merockstar it’s nice to hear that people exist who are not working for money only but In fact they wish to work for society not for money. The problem is that many people claim to be the fund raisers for a good cause but after they attain donations they either do corruption by hiding some big donation or charge excessive administration cost. So your reliability?

I can vouch for MPP.  They have been around for almost 20 years now and are by far the largest pro marijuana legalization lobbying group in America. I've been a donating member with them for about 17 years now and am constantly amazed with the huge role they have had in getting medical marijuana legalized in 18 states in america during that time period and now recreationally legal in 2 states with about 9-10 other states in position to do the same in the next 1-4 years.   Obviously they arent the sole reason this trend has been happening but a lot of these state laws that have passed MPP had a large role in getting the law promoted if not outright helping draft the law themselves.  In addition the numberous magazine, tv, radio, billboard ads and campaigns they have run across america.

They are legit and not only legit but very well ran and have actually delivered quite well on their goals especially considering how anti marijuana politicians and local/federal governments were (and still can be) just 20 years ago when MPP was first founded.

If marijuana is legalized any where in the states it's simply because the gvt feels they want to try it out for awhile, not because of some pathetic lobby group.

Wow just  like one month ago I was planning on contacting MPP and providing them with some slides and documents on why they should accept bitcoin and the benefits of doing so.  Then I got lazy and forgot about it (no pun intended).

Always weird when you think about something random like that about a random organization and then a few weeks later it actually happens haha.  Anyways, that's great news. Good for them!

It's especially great for smaller transactions. A lot of younger people who may not have access to credit cards or bank accounts could very well be interested in still donating something less than $5 in which case bitcoin is a great option if not the best option.

It's not me. It's Marijuana Policy Project.

They're divided into two groups, a political lobby, and a non-profit dedicated to educating the public.

They do most of their work on the state level in the United States.

They spearheaded the successful initiative to legalize in Colorado    http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/out-of-state-money-funded-push-to-pass-amendment-64-and-legalize-marijuana-in-colorado

They managed to get a dude to appear on The Today Show  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gga7IZxBwbA

And they seem to have a constantly evolving, comprehensive enough for me at least, plan in place to further legalization, which you can read about at www.mpp.org  


I'm not mpp. I'm just someone who donates to them occasionally.

If you're saying MPP might not be the group they appear to be, I'd like to know more.

I've been an mpp supporter for quite some time. They're the marijuana lobby that has, in my opinon, helped to bring about the recent victories in the field of marijuana legalization.

Several weeks ago I sent them an e-mail suggest they accept donations in bitcoin, and to my astonishment, they did it, and wrote back to thank me for pointing this out to them!

You should all go show them some love. If you have the extra coin.
