Marijuana Policy Project Survey: 50 Most Influential Marijuana Users of 2012

Earlier in July the MPP Blog (Marijuana Policy Project) reported that the organization opened up the process of selecting the Top 50 Most Influential Marijuana Users of 2012 to all of us by simply commenting in on the MPP blog entry.  Rather than just produce a list, they really want to get our input on who should be considered for the 2012 Top 50 Most Influential Marijuana Users.

I just received an email from MPP that stated the list is compiled and the voting is on, so GO VOTE!

Dear Supporter,

As you may have read on our blog, the Marijuana Policy Project is putting together our first annual “Top 50 Most Influential Marijuana Users” list, and we want your input to determine who makes the final cut.

We’re not looking to make a list of the most popular marijuana users, nor are we looking to finalize a list of marijuana users who are the most supportive of marijuana policy reform.

Instead, we’re looking for people who are influential — even if they’re bad guys.  To determine this, we’re borrowing the great definition that Out Magazine uses for their “Power 50” list of LGBT Americans.

When you vote, we want you to choose the individuals who have the “power to influence cultural and social attitudes, political clout, individual wealth, and a person’s media profile.”

In case you were wondering, in order to qualify for the list, the individual must:

1) have used marijuana at least once;
2) be alive; and
3) must be living in the U.S. or be a U.S. citizen

Voting is now open, so please cast your vote today!

Voting will be open until August 13th, so be sure to get your selections in before then, and invite your friends and family to vote, too.  We’ll be releasing the final list to the news media in late August.

Thanks for your participation,

Rob Kampia
