Quietly in the month of January, all Missouri NORML chapters voted to support Initiative Petition (IP) 2020-128. To date, the best argument for doing so has been; “IP 2020-128 has the best chance of passing” and “IP 2020-128 is well funded.” I find the move rather dis-heartening due to the fact that the current scoring …
