====== From the Seki (LI80) ======

At the end of March 2018, I have now been working exclusively for our association for **five years** again, an intensive time! I have been able to experience many interesting things, but also had to take note of many**abysses of repression** against hemp consumption.

The 80th issue of our Legalize it! is already the fifth issue, which was again produced in **offset printing**. I am glad that we have dared to do this and that we have managed to do it. The last year in self-printing - unimaginable.

Now we have completed the first year with four people on the board. This Legalize it! is entirely devoted to the minutes of the 2018 **Association meeting**. Quite a bit of activity went on and we booked quite a bit of finances, as you can see in the 2017 financial **statement**. 

We will not publish this information in June, as we had initially planned, but immediately after the association meeting. Therefore we postpone the 11th edition **Shit happens** to the 2nd quarter of 2018.

We are also postponing the start of the **initiative** - numerous additional forces would like to support this project and this requires the establishment of a neutral vessel. More on this also in the LI80.

The **CannaTrade** will take place from April 27 to 29, 2018, again with a Legalize it! booth. Helpers for this are very welcome.

Over the **spring holidays** I will take a few days off, see also the information in our agenda.

Now I'm excited to see what we can do in our second year as a four-person board!
