It's COMMUNITY YARD SALE DAY IN STRASBURG!. so many yard sales!!.. .All over the 'burg!

Come get everything you never knew you needed!

Good morning cannabis warriors!! Lt Gov John Fetterman will make his listening tour stop in Lancaster Monday Mar. 18th at the Ware Center 6pm. Please please please..join us and let your solidarity shine!..see you there!

Regarding last night's City Council meeting, please watch see thru city around minutes 33-45 to catch the entirety of the debate. Link below.

With your permission, members of Lancaster NORML and based on guidance from a council member that the recommendation/ask for $25 was received as "too low" along with the proposed changes to the community service hours.

To wit, I'm proposing the following modification as a show of our willingness to negotiate, while also seeking to educate the ignorant, comfort the fearful and ultimately engage in a meaningful and rational dialogue around ma*****na.

Please feel free to comment below whether you are comfortable with or have anything to add to the following even if there is need to postpone the vote in order to get the changes made.

Key among these are the inclusion of a recommendation from City Council and the Mayor that the least punitive charge be levied on simple possession and use cases instead of the vague "police officer judgment" stance.

Second, I will be revisiting the ask to include: $35 x2 offenses, higher than a basic parking ticket, but not as onerous as $75. Since people seemed to enjoy the stratified approach to the third offense, I'll negotiate to $50. For the community service portion, I'm willing to back down to 7-8 hours to avoid a citizen having to miss an entire day of work.

For the advanced third charge, looking to increase the service hours to 11-12 maximum.

Reminder! Tomorrow evening, City Council reviews the proposed decrim legislation. Please come show your support.

Wear green, make a public statement at the meeting, bring signs that show your support.
