The Buffalo Cannabis Movement is an American grass roots organization based in Buffalo whose aim is to move public opinion sufficiently to achieve the legalization of non-medical marijuana in the United States so that the responsible use of cannabis by adults is no longer subject to penalty. BCM's mission aligns with NORML's mission of "support() the removal of all criminal penalties for the private possession and responsible use of marijuana by adults, including the cultivation for personal use, and the casual nonprofit transfers of small amounts," and "support() the development of a legally controlled market for cannabis." The group in 2015 rallied in front of Buffalo City Hall for the 420 Cannabis Holiday and is now planning a 2016 event〔http://www.420freedomfest.com/〕 in Delaware Park. ==History== BCM was founded in 2014 as the Buffalo Marijuana Movement having first drafted the 2014 bill "The Buffalo Marijuana Act".〔http://www.716cannabis.com/our-mission.html〕 Since then, the organization has played a central role in the cannabis movement in Buffalo. The organization is growing grassroots movement with members ranging from stay-at-home parents, and veterans, to academics of higher education, and members of the medical industry. BCM holds monthly public meetings as well as as needed committee meeting. In spring 2015, the group voted to change their name from marijuana to cannabis due to connotations of the term including anti-Mexican sentiments from the 1930s and the more recent racist "new jim crow" history behind the term.〔 Criticisms of the NYS compassionate care act and its implementation lead the group to draft a new bill, The Buffalo Medical Cannabis Act, that would expand up the NYS law which they believe would be more successful. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Buffalo Cannabis Movement」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
