Be sure to come by the site on occasion and see what new events we have coming up, including our Members Mixer in early November and while out and about town or at any of our events, be sure to check out the Austin 420 Truth Car, the 2nd in what we hope will be an eventually fleet of freedom fighting vehicles across the US. Big thanks to Jamie Spencer for sponsoring this car and David Sloane and DFW NORML for the original idea and their own DFW 420 Truth Car! Hope to see you all at the events over the next few months and as always, Peace and Good Buds.
