What Will It Take To Legalize?

[Euphoric]

ok, i am just brainstorming here. any suggestions would be nice, too. the whole point is working together, anyway.

1. media overthrow - billboards, saturation of truth-filled marijuana effects on televison rather than the whole "drugs are bad mk?" theologies.

this would take massive funding. the only thing we as tiny commonfolk can do is to donate parts of our meager earnings towards companies that will help, such as NORML. Any other worthy donation sites?

2. Support from schools and churches - they helped jump start this senseless prohibition. we need them to help stop it. Critcal, key players needed to stand up for this one. I have no idea how we could help this. Any suggestions?

3. Vote Greeny - sign petitions and cast your vote for ballots that support the end of prohibition! Like Torog, don't vote AGAINST progress! Anybody have websites for resources on this?

4. Buy Hemp/Marijuana Products - Today's world is controlled by money. Thats all they care about! So spend your money renting Half Baked, hemp bracelets and the myriad of other hemp products. Even though hemp isnt even psychoactive, it's a step. Hemp saves our forests from being cut down to wipe our asses with


any other ideas guys/gals? Any web resources (links) would also be helpful. We all count, and we all can make a difference. Everyone is connected! Lets stand up for our rights

Like you said, this would take money and resources. I mean, flyers would work.. and you could make them at home. I mean, if I was to print 10,000 flyers (it would take alot of paper and ink, though lol) that would be one flyer for every nine people on this island.. its better than nothing lol As for television, radio, and stuff, i dunno, that would be hard to organize and convince people to let you do. Also, fundin organizations tryin to legalize it wont work. it just wont

2. Support from schools and churches - they helped jump start this senseless prohibition. we need them to help stop it. Critcal, key players needed to stand up for this one.

Schools and churches will NEVER change, at leats not in our lifetime. Even if/when its legalized, it will be frowned upon by both the church and schools (and probably the rest of society for a wheile too)

3. Vote Greeny - sign petitions and cast your vote for ballots that support the end of prohibition!

Hmmm, it sounds good, but when has it ever worked?

4. Buy Hemp/Marijuana Products

Hmm, fair enough, but I dont think that would help convince the government to legalize weed.

The only thing ican think of, is to change the mindset of society. Convince EVERYONE that weed isnt bad, mkay? show people that stoners function in society just as well as everyone else. that kind of thing. if societys view of weed changes, so will the governemts, because they just want votes

yeah, i hate Torog too

I think pot use is growing, though we may not full realise it, but look at our highgschools today. As long as there are "typically sucessfull" or even happy peopel "making it" peopel who are younger won't gorw up seeing it as sucha bad thing, as long as we have role models when were young, and become them when we age, we can contintue, as a whole to influce many people. If everyone of us helped 3 people become understanding and un-prejudice eveyryear. Not all of us will, some not even one in 10 years, btu if we all suporrted that figure, i think it is safe to say that evenutally pot will become legal, ambe not int this lifetime, but sometime.

And who knows mabe even in this lifetime.

Some good ideas hemp activism i think would actually help marijauna legalization because people relate the two together because they are basically the same thing hemp is just not allowed to grow fully and is very low in THC. If hemp starts being used as it should be to save money and make cheaper products for the same quality people will begin to see its not so bad. Schools will never change. Petitions have been going on for decades im not sure the impact of them. I think the best way to legalize it would be to use the truth, destroy the lies more than half the united states is still under. The influence of reefer madness hasnt stopped since the first one started in the 1960's. People still believe that marijuana kills brain cells that is the biggest reason most people i know think it is so bad. It has been proven to kill none. Alcohol is one of the most addicting drugs around but is legal people dont know this people think marijuana is much more harmful then alcohol just because they ahve been lied to. All i do is when the chance comes up i tell people the truth about cannabis and do the best i can to make them believe they ahve been lied to. But i tell them both sides if you use cannabis before you become a full grown adult it can cause A-motivational syndrome and thats about the worst. Just let people know theyve been lied to and clear up the lies big brother started nearly 50 years ago.

what the fuck are you talking about. This is the legalize weed section.

comparing alcohol as a freely available substance to pot, a controlled substance and their associated costs to the taxpayer, community and individual, is a good way of making the anti-pot leauge look a little silly.

LEGALIZE IT TODAY!

OK let's clear up a few misconceptions. You want to leagalize canabis? Me too. This country was FOUNDED with hemp/cannabis. You could pay your taxes to Washington in hemp until 1860. The American Medical Assocasion (AMA) testified AGAINST the original legislation in 1937. Yes that's when the lies started. How did the lies start? It is a long story. Look for "A Brief History of Politics of Cannabis" in this space in the near future. The truth is a sortid tale of greed and lies. The real hope is to make people realize just how much it COSTS to persecute and imprision people for the use of an herb with a thousand year history of doing good for people. One More: some botanists feel the first plant to have been domesticated was.....wait for it......CANNABIS!!!!!
