The “Radical” Russ Marijuana States of America Map is available as a poster in sizes from 10″x10″ to 18″x18″. You can get it from my shop website at RadRuss.com.
Lori’s SONORML establishment was next door to the federal building in Medford, Oregon. The operational models she and other activists across the state created became the blueprint for the bill to create Oregon’s first medical marijuana dispensaries in the pre-legalization era.
This is just the simple medical marijuana and recreational marijuana map, updated in April 2023 for the addition of Delaware. Soon, I’ll have to update it for Minnesota.
I know all y’all don’t see how the pendulum could ever swing back now on marijuana legalization. But I have very good friends in marijuana legalization who were certain it would be legal by 1980. I also remember well how ubiquitous cigarette smoking used to be, and not a single cigarette smoker was arrested to make it the huge taboo it is today.
Back when marijuana was strictly illegal, when the mere smell of it would draw police attention, when simply being caught in possession of it meant immediate arrest, there was a proliferation of illegal weed stores in New York City. But now, when the smell and possession of weed is legal, law enforcement’s going to really crack down.

I used to be a Twitter power user (22K followers), but since Elon Musk turned it into a Nazi pub, I then migrated to Threads, until Mark Zuckerberg began throttling political speech and forced me off that, Facebook, and Instagram.

I’m also on Mastodon, kinda, and YouTube with our live stream and video archive.
