Colleagues, many of you remember working with Dick Evans, a western MA

land conservation lawyer responsible for keeping much of his local

farm and woodland areas bucolic. He also worked in the formative years

with NORML and was principal drafter of NORML's principles of

responsible cannabis use. I am pleased to report that after recent

years consumed with nonreform ventures, Dick is back to some superb

activism in MA in which I and other MA reformers are happy

beneficiaries and fellow workers. Dick asks me to pass along his

greetings to so many of you who he fondly recalls and hopes to see

again.

Dick feels an important step in reform is the creation of a common

resource for reformers, journalists, legislators and the public to use

in undertaking the serious consideration of marijuana legalization. To

serve this goal, Dick has just created www.cantaxreg.com. A purpose of

this site is to cleanse this term of the fear prohibitionists have

assigned to it, and elevate this word to stand for a better drug

policy involving real drug control and a source of social safety net

revenues at a time of financial crisis.

Dick invites you to visit the site, and welcomes criticism,

corrections, suggestions and links/urls to any useful related material

he has overlooked; please contact him at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . To

enhance the impact of the site, Dick also asks that you help him

publicize it by linking to it and spreading the word.
