I want to get signatures!

[choppile420]

So I was wondering if it was possible to start a Petition for either legalizing marijuana or decriminalizing it. I live in a county of about 25,000 people, and I was wondering how many signatures I would have to collect to start a movement in the area. Like would it be around 2000-5000 or even more? No matter how many I would like to start collecting them soon. Please give me your opinion on the matter. Peace.

I dont have any advice or words of wisdom for you but I admire you for wanting to do this. This is something that I have been thinking about myself. Although I would love to make a difference like say, Marc Emery but Im too paranoid about brining attention to myself with me growing and all. Im really not up to par on politics and current issues I follow what I can but most of it just bores me, but you dont need anyones signature to start a movement start and people will follow. Good luck in anything that you might choose to do.

This is good. Try and find a NORML group or an MPP group. If you can't find a group try to form your own group with a few friends. You should focus mainly on recruiting in the beginning. Also do voter registration drives. You will probably need a membership fee to cover expenses. The last thing you should focus on is finding an attorney to join your group or get in contact with MPP, NORML, or DPA for legal advice. Having a local attorney to help out would be best. If you having any more questions I would be gald to help. I don't have any experience but i have always been interested in politics and the legalization movement. Also may I ask what state you are in?? I don't want to know the county b/c you never know who is watching. Good luck and I hope you bring the gift of justice to marijuana.

I live in Iowa, its shitty to, probably the most boring state around. But thanks a lot for the advice!! I never even thought about contacting a bigger group. I also actually have heard about a lawyer in my county whos been arrested for marijuana, and "messing around with official acts". The cop had pulled a kid over during the winter, and the kid didnt have a coat, so the lawyer asked the cop to let him put on a coat, and the cop arrested him. Stupid faggot...:mad: But yeah maybe i could contact him at some point. You wouldnt happen to know how i could contact a group like NORML would you? Thanks a shit ton to both of you. :stoned:

Good work wanting to get involved in the decriminalization movement. One suggestion though: there are thousands of gay and transgendered people who would sign your petition, so watch the homophobic slurs.;)
