Running away to a foreign land or doing nothing is not the way to go! Social apathy and escapism are a big part of all our problems! We are LETTING the b*stards do this to us! Are you registered to vote? Unless you are underage, why not? You know how a muscle will atrophy if you don't use it? Well, free speech is the same! Unless you use it, you lose it!

So get off your little stoned behinds and do something. You obviously know how to write, so write a letter to your local political people You can get their addresses online very easily or from your newspaper. Say that you support medical marijuana (if not full legalization) and wish to see it available at least to the ill. Even someone who is a self-described "scatterbrain" can make up a form letter and send a copy of it to their senators, congresspeople, governors and mayors. Stamps don't cost that much. Send a "I'll vote for you" letter to New Mexico's governor, who is poised to make NM the 12th MMJ state, and looks like he will run for president. (Wouldn't that be a refreshing change from bush!)

Another thing is that there are thousands of people who are in jail for using. I'm willing to bet that you know one. How about dropping them a line, now and then. (Call up their Mom- she'll have the address, or maybe NORML or ASA could find you one)?

My "pen pal", Randy Brush, just got released to a halfway house after getting 3 years for 4 plants. He's in a wheel chair half the time and was using medicinally. In another two months, he'll be free! I've never met him or spoken to him, but we have a great friendship. When you're in jail,getting a letter or even a pretty postcard, makes a day feel like Xmas when you were a little kid.

Another bit of activism for springtime, is to go on a "picnic" to some untraveled area, and plant your seeds! It doesn't matter if you never go back there, if they are just "bag seed", or even seeds from when your plant "hermied"- just plant them! Think on how many seeds are produced every year. Think of them planted!

Activists are not all out there "singin' songs and carrying signs", some of us do the millions "little things" that eventually make a difference for us all. 80% of the people believe that MMJ should be available-that wasn't true 10 years ago. If we all become activists (vote, write, convince others), the politico's HAVE to listen or be voted out! If each of you wrote a letter...think of the effect!

"Little drops of water, tiny grains of sand,
Make the might ocean and the broad sea strand."
