Taking a knife to a gunfight will get you slaughtered. How about climb up a poll and do a hunger strike or something for local press? The top of the pyramid is for people who are born there or who take it by force with adequate resources. I really don't want to discourage you, but meditate on what your limitations are and work within them for the change you want. In fact, talk to a lawyer, a pot lawyer, about your idea. See what they have to say. There is a list of them on the NORML website.


Very good idea, in fact buy a copy. (He is old and gray by the way). Read that book before you go any further. The pro-hemp argument cannot be presented much better than he has done.

I understand many of your points and your right about rosa parks, but the thing is, in going pro se, it is dangerous because they try to speak the language of law, a language only few are privilaged to know that have the money for, but with the internet, that may not still be the case but my intention is to request the court and lawyers speak only in laymens terms, as I understand any ambiguous language must be in the peoples favor, so i have no fear of going pro se, if lawyers try to dazzle me with their BS language, I will simply have them break it all down for me as well as question the jury if they can define every word the lawyers bring out, bet most jurors would not be able to define every word in the law books which would tarnish their decisions unless they are clear which the lawyers must do.

I joined NORML NJ, who is a lawyer, I sent him my doc and followed up several times, no response, should I take them seriously?? perhaps I am the joke, but i am willing to find out the hard way instead of assuming the worst.

I will get that book, hopefully free, and use it as evidence just like all the testimony from the history channel, which according to them, teddy roosevelt made it illegal to keep immagrants out of the country, so to me that is racism or seperatism as well as deformation of character.

also,
would you be willing to edit the doc since the first commenter did not take the job??
