What about this site to become...

[Omni05]

i also agree with the idea. I wish it were lagalized as much as all of you, but i am a lazy arm chair commando. Make it easy for me and you will have more members. Ron, you will go down in history if you make it happen!!!!!!

Ron is the owner of this site and many others. Only he can answer your question dude. Mods don't have those type of answers, were just members trying to make a difference is all. No pay, no nothing at all.

Thanks Zandor! Yeah you guys are good for doing all of this! Is there anyway to reach Ron? It's only a question for now, obviously, but i am willing also to put my time for the good faith of cannabis!

Thanks!

Dave-

The "legal world" is not necessarily the right place to focus resources in my view ... it's not the law that's the problem per se, but rather the politicians who pass such draconian laws to begin with.

Politics and law are related, but not the same thing ... "drug" laws have been argued every which way and yet the outcome is often basically the same ... even the U.S. Supreme Court is usually no help - and sadly, that's not new ... the Dred Scott decision comes to mind ... ultimately it took the Civil War and then much activism throughout the 20th century to change things - the "legal world" was of little consequence ... it was politics that matter ... to that end it often takes good 'ol "activism" to force politicians to change things ...

With all that said, you've got the right idea ... but focus it on politicians ... the best way to do that beyond traditional "activism" is LOBBYING ... some organizations, such as Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) already do that, but more lobbying - especially by an organization that emphasizes commerce could greatly help...

Politicians will do most anything when they see $$$ for their constituents, etc...

A prime example of this is gambling ... at one time not so long ago, such as in Pennsylvania, most all forms of gambling was very illegal; I remember back in the 80s the uproar by people over PA conducting lottery drawings on Sunday ... that was a big deal back then - these days, that seems quaint. Fast-forward a couple of decades ... now PA is on the verge of having legalized slots with possibly a combined total of more slot machines than all of Vegas!

In my view, an organization that did lobbying of the benefits of cannabis with emphasis on the economics of legal / regulated cannabis could likely make a real difference.

Lobbying is done by both non-profit and for-profit entities ... or more often, they setup/hire a separate entity to do the lobbying on their behalf - many possible organizational structures... heck, folks on their own, who have some free time and are good with people, could start lobbying straight away by meeting and getting to know well their local representatives ...

More aggressive, organized lobbying often takes money - some states require professional lobbyists to register ... and jump through other various hoops ... organized lobbying costs money - but then money is an integral part of politics - lobbying focused on economics of allowing legal / regulated cannabis would be helpful ...

Rambling on as I often do LOL! ...

In regards to a web-based organization that has basically only a website will only get one so far ... but with that said, I have some new sites in the works ... one of the websites I'm considering creating is MedPot aimed towards bringing med users together and providing related resources for them.

If you are seeking to focus on the web, then MedPot may be the ideal website to help out with.

If your focus / expertise is the law, then lobbying is likely the better focus - ie. a U.S.-based cannabis lobby that emphasizes economic benefits.

Let me know more of what you're thinking and your expertise ...

Ron

...May i please introduce you the suggestion for this site to have or become an organization in the legal world of cannabis...Like there is a lot of people all around the world, and not only children, we could have, as a whole, a certain impact in the legal world... I don't know what are the implication of doing something major like this, i am just trying to start something...

[Omni05]

i like the idea, any ETA on the possible release on MedPot?
