Marijuana is legal on federal grounds

Marijuana use at the Liberty Bell is legal!



In 1993 the U.S. Congress passed the (42 U.S.C. § 2000bb(a)) Religious Freedom and Restoration Act which allows for the religious use of marijuana on federal grounds; during the course of a religious ceremony.



On Dec. 20th, 2003 local provocateurs, Pat Duff and NJWEEDMAN, demonstrated this fact by smoking at the LIBERTY BELL. Although at the time they were issued summons no court date was ever set. Since then the Federal Prosecutors have declined to prosecute these two â??FREEDOM FIGHTERSâ?�. Thus theyâ??ve proven that the use of marijuana at the LIBERTY BELL IS LEGAL!



They have now decided to turn Independence Park into Philly Peace Park. Come join these two FREEDOM FIGHTERS in a â??jointâ?� demonstration and act of civil dis-obedience. Make a statement to end the â??WAR on DRUGSâ?�. Every 3rd Saturday of each month, the next demonstration is set for MARCH 20th, 2004.

I just became a member and found this. I sat here and started to think, "No way, ever since I graduated from High School this has been in place. Why have I not know this?" Is this still law still viable? I went into a coma in 1994 and am kind of lost. Could I personally arrange a ceremony for The House of God according to the word of Chris, and smoke weed at the courthouse?

The Liberty Bell is I believe in Philly. About 4 hours from where i live :D :D

wouldnt more people be talking about it if it was legal to smoke their?

Yea if its been legal there for abotu 2 years, you think you would have heard about it sooner.

man this thred is from last year, im out

personally thats a fake, so some bullshiter will probably go there and think its legal then get thrown in jail lmao.

It is not legal to smoke pot on religious grounds. I think we would know if all the Rastas suddenly stopped getting busted.

He didn't say religous grounds he said Federal Grounds.

What is that even supposed to mean? The federal government has declared all marijuana illegal, even for people dying of cancer using it medicinally. The federal law is very clear on weed being prohibited in every form.

legalize it

What is that even supposed to mean?

What do you mean? He's stating that he read somewhere that it is legal to smoke on Federal grounds. There's a big difference between Federal grounds and religous grounds. I don't know anything about that law and I agree that it probably isn't true and maybe exagerated, but I'm not sure I guess I'd have to read up on it.

Well, the original post said "In 1993 the U.S. Congress passed the (42 U.S.C. § 2000bb(a)) Religious Freedom and Restoration Act which allows for the religious use of marijuana on federal grounds; during the course of a religious ceremony." This means that whatever legal form of smoking pot this guy is advocating is based on religion somehow, but I'm not sure how we're supposed to claim our use is protected on these religious/federal grounds. It doesn't sound like it would hold up in any court.

Yeah I know what your saying. I'm just saying that holding a religous ceremony on Federal grounds doesn't make it a place of worship. It's kind of like having your birthday party at Chuckie Cheese's lol.

I cant belive people had to ask where is the liberty bell, especially that one kid who said he thought it was in philli. Yeah he was right but the fact that he said Belive. Its the fucking liberty bell, what are you shitheads learning in school?

Oh I get it. Federal grounds as in federal land, not as in a justification based on federal law. But yeah, that's not going to hold up in court either.

Y'all never heard of NJWeedman and Duff's protest at the liberty bell?

They did get arrested btw, only them, not the rest of the people toking there. I don't know the outcome of the case, whether it's pending or a ruling has been made, but the whole protest was based on that law.

Well, we won, and here's all the court papers and even links to the videos of the protests. smokeout


They searched the black man twice, and didn't touch the white guy, and we smoked the ame joint.

Here's video of the first protest: POT-TV: Pot TV News for December 29th, 2003



Now I own a Medical Marijuana clinic in California, and it's so nice to be adult about the herb, but the feds raided me a couple of weeks ago and just robbed me, no arrest, real nice of them.

Peace

My hero as well.

the NJweedman along with Philly norml had a large smoke session at the liberty bell on 4/20. I wanted to go so bad but my roommates all thought we would get busted. pussies.

so, why aren't more people talking about it, really? This seems like something that would get picked up by national news.

This is brand new video of a group of people smoking at the Liberty Bell, good time for it too.....

YouTube - 4/20/07 Philadelphia Rally

So is the liberty bell the only place? For instance if I went to a national park to smoke weed would I get arrested?

Please tell me you're not American.

VERY interesting

is there a certain area of land like say the lot that the bell is on,,,seems there need to be a clearer understanding of were exactly......

The fact is that it only has to be federal property, like a national park, and the fine is only $150 dollars, but we didn't know that until after our first arrest. If you don't pay the fine though, it's up to one year in jail, which we almost got.

I failed every drug test they gave me with flying colors and opened up two medical marijuana dispensaries, all while they said i was on federal probation, Hahahaha,,,,,,

The web-site offends me. It says "Best viewed with Internet Explorer.

wtf this thread is like 3 years old lol....

Btw I love this guy already. Has anyone seen that 420 weed raffle lol. That was insane. YouTube - 420 reefer raffle - NJWEEDMAN . It's a good vid.

NJweedman is a legend, i respect him greatly.

Damn,,,only 120 peeps in the raffle... Thanks OM,,, this was a cool vid...

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gistL7nzICI&mode=user&search=[/YOUTUBE]

I live about 15 blocks from the liberty bell, I think ... I havent been yet but I heard its in old citym philadelphia. I'm gonna have to pay it a visit now.

If this is true, you probably can only carry just enough to smoke, because once you leave the federal land, the state and local cops can bust you cuz they just saw you toking up and that's reasonable doubt to search you.
