Don't stop at just writing to Congress.
Each person we get to actually sit down and watch Hemp For Victory is one more person that will most likely join our cause.
Who would argue against legalizing marijuana when we show them proof that the US Federal government legalized "Marihuana" to support our troops during World War 2?
Many Americans don't care about stoners, that's why they don't vote to legalize weed. But if we show them what the general population has to gain from legalizing "Marihuana," they might be more receptive.
For over ten years, the American media bombarded the people with sensationalized bullshit about "Marihuana" turning teenagers into axe-murdering zombies and good little innocent schoolgirls into Paris Hilton and Jenna Bush.
Finally, after enough hysteria had been whipped up over the "Mexican Demon Weed," the US Federal government outlawed "Marihuana" to protect our country from destruction.
5 years later, the US Federal legalized "Marihuana" again to protect our country from destruction.

These are just a few of the shows on Air America radio. Contact these organizations and try to start a media campaign to get Hemp For Victory mentioned on the radio.
Even just a one-line mention could spark interest in areas of our society that would be seemingly unrelated. Perhaps a young lawyer somewhere will hear of the film and start some legal campaign to have it played on national television. Who knows? We have to try. This film is absolute proof that the US Federal government is lying to the American public about cannabis. Hemp For Victory holds more weight in this fight than any other piece of evidence we have, because it was made by the US Federal government. For 60 years now, every administration of our government has tried to erase this piece of evidence from our history. Every administration since the end of World War 2 has attempted to subjugate the entire human race under the military-industrial complex and the petrochemical industry, and this is only because "Marihuana" is illegal.
We would not be in Iraq if it were not for oil. Anything else is a lie. If giving democracy by way of a gun to Iraqis is so important, why didn't we give the Iraqis their 'freedom' more than 20 years ago, when Bush Sr. was propping up Saddam Hussein's regime in a ploy to strike at the Iranians?
The US government, and it's corporate backers, all tied to the banking industry, have played God with all of our lives for far too long and it is leading our planet towards nuclear annihilation, still.
"The world struggle for money is actually a struggle for energy, as it is through energy that we may produce food, shelter, transportation and entertainment. It is this struggle which often erupts into open war. If we remove the cause, these conflicts may never occur."

I was asking a few hours ago about what we could do (positive and legal) to become more active in changing the way Government is...this is a great post for supporting legalization or at least putting it in a "light" where the ones that look at MJ as just a stoners "thing" could actually have a valid reason to support legalization..people love money..thats what will get it legalized..not the truth but what the Government can make off of it.
i just finished reading "flyboys", an account of eight us navy fliers downed in 1942 on the tiny island of chichi jima. one of them was george h.w. bush. his parachute canopy was made of rayon and the cords were hemp cordage. he survived cause he drifted far enough out to sea, the other guys either landed on the island or in the surf. they got eaten by the japanese officers on chichi jima!
We did it before and it worked.
Grow Hemp For The War.

Come on, people.
The weed's not going to grow itself..... oh wait, yes it is.
The weed's not going to turn itself into gasoline and paper.
Prohibition has lasted too damn long and the war for oil will go nuclear if we don't stop this soon.
America legalized "Marihuana" to support our troops during World War 2. If America legalizes "Marihuana" to support our troops now, hemp will replace fossil fuels for the world's energy and war for oil will end.
The reason cannabis prohibition has lasted so long is because of a lack of truthful information available to the masses (like the Dark Ages). What you have in front of you is access to virtually every piece of information in the history of humanity. There is no way for the status quo to survive the information age. We have the truth. Now, we have to get it to the masses.

I don't think you people get it. The government doesn't care what pot can be used for, it comes down to money. It will never, ever be legal in the U.S
If money is the issue at hand for the folks who matter, then weed still should be legalized. There are billions of dollars being put into prisons for people who have been put in there on marijuana charges. Not to mention, the gov't would tax weed and make lots of money off it.
On the other hand, I heard that it will never be made legal because growing it is so easy that it wouldn't be profitable for companies/gov't.
But then, if they still made growing it illegal and just legalize buying/smoking it, you'd think that most people wouldn't bother with the risk of growing.
The biggest problem is that most people would not vote for a president that would look lenient on a subject like this. The general public is against weed, since it has been lumped into the same category as crack or heroin. Most people wouldn't argue that those drugs are good. Since weed is just "another drug" to most people, it would be an up-hill battle.
It would take decades of changing public opinion before any real changes could be made.
Show people that "Marihuana" is not just "another drug."Quote:

In only 15 minutes, you can sit anyone down and show them Hemp For Victory and explain its significance and they will not be able to argue against legalizing "Marihuana." No one could logically argue against this film, because it was made by the same US Federal government that had just outlawed "Marihuana" as the worst drug menace in history 5 years prior.
The proof is here:

This film will end cannabis prohibition again and for all the years to come.
