We are a Registered Student Organization (RSO) of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, dedicated to opposing cannabis prohibition and educating the UMass community about the cannabis plant. In the fall of 1999, we supported a petition drive to put a referendum on the state ballot which redirects people arrested for drug possession to treatment instead of jail, and amends the search-and-seizure laws; this ballot question will be voted on in the November election. In the spring of 2000 the town of Amherst, through a CRC-supported initiative, voted to ask the town police to deprioritize enforcement of marijuana laws against persons of or over 18 years of age. Additionally, in April we hold an annual festival, the Extravaganja, which has in past years attracted over 2000 attendees.
