Dear Carl:

Thanks for sending this information, which I reviewed this morning. I also want to apologize for my slow response to your letter of inquiry (LOI). The delay was caused in part because we spent time reevaluating our interest in using grant funds to support efforts that seek to make it possible for marijuana to be used for religious purposes.

I regret to inform you that the grants program administered by the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) did not approve your letter of inquiry, and it is unlikely that we would fund your proposal. While we are of course supportive of your efforts, we have determined that the likelihood of your success with this litigation -- even with MPP grant funding -- is very small. A relative, but necessary determination given limited grant funds.

Additionally, we have decided to remove "Litigating for the Right to Use Marijuana for Religious Purposes" from our list of requests for proposals.

Sincerely,

Stephanie Vogel
Director of Grants and Outreach
