DECRIMINALIZE MARIJUANA. I have been an outspoken
activist for decriminalization of marijuana for the past 10 years. I helped revive Wisconsin NORML as a member of
the legal steering committee and I'm an active member of National NORML. I advocate the decriminalization of marijuana
and I welcome cases that bring the issue to the forefront of the legal system.

Kirk Obear. They are intended only as examples of past successful casework and are not intended to be an indication of
