The Robert C. Randall Award for Achievement in the Field of Citizen Action

Robert C. Randall pioneered the medical marijuana issue in America. A model citizen activist who took on the federal government, assisted in the defense of people accused of criminal offenses involving marijuana and worked to change the entire federal prohibition against marijuna's medical use. Citizen action is at the heart of a successful democracy. The Robert C. Randall Award honors those citizens who make democracy work in the difficult area of drug law and policy reform.
