Natonal Protest April 20th, 2006

[Frickr]

Everyone, the time has come, where a day needs to be set, where everyone that smokes pot, blieves that it should be legal, stands up for our right, to change laws. The only way we can do this, is if everyone stands up and shows our government what the people really want. The way to do this, is the tried and tested way of a non-violent protest. Let everyone stand up, smoke up, openly in public. If you are arested, take the sentence peacefully, and when the jails are overflowing, and half the country is arrested for smoking pot, or bleiveing that it should be legal, then the laws will be lifted, people will be set free, not just out of jail, but freedom to do be free, in our 'free' country, we have lost sight of what it takes to get things changed around. The last person, was yes shot, but his message is still carried on today, laws were passed when he spoke, he was arrested, but still, was non violent. And his speach "I have a dream!" touched many lives. Well my friend, I Too, have a dream, a dream that Americans are free, to grow, and smoke as they please, are free to be able to change the laws they disagree with, are FREE to let people be a voice again.


So what i ask from everyone, is to spread the word, preach the goods, flatten the myths, and rise up as a voice, and on 4-20-06 Protest as a voice, let the voice spread, till the word is accepted by the government. the laws a re lifted, and people are again FREE!


Ideas, comments, reply to this thread. Thoughts be heard, Voices spread.

And i will be setting up a webpage for this, so the message is spread even further aT WWW.ANGELFIRE.COM/REBELLION2.NATIONALPROTEST.COM (http://www.angelfire.com/rebellion2/nationalprotest)

you realize that in order to get weed legalized, casualties will definitely be made.
In order to legalize, America will have to go through a dejavou scene of Malcom X protest, riots on the streets, and police brutallity.
My dream is that we all go to washington dc, stand in front of the white house and light our fuckin' bowls.
If that were to happen, cops would come and we would have to resist, which equals someone getting hurt.
If we are going to trully fight for this cause, people WILL DIE for this cause.
In order for the nation to be influenced by us, it's a fact that we will have to resist police brutallity.

[Frickr]

yes, its true for everything, i know, but we have to be as non-violent as possible, im saying that we cant just go out and start shooting people, to get it legalized, we must go about it as a group, do as much as we can, within limits, to get it legalized. but if you want want stuff to be legalized, your going to have to stand up, sitting on our asses, just gets us a little fatter, and a little older, so lets get out, and show the government that people can still make decisions, and we arent just a bunch of dumb hippies, that smoke pot, eat alot, and are lazy slobs, by standing up, we show that we are more of a voice, then just a loose association that has ideas of oneday being able to walk down the street, joint in hand. But if we stand strong as a group, alot more is going to be changed, thats the point im trying to make! I want people to start standing up for what they blieve in, instead of just letting people walk all over them.

IM THERE AT THE LONDON MARCH ;)

thanks for bringing this to our attention

[CGB1013]

Of course the government isn't going to throw a million people in jail. But the big question is, how many are willing to stand up and be counted?

[Frickr]

thats just it, if noone stands up, it wont seem important, but if everyone in the nation that blazes, or feels it should be legalized stands up, all at once, does whatever they can to get it there, some things are going to have to change

[daves19]

you can be sure i'll be there at each manifest... living in canada is an easy thing, our leaders are open minded but don't want to show it to Mr. Bush of course, so we don't even have to think about cops brutality...

[SamsonSimpson]

ill be at one of the ones here in florida. if anyone else is in florida, message me and we can all start planning a place here in fl

[Not Enough Herb]

this is a dam good idea

we need a commercial or some kind of media message. tell all stoners that 4/20/06 is the year we stand up for what we believe in

we need it to tell everyone to grab your bowls and blaze, dont be afraid of the police, they can't put everyone and jail nor do they want to. A lot of stoners are valued members of the community

this could so work we just need to unite on 420

later

[Tholiak]

Stoners are in general too lazy to protest.

[miraz]

[daves19]

[Miss Green]

your posts are in general of no interest...have good fatty one for me will ya! :stoned:
Now you have taken the words right out of my mouth!I think it's a good idea to have a protest and get cannabis legalize.hey does it make you lazy tholiak? :cool: :stoned: :stoned:

[heavymetal101]

I would love to help stand up against the laws on weed but i'm not willing to get into any interactions with any cops right now. It's mainly becuase i'm not quite 18 yet and also i have been trying to aviod cops all my life i couldnt just so easily go and get arrested for that!! I wish but sadly nope.

[Frickr]

The major start has started. With it legalized in Denver, we just need to keep going, and get it acrost the country! And pass the joints from one side of the country to the other. Its protected in the constitution that we have the right to protest under the 1st Amendment! So lets get out there, and fight this shit! Now who the hell is with me?

[Chondo]

shit im' with you. 4/20/06... we need to make some banners for websites or something, get it started

[daves19]

i"m in for sure, got to keep this actvism forum alive, spreading ideas slogan...dismentling anti-pot propaganda would be a good start, you know like "protect our youth" thing...Like if telling lies would protect children...I say there is only 3 way to get things done: hire somebody, do it yourself, or forbid your kids to do it...
So if you forbid them to smoke pot, guess what will happen! I don't say to encourage them, but leave the leaves alone! If you don't talk about in the media, kids won't bother looking for it, most of them are smoking only because they know they are doing something they are not "suposed to"...I started smoking at 14 and i am 19 :stoned: :stoned: ...i am not even fully employed yet (6 month probation ) and am making $35000 :dance: , so i don't think pot is destroying our youth, it surely gives them access to their sub consciousness MAYBE too soon, but tell me, what is really bad into that???

It is only bad for our "leaders"...


BTW, by kids i mean like 12-13 year old and less...

[amsterdam]

all your screaming and crying isn't going to do anything but make yourself feel better. If you think a protest outside the white house with a bunch a silly kids who want pot legalized is gonna change anything your crazy.You will just slow the movement by making it look not credible.

It needs to be people with wasting illness,lawyers,doctors and the like who protest.Legalize it for medicinal reasons first and foremost and the rest will fall in to place.

[lemonboy]

Yes, only the "credible" may protest. I propose some kind of national agency where we weed out those unworthy of free speech. We'll call this saving grace... The Bush Administration.

If you don't like what someone else is saying, cover your ears.

you are the best for screaming and crying...sometimes the greatest mind need to evolve from the weakest...so doing nothing is also worthless...but if you read well through the net, a lot of those doctors lawyers and all that bunch are writing documents about the good legalizing would do...still nothing changes so the whole community must wake somehow...and i don't know if you smoke but it's not only silly kids protesting about it...yes there are some but like in any manif...so stop posting stupid demoralizing comments, you're not helping neither...

[amsterdam]

why would I be here if I didn't smoke??

anyway,all the protesting thats been done has been largly in-effective hasn't it. Perhaps it's time to try something a little different. I want marijuana to be legal as much as anyone believe me. I just think alot of those marches and protests make the movement look childish and irresponsible. Think about it.

[Frickr]

How did any of the major changes in our country happen? They happend when there was a majority of the people supporting it, and doing what they can to make sure the laws that are needed are passed. By waiting for the next person do do something, whats going to stop the person after you to do the same. If we all speak out as one voice, and work togeather, not as a bunch of kids, but as an organization to speak out against the laws in effect today, alot more can come then if we let "the next person do it"
It is going to take time, yes, but our government needs a kick in the ass sometimes to get shit done, and let this be the kick in the ass, and a step in the right dirrection. I think the most influential people out there is the voice of the young adults. We are going to be the ones running the country, shouldnt it be us that get the laws in effect so that our kids, and future generations can thrive from them?
And let this not be just another small organization, let this be like a country, and each of the little organizations out there, annex themselves in, join forces, and lets press ideas around, there still is plenty of time till everything takes place, so let this be the time to get things planned out, and let the voice spread.
I like the ideas that are coming up, and i like the support i am getting for this idea, but i feel things are still on to small of a scale. If there is anyone that is good at creating a webpage, contact me at [email protected], send me some work, and lets get a webpage going, I am lacking time to do it myself, so the help will be greatly appriciated.
Five more months, Lets see how much we can get out to the people, And Please Get The Word Out, and do your part in your community to support this.

Okay, so what about creating an organization with this web site, that is cannabis.com... i mean we all want, somehow, pot to be legal or decriminalize, or people not to go to jail for simple posession...Like there is a lot of us that are not child anymore and we live in several countrys around the world...
i will try to make a suggestion to the admisnistrator, not sure if it will be of any interest...will post my feedback in a new thread for those interested... :dance:

[beachguy in thongs]

It's an awesome idea. The problem is that the first police officer to see me will have no choice but to charge me with it, and I can't afford a "second offense" charge. This is something I just found...notice that it says 1979.

Virginia Lawbooks
§ 18.2-250.1. Possession of marijuana unlawful.

A. It is unlawful for any person knowingly or intentionally to possess marijuana unless the substance was obtained directly from, or pursuant to, a valid prescription or order of a practitioner while acting in the course of his professional practice, or except as otherwise authorized by the Drug Control Act (§ 54.1-3400 et seq.).

Upon the prosecution of a person for violation of this section, ownership or occupancy of the premises or vehicle upon or in which marijuana was found shall not create a presumption that such person either knowingly or intentionally possessed such marijuana.

Any person who violates this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and be confined in jail not more than thirty days and a fine of not more than $500, either or both; any person, upon a second or subsequent conviction of a violation of this section, shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.

B. The provisions of this section shall not apply to members of state, federal, county, city or town law-enforcement agencies, jail officers, or correctional officers, as defined in § 53.1-1, certified as handlers of dogs trained in the detection of controlled substances when possession of marijuana is necessary for the performance of their duties.

(1979, c. 435; 1991, c. 649; 1998, c. 116.)

And after realizing medical marijuana has been legal since 1979, they changed it.

[Frickr]

You dont have to be smoking pot to be protesting it. There is many other ways to get the message accrost, but as long as if its an act of protest, you are protected under the consitution.
