[13] In 1996, in the final weeks of the campaign (after the money came in and he was hired to do so), Conrad became the signature-gathering coordinator for the volunteer effort to pass California's Proposition 215, the initiative which would go on to make the state the first in the US to legalize the medical use of marijuana.

Launched at the Fort Mason Center in San Francisco on June 24, 1995, for the 50th Anniversary the United Nations, the exhibit was put in context of the UN's Declaration on Human Rights.

The grand opening presented a program called, "Give Drug Peace a Chance," that included Ram Dass, Paul Krassner, Jello Biafra, Ngaio Bealum, New Riders of the Purple Sage, and Terence Hallinan.

They toured with this exhibit for many years, creating smaller excerpted displays that were shown at libraries, universities, conferences, and events under the name "Human Rights and the Drug War."

[18] In 2001, Conrad and Norris received the Drug Policy Alliance's Robert C. Randall Award for Achievement in the Field of Citizen Action, along with collaborator Virginia Resner, Randy Credico of the William Moses Kunstler Fund for Racial Justice and Nora Callahan of the November Coalition.
