and the conference registration fee, to
an attorney or cannabis law reform activist who, by written submission,
demonstrates 1) a desire to improve public advocacy and/or trial skills
related to representing cannabis consumers in the courts (criminal,
medical, and more), 2) a demonstrated need for financial assistance to
attend this year's Aspen Legal Seminar.

The value of the scholarship is approximately $1000.00.

Some of the finest defense attorneys (and cannabis law reform activsts) in
the United States have been coming to NORML's Aspen seminar for many years
to learn, enjoy the inspired environs of beautiful Aspen in early
summer--and to do so at VERY reasonable rates. This year's seminar focuses
on state and federal medical marijuana laws, and is a MUST educational
opportunity for medical marijuana patients, providers, cultivators, as
well as for criminal defense attorneys (and public defenders, who receive
a discount to attend).

Check out this year's informative and interesting schedule at:

The social events, including a great, private dinner catered by Cache
Cache's Chris Lanter, are included with the scholarship.

Criminal defense lawyers, public defenders, cannabis law reform activists,
medical marijuana patients and their providers from the 13 states with
medical cannabis laws are strongly encouraged to attend (HI, AK, WA, OR,
CA, NV, NM, CO, MT, MI, RI, VT and ME).

Submission for this year's Hunter Thompson Scholarship is by fax, mail or
email. The scholarship is awarded by the CONORML board of directors,
please direct your submissions 'Attn: Steve Wells' at: swells@...,
