OK, I'm at a wake-n-bake status right now with my Honey, and this just popped into my head.
LITTER!
Yes, litter. Make up some posters with an image of Al Capone and the words "Prohibition. It hasn't worked yet." and then underneath some modern gangsters and / or terrorists and in smaller print: legalize freedom / legalize all plants. Fire it up at 4:20 pm on April 20th.
And just leave it at that.
If you get tongues wagging, and interests piqued, and we get enough of 'em out there, it'll make the news, radio talk shows, local gossip circuit, etc.
I was involved with corporate marketing for years, and believe me, when it comes to slogans and what-not: LESS IS MORE. (of course this rule is totally opposite in terms of distribution.)
Unfortunately the economy took a big shit on my life, otherwise I'd be offering help. However, if you have the ways and means to produce said promo materials, I can get them out there for you in the following locations:
um, second thought, we can figure out a way to private message that information. But I can assure you, I'm willing and able to cover about 500 square miles of public places myself. I have friends all over the U.S. of whom I love and trust and would do the same for their area.
(sorry: I'm trying to be not too terribly specific on my exact location)
Another easy way for free press is to utilize any and all "call-in" radio shows. Anything from A.M. shock jocks to NPR. ( I am guilty of this.)
If you begin the conversation with whatever they're already discussing, charm your way into this project of ours eventually, and BAM: you've got hundreds of thousands of listeners either laughing or agreeing with you. One thing is for certain, they WILL repeat it to someone else, weather they think you're a genius or full of shit, they will go into work or sit at their local bar or chat with their roomie and tell them about it.
Another effective and cost efficient method of marketing is to distribute the printed materials all over a busy airport. Of course you'll have a proper name or acronym for the movement, and then have that name paged several times over the intercom throughout the day. People will glance at the flyers. Then, when they hear it again on the intercom, they tend to pay more attention and will more likely keep and re-distribute the flyer in whatever city / country they happen to be flying into. I've done this in the past also, (not with MJ movements) and it works beautifully.
The word WILL get out, combine that with printed materials, honey: it's on. Something will happen.
LET ME KNOW! I AM EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROSPECT!
Stay Well: Marijuana Momma :yippee:
This idea seems as effective as any, bravo. Once a collective effort to finalize a slogan is made a digital graphic can be posted that all users can print from their own computer. If the support of a print shop can be procured in anyoneâ??s area=mass produce. Since millions of dick wags do blanket emails, why cant we. As many members here, it would take very little time to contact as many other cannabis sites and advise them as well. Solicit silk screen printers for hats and t-shirts with logo and date of action.Quote:

I am willing to do as much as I can. A thread of commitments and tasks they will handle would be useful as well. Pot is known for enhancing creativity so "BRING IT" people. Also...there has got to be a way to gain the support of the "Giants of the movement" Mark Emery....etc...long list there. Youtube, myspace....
Thanks mjmomma!
Check the slogan thread for my other ideas and post yours there too!
Ok So I was just thinking.
We need to appoint people for certain things. We need a head person for each country or even state.
We need someone for videos and graphics. Someone who knows how to spam e-mails and people who can spam mail boxes (anyone with time, really).
I can do the graphics. We might need someone else too.
Then a couple for videos. So who is capable of making those?
Take your time, but if you can sufficiently cover an area (mainly cities, probably, for obvious reasons) post it here like this.
Username: midnighttoker
City/State: Tokesville
No. Of people (working together to cover this area): 4
That's all I can think of that we need right now.
LCD: Great, organization. Was thinking that also! Kinda hard to do on net, however, it is mostly preferred. I attend meetings and next month I'll talk to our man in charge for ideas and help. He knows some peeps with a lot of name recognition. He actually had a cultivator show up and you'd never believe the rest. Seeing people speak with compassion on subject really fires you up.
Since I was the first to get confused with 'slogans' and ideas: Is there a way to place both in the same area or under signatures? I is no PC wizard, at all.
I know we have members here with some great connections also. Not to mention, ones that most likely would be great in helping, if nothing else, ideas.
mjmomma: Excellent- never thot of that, we have a cannabis radio and TV show, but to local. Your ideas just rock. Even better than what our local group is doing!!! Reminds me of Rebgirl talking to politicians campaigning (anyone heard from her)?
cannakeeper: Really great (EXCELLENT)ideas and as the others, enough to move others forward with great ideas.
Organization is helpful to prevent duplication, waste of effort and $!!!
Mission Statement; Simple-do we just want to blaize one time or other ideas to keep it going until it is legal.
Many of us will be speaking at City Council meeting Tues. But, only effects cities in a State of 420/215 that is already in middle of game. Wanting it for all at anytime, like an aspirin in your med. cabinet takes a long pre-preplanned effort.
People are afraid. And we need some guidelines with a Sundance you can talk to, like cannacom: keep it cool headed, make it fun instead of fearful, everyone likes a party. No one likes jail.
I am amazed at the really young that have more hope than we could have had in the '60's and 70's. And willing to promote cause. right now is a good time! Prices are too high and this would drive them down.
I think I'll read up on the prohibition of alcohol. Since, it is worse and it was overturned, may find out more. But, they were killing, etc.
Loose thot: Micheal Phelps for poster boy! A person that can achieve more than A-rod with steroids by using cannabis. Mut be a message there. P/R
I for one was proud he did not say, "its' my first time!" :thumbsup:
phatesh101: re-read your idea and it was so familiar to me, I let it slip thru my mind. Yet, it sticks and has the same hook, we are all familiar with. How can we tweak it for mmj? I love it! P/R
Once we have a few basics settled, especially the slogan. We'll need a conference like IM or something to discuss it. And set dates, etc! Sounds like you all know how to do that. Set up commitees thru it. Think we'll have to use another site to do it.
OHH!!! how about starting a club or group like the cultivators, etc? Anyone can do??? I think I've read in some that they are doing it.
Has to stay on the Home Forum as LCD has been doing--good work dude! It definitely kept my eye on it until I decided to involve myself. When I go in for one I go in for all!
Reminding people: Talk if free and you cannot go to jail for it!! Yep, you may fear they will look you up. But, I really believe we are either small bananas or people have discretion to a fine art. So, we need a few of those. Not all should have the same ideas and some for debate, to make sure we think of it all!
Right now, my little T-shirt that says "Get Legal" right above my tits is all I have! P/R
Haha, well that will get people to look at least!Quote:

Basically this is the thread for thinking of ideas that we can use, such as t-shirts, worldwide smoking sesh (420 worldwide in public basically), your airport ideas, radio call-ins promoting what we're doing etc.
The other thread called slogans is for thinking of slogans to put on t-shirts posters etc.
I looked through the "post your art" thread and I think the level of talent here is more than sufficient to put a logo to paper. I also posted some of mine there as well. I have sketched countless biz logo's and tatoos so I would be happy to help there along with all who would contribute. I'll look for the slogan thread and post a few of my ideas.
Painretreat....the t-shirt comment...can you hear the roar of applause over here? A snug t-shirt over a nice rack!! In the right setting I think that would get the message across better than a giant roadside billboard. My girl has a 34 DD billboard with free rental space just waiting on the logo/slogan. I"ll be the East Regional Rack Requisitioner, tough job but someone has to step up. lol
LMAO cannakeeper
I just found this, not sure if we're doing a traditional rally yet but https://cannabis.community.forums.oz...4&#entry215783
Good info, would be awesome if an identical rally could be formed at the same time all across the country, hell..reach high...across the world. Bigtime organizational skillz required.Quote:
