I will be there waiting for everyone to show up… Please everyone spread the word!!! We need everyone to come out of their safe little closet and show up at the protest. I have read many places where no one wants to come out and support this because they would much rather stay home. Well that is one reason that cannabis/hemp is still illegal. We are willing to tell pollsters that we want cannabis legalized, if no one knows who is saying it, but once you are asked to stand and be counted, you are afraid. Afraid of what, someone will notice you? I would be afraid of not standing up and being counted. The laws would stay the way they are and police will continue breaking down doors and mistakenly killing people during drug raids!

How many more people have to be killed in this war on drugs? IF cannabis were legal that would put an end to the cartels. They would have no more reason to kill individuals over cannabis. Cannabis could be taxed, and regulated and it would then be harder for minors to get their hands on it. Right now all they have to do is go down to the corner and pick some up. The drug dealer on the corner does not check ID’s. IF it were regulated and sold in stores, they could put an age limit on it and then they would have to provide ID to purchase it. Just as with cigarettes, and alcohol. Yes they would still be able to get it, but it would be harder. Once you take the danger away from it it many not be fun for someone any longer. Just as before you turn 21 you like to drink because you think you are getting away with something, but then after you turn 21 it is no longer any fun and you don’t do it as much. This same thing will happen with cannabis/hemp. When becomes legal, some people will have it around and not smoke it because it is no longer where and when am I going to get my stuff next? You will just be able to walk down to the corner store.

Medical cannabis is very important to people. We need to legalize it now. We need to stand up for it now. 75% of people in America approve the use of medical cannabis, but they are afraid to stand up in public for it, until someone they love needs it desperately. Everyone needs to stand up now, so when their loved-one needs it it will be there, and will be legal! You don’t want to have to wast precious time and energy fighting for cannabis legalization when that time, effort, and money could be put to helping your loved one recover. Even the NCI says that cannabis can help reduce tumors. IF a government agency can stand up against the government and endorse cannabis, then we as people should be able to stand up for it also! Don’t be afraid that someone will recognize you, if 75% of Americans approve of cannabis for medical reasons, then that means that most of your friends are for it also, so they would be proud of you for standing up for it. If we all talked openly about it, maybe we could find out that even more people are in the corner of cannabis, and they would be more willing to stand up for it if they had more people like YOU standing next to them.

So what is the meanings of my ramblings? COME OUT OF THE CLOSET AND STAND UP FOR CANNABIS/HEMP and lets get them legalized!!! I have not even gone into the reasons hemp should be legal to grow and harvested for industrial use! They are to numerous to to list. Lets just say that Hemp can feed and paper the world while at the same times saving it from the oil barons that pump oil for transportation and plastic! HEMP CAN and WILL SAVE THE WORLD once it is legalized. Those are dangerous words. Do you think that the big oil companies are going to let hemp become legal to replace gas, plastics and everything else that hemp could replace oil for? That is why we have to fight so hard. We are fighting a never ending money pit. At lease never ending in our lifetime! (Unless we get hemp legalized)

SO WE HAVE TO COME OUT IN PUBLIC AND STAND FOR LEGALIZATION FOR CANNABIS AND HEMP!!! SO I HOPE I WILL SEE YOU THERE!

I support legalization efforts. However, you have two choices. 1) You can make rational arguments that draw on fundamental principals of freedom and self-determination. 2) You can make a public spectacle and hope that you're annoying enough that someone will let you have your way just so that you shut the f-ck up.



I beg you to choose the former.

because of the fact marijuana is illegitimate, and saying that the TEA party only needs 'freedom' is an extremely time-honored fact. Why could everybody say that they do no longer choose freedom? Its in easy terms a count number of what freedom includes. And smoking marijuana isn't a controversy of freedom in any way, its count number of legality.

You know, this is just like the gay rights protests, sorry to break it to you but there are BIGGER things to worry about right now. You people really think you're going to be listened to when the government is in shambles, problems in Libya and whatever other chaos is going on right now? Here's an idea... Wait until things settle down then go on your pot induced protests. It's actually alarming how many people just don't care about the current condition of this country.

Have to tell people where it is for them to show up. He should smoke after writing his invitation and not before.



Diatribes like this one are a reason it is still illegal. Too many freaks and not enough mainstream showing public support.

Millions out of work, millions lost their homes, millions cross the borders illegally, homeless is skyrocketing, millions of businesses shutting their doors, government has taken the country so much in debt, the U.S. is about to loose it's financial ratings ====>>> Nice to see "you" have your priorities in order.

America is drowning in debt, and this is what excites liberals?



Hows about you idiots just retire from public office, stop voting and do your little hormone and drug rallies and let conservatives run the country?

Most potheads can't even be motivated to work or go to the grocery store so why do you think they will go out of their way to go to your rally?
