Northern Wisconsin NORML and Canna Travel Announces
Joint State Tour to Washington and Oregon
Appleton/Milwaukee—June 16, 2015 — Northern Wisconsin NORML and Canna Travel have announced the immediate availability of a trip planned to the states of Washington and Oregon. The “Joint State Tour” offers something for all cannabis consumers.
This trip is also part of joint fundraising efforts between the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) and the regional chapter Northern Wisconsin NORML. Participants will travel with long time activist Jay Selthofner (NORML Jay) and meet with National NORML leaders while on the trip. This tour is enabling consumers throughout the Upper Mid-West the opportunity of experiencing a legal marijuana market while in Oregon and Washington.
“Industrial Hemp for food, fuel and fiber in addition to the benefits of medical marijuana, multiplied by the recreational market potentials; the issue of cannabis reform touches us all. This trip offers an unique opportunity to travel as a group to experience some of what the nation is all up in a buzz about” stated Jay Selthofner, Founder of Northern Wisconsin NORML.
Positive Customer Impact
Many patients from all lifestyles suffering from cancer, glaucoma, alzheimer’s, HIV/AIDS, Cachexia (wasting syndrome), severe pain, severe nausea, epilepsy, seizures, muscle spasms, multiple sclerosis and PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) have already benefited from participating in the medical marijuana programs. With prohibition of marijuana ending, states are compiling positive data in multiple areas, tax revenues are being collected, and consumers are participating in a safer legal market.
Availability
This will be a 3 night, 2-day recreational, educational and medical travel event. The event is planned for Friday, November 6th through Monday, November 9th, 2015.

Wisconsin reform organizations, working together, have worked to set up this goal.
We hope to gain your support in working towards putting up a billboard in the Waukesha/Brookfield/West Allis area, near districts of Sen Vukmir and Sen Lazich.
Medical Marijuana is supported by a majority of Wisconsin voters, but this medicine is being blocked by politicians. Patients are needlessly suffering. Your donation can make a big difference.
The primary goal is to put pressure on politicians who are against medical cannabis, and this is a very prominent spot for billboards, near two committee member districts. A secondary goal is to have residual effect on 2014 elections.
To achieve this goal, we are hoping to top $7500 through crowdfunding. We hope to run the billboard for 4-6 weeks before the November 2014 election.
We hope you will donate to this campaign.
The billboard will be digital, present a picture of Lazich and Vukmir with text of “Who is stopping medical cannabis in Wisconsin? Sen Lazich is… Sen Vukmir is…” It will have reference to SB363.
Your donations will be matched so donate now to double your dollars Click here to donate.
