Sensible Washington: "On Inevitability"

Sensible Washington:

We’d like to thank NORML Show Live for giving Washington State airtime at the National Conference in Denver this afternoon. Sensible Washington is making an audacious bid to qualify an initiative for the ballot and, if possible, without using paid signature gatherers. Collecting signatures from 8% of the voting public couldn’t possibly happen on its own. Could it?

Sensible Washington operates without directors, but everyone gets to be a producer. We kicked off a 4/20 money bomb and only raised $600. We collected upwards of 5,000 signatures that day.
