About.Welcome to Citizens for Public Safety, Quality of Life, and Protection of Property Values. As communities across the country face the devastating impacts of marijuana in their communities, we as citizens are standing up and pushing back.
|
Our PurposeThe purpose of Citizens for Public Safety, Quality of Life and protection of Property Values is to engage, mobilize, train, and inform citizens on how to recognize and deal with the impacts of medical marijuana and marijuana legalization in their communities. Developing collaborative partnerships with drug policy officials to help develop safe drug policies is also a high priority of this movement.
|
Our GoalCitizen leaders will learn how to: provide public testimony to help change laws; develop educational programs which will help transform and mobilize communities; create regulations that protect communities from marijuana grows and facilities; and develop safe drug policy regulations for their community with their local drug policy officials who are responsible for the development of such zoning ordinances and guidelines.

Shirley Morgan - Directing Safe Drug Policy
A marketing and advertising consultant by day, Ms. Morgan gathered business, civic, and faith leaders—and her neighbors. Together, they reached the bold conclusion that with some help from law enforcement, they could drive off the drug dealers in their midst. Today she is the founder and organizer for the Mt. Hood Coalition against Drug Crime a grassroots community group that has managed more than 185 members and 18 committees.
In addition to radically changing the climate in the Mount Hood region an unincorporated rural community in Clackamas County, Oregon, Ms. Morgan is poised to take her lessons on the road and travels the nation training and assisting coalitions on their effectiveness.
Ms. Morgan is also the founder for the Oregonian’s Against Legalization of Marijuana, a grassroots community group that was successful in November of 2004 and 2010 in Oregon defeating measures that would have required local government agencies to open pot dispensaries, and then again in November of 2012 defeating a measure that would have legalized marijuana.
Ms. Morgan is also the founder and facilitator of the Citizens for Public Safety, Quality of Life, and protecting of Property Values, a national movement dedicated to developing processes that build collaborative partnerships and bridges between citizens and drug policy officials that encourage safe drug policy. Ms. Morgan provides consulting, training, and speaking regarding the importance of citizens standing up and pushing back against the impacts of marijuana in relation to public safety, quality of life, and protection of property values. Ms. Morgan has worked both nationally and internationally.
