Change is undeniably happening. Every day we see a victory for cannabis law reform, but at the same time we still see tons of medical cannabis shop raids and high level officials (who were once tolerant to the idea of cannabis law reform) now changing their minds and spouting the same prohibitionist mantra that we've all grow tired of.
Not only that but they've successfully arrested an influential activist in the cannabis reform community. One of the only activists who would blow smoke in the faces of all the nay-sayers if he could.
We need a form of protest that draws attention, that breaks the rules and sends the message that we are tired of prohibition and we want to see change.
Recently in the news there was quite the buzz when two cannabis plants were found growing in a city owned flower pot. The two plants were cared for by the city and were growing to a very healthy height. Whether it was a deliberate act of protest, some teenage prank, or just an accident is for the moment unknown.
However I think it is a genius form of protest. It was edgy, it was innocent, but most importantly it got the point across. Cannabis isn't the devils weed. Those who saw the plant had a good laugh and thoroughly enjoyed the irony of the plants growing on High St.
Passers-by weren't angry or afraid, they didn't even notice the towering plants until the police got an anonymous phone call and came to uproot the plants.
We still need the rallying and speeches, that will be one of the most important parts to changing society, but it isn't enough by itself. Like the civil rights movement in the sixties we need the equivalent of sit-ins, how about grow ins (grow in city owned flower pots), we need the average stoner to get off the couch and do something for change.

everyone who enjoys marijuana shuld get an oz of the seedest shmids they can find. or if u burn the stuff, just collect the seeds over time.
then come around march-april (everyone together now) just take a finger pluck out the ground, pop in a seed n some spit. all n places that are public, not so public, reachable and not so reachable places.
if every herbal user out there succesfully planted 5 mid plants . i don't know how much that multiplies out to be. but its a lot of plants.
these plants can grow on their own, without any tending to wat so ever. thats y it's called ditchweed. not to say everyone's plants will grow, but there WILL BE SUCCESSFUL GROWS.
plus, the ganja god would lend her rain upon us. its destini

It would be great if all tokers of America were to practice their First Amendment right and marched on the White House in a peaceful demonstration and let our politicians know WE WON'T VOTE FOR YOU if you don't change this stupid law.
But who would DARE to organize that one. A lot of good ppl have sacrificed for the cause...but it will take cohesive PROTEST to get their attention. But the spirit of the sixties is fast fading and the bravest radicals are dying off...Jack Herer is maybe dying at this moment ...he is very ill...The Emporer of Hemp.....

and when your free range ditch weed pollinates the crops of every outdoor grower unfortunate enough to live in your locality (and beyond) your ears will burn like lil cinders on the side of your head as you're called every thundering bollox that ever stood in shoe leather
i hope there's a plan b |

Lulu you've missed the point.
In order to win and reform cannabis law we have to make sacrifices. I say plant the plants in public places for all to see. Or we could roll some joints and pass them around urge non-smokers to consider giving it a try. Anything to give more attention to the cause. We need people to see us and realize that people who smoke cannabis are not criminals. We need to get people to change their minds about prohibition, because there is still a lot of negative connotation to our cannabis law reform cause.
We need to fight for change. We've asked for change, begged for change, now we just have to man-up take a few sacrifices and change things we want to see changed. We have to publicly be the change we wish to see in the world. |

This is the second time he has had this happen and there is neurological and cardiac damage and if he does live he will certainly be an invalid now. He gave his ALL to the movement and sacrificed much to get America where it is today in legalization. But the young stoners must pick up the baton and fight on. Jack was a great American hero and I just HOPE you stoners know what he has done for you in his lifetime on earth.    | |

And everybody I could drag with me....we could have a Hootenanny on the White House lawn....Obama would understand...LOL....he admits toking in Hawaii in his past. But he has to be PC currently as he is in a "war zone" working with that congress
on health care issues and the fractured economy.... If most tokers made their way there it would get major coverage and America would see that perfectly average normal ppl do toke their cocktail daily. Suburban housewives, professional business ppl, many average so called "normal" ppl who lead productive law abiding lives other than this one protest of a stupid outdated law on the books.
It could be done....I wonder why NORML does not organize it.
We need a "Martin Luther King" of free the weed!
A fearless leader. | |
