In conjunction with 4:20....
There is a new movement going on that is going to break the ice on
marijuana reform, there is no more sit back and get laughed at by presidential question and answer session, it is time for at least 1/25th or 1 Million of America's 25 Million pot smokers to start acting and show American Lawmakers that we do not stand to being laughed at for proposing the COMPLETE legalization if
marijuana. The goal is to get a bill passed through US Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama by December 31st, 2009 (The end of this year). This new law needs to have language that makes it legal for anyone possessing up to 10
marijuana Plants or 10 pounds of processed
marijuana completely legal in The United States. I think most can agree this is a fair law that allows American citizens to grow 10 plants for themselves, three (3) crop cycles a year for personal use. This will allow non-criminal related
marijuana Users to have easy access to their own
marijuana or trade/buy from friends or acquaintances who are more experienced in growing
marijuana. It is time to bring this issue to President Obama and Congress' backyard!
Here are the details of The Million marijuana March
Who: Everyone. Medicinal
marijuana Patients, Recreational
marijuana Smokers, Activists, Victims of DEA Raids, Victims of street crime from violent drug dealers due to prohibition creating this Black Market, Non
marijuana Users who wish to allow the right to choose what people due with their bodies, Libertarians, Scientists, Students, Politicians.
Who is not invited: The DEA or police looking for easy busts or profiling of
marijuana Activists and
marijuana Users, The Office of Nationl Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), which is coincidentally right down the street.
What: What is the purpose? To raise awareness that The War on
marijuana is absurd, costly, violent, oppressive and unconstitutional.
Where: The National Mall in Washington, DC. 7th Street N.W. Washington, DC
When: Monday April 20th, 2009 (4/20). 8AM - 8PM. People can stay an extra 4 hours and participate in a "midnight vigil" for the innocent victims who lost their lives from the War on
marijuana.
Why: America needs reform on its
marijuana policies. For far too long,
marijuana has been grouped into the same categories as other drugs and it is time to separate these drug from
marijuana. We are now renaming the "War on Drugs" when referring to
marijuana solely, to "The War on
marijuana". This helps make the demonizing campaign against
marijuana ineffective because cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and other drugs cannot be used in "The War on
marijuana". Until now, we were unable to see how silly the "War on
marijuana" is because other drugs were grouped into
marijuana's category. Now that a spade is a spade and it is "The War on
marijuana", politicians can't spin the facts on
marijuana's harmlessness to society and American's health.
How: Come by bus, plane, car or take the metro. There are plenty of places to stay in DC and as this Million
marijuana March picks up, people will open their homes up for those wanting to attend the event in the DC Area.
Lets see 1 Million Americans at The National Mall on April 20th, 2009! Lets show lawmakers this is not something to be laughed at about, we are serious!
