Probably shouldn't have let the group start.

That group existed way back when I was a student in the early 1980's.

Weed and college? Together?!? I am outraged.

I would never touch the stuff. Did have an asthma attack from smelling it in a stairwell in Towers once.

is it allowed because ISU sponsors the group? who determines which groups are sponsored? I can't imagine anyone can use trademarks on shirts whenever they want. What's the back-story?

I was a member of NORML years ago but I hated going to the meetings because they were boring and the hippie who held the meetings let his dogs crap all over his house. Even stoned I couldn't stand the stench of the dude's house.

Looks like the University approved the design back in 2010:

In October 2010, a shirt design that read NORML on the front with the ISU mascot Cy as the O and the phrase "Freedom is NORML at ISU" on the back with a marijuana leaf above NORML was submitted. The shirt was approved and met the standards of the ISU trademark office at the time.

But that is in regards to this shirt:

So now I don't know which design was/wasn't approved.

From the article

Even though the university approved the group’s original design that incorporated the mascot and a marijuana leaf, Leath and the others blocked it claiming it violated the school’s trademark policy after getting pressure from conservative lawmakers and an appointee of Republican Gov. Terry Branstad who saw a story about the group’s planned T-shirt in a Des Moines Register article.

I'm kind of surprised it was initially approved but it looks like their argument was that the process of ISU changing their minds was against the usual process.

My wife says I'm too old wear an ISU Norml shirt. Think I will hoot a bone to celebrate anyway.

I wouldn't have a problem with Iowa making as much money as Colorado has the past few years.

1.3 BILLION dollars, pretty crazy what we could do as a state with all that money.
