Lets all pick a day!

Traditional means of protest don't seem to get the point across well enough! Lets all pick a day in like 2010 to become the take action day and start a uniform nationwide movement that the government cannot refuse. A thief will not stand up to the public and say that stealing is right and positive thing to do, a murder won't stand up to the public and say that murder is a great positive thing, but Millions of Potheads will stand up to the public and say, Pot is good, pot is right, don't you dare persecute me for it, because potheads are the general public!
So we pick a day to take drastic measures to insure that our voices are heard, and the implications of our words are felt! Might I suggest Mid Spring some time?

im in...where at? as long as it dont become a riot and theres gotta be alot of ppl. we can call it "a million marijuana smokers march".

EVERYWHERE in the U.S.! Do it wherever you already are... I will be back to discuss forms of protest later! Remember, this is to go beyond the normal practices of protest without using violence, so we are going to have to be creative, and also remember that very little progress would be made without a shit load of balls and potential sacrifice!

jeez you want this thing huge then. im sure if i just drive to a city and find ppl along the way and take some ppl myself i could round up alot of support and let it be heard at the same time. on 4:20 in 2010 there will probably be marijuana festivals everywhere which would make it much easier to find support.

Exactly why I didn't suggest 4/20... I was thinking just after, like in May or so... yeah... bigger than ever seen before... and a hell of a lot more than just marching... I talking action, peaceable action that would FORCE reaction! there are places designated for the public to go regarding issues of different nature... for example the Agriculture department, the courthouse, hall of records, House of rep. and senate, capital hill, law enforcement departments, health departments, Schools, jails, and most other government buildings... and all these places have issues that regard marijuana... but not just taking a stand at these places either... showing dedication to the cause, and determination to see it succeed by SHOWING our commitment. There would be a lot of people not going to work on this day, and hopefully most of them will submit letters describing their strike from working until the laws are changed.... I am talking about forcing an immediate meeting of Congress, without violence! And that is the most important part, violence can not come from the side of Cannabis, but rather let it be shown that it is used against those merely showing their support for Cannabis in general!

I mean, we have two years of prep work to get it done... so how can we fail if we really put ourselves into it

I am TOTALLY behind this idea. This sounds fucking baller!!!!

Good, go spread this thread to everyone your in touch with on this site, get them in on it, and talk to your real in person friends about it and get them involved as well. I will be in contact with some major groups once there are enough people involved to bring it to the table with them, and thats in about three months time.... because that is when it really gets released everywhere and the real recruitment begins, but we need the initial like 20,000 or so! Tell your friends to tell their other friends , you know how word gets around! It is up to us, the Cannabis Community, to get it done, as it really pertains to us the most, and that is just pure logic there! This is something your really going to have to grab your balls and make sure they are still there a few times to get through..... there will be tons of criticism, skepticism, pessimism, and hurtful comments.... be better than that and strive for nothing less than sweeping success! Lets bring the numbers to the table and get started.... we are going to have to keep track of numbers, as that the game, and it is totally anonymous until the day we pick to Do This,so we need to figure out how to keep track of numbers..... and the thing that I think is our biggest Obstacle, is that tons of people in the Cannabis community will say "yeah, sure thats great!" and then do nothing... so really pressing them to get involved and go talk to MORE people is the objective here right? Because if just us three or four people Do This then no one would even notice!

well whatever we do the person to speak the most needs to be educated on the FACTS of marijuana. i would recommend "the emporer wears no clothes". its a book that was actually written for pot smokers to help defend themselves against the lies about marijuana. its full of facts. if anyone is interested PM me.

This sounds awesome, and this is somewhat unrelated but I thought was interesting, I was reading the history of Coffee shops in Amsterdam, and it was talking about how at first the police would arrest people at the shops for smoking, but they eventually had to crack because there were too many shops and smokers, and I got to thinking what would happen if all us smokers in the US did the same.

That is a good point! And preparing to do that should be included in this effort! On That day, we should plan on opening as many retail marijuana stores as possible, including advertising, a grand opening sale and the whole shebang...... having as many people flood the local, state, and federal government and public buildings at the same time as nationwide opening cannabis retail stores that in that moment would be illegal (but still technically legal), and once it goes down, they will be legal!

People quitting jobs until its legal
Millions protesting nationwide at once in the places it counts
Marijuana retail dispensaries opening in every city possible
Media Attention
People going on Hunger Strikes
And an ultimatum that basically says : "you will make Marijuana Legal, or we will all go occupy this government owned land (which means its actually owned by the people) build communities there, and secede from the United States of America and form our own country inside of the U.S.!" < That is our Constitutional right by the way.

Just getting enough people to just publicly protest and "call in sick, or threaten to quit permanently" should do the trick, but to enforce that I feel these other activities and more activities are necessary.

So lets Pick a Date when we get 10,000 people involved and let the majority decide on the date with the only rule on that being that the date can't be 4/20, how does that sound?

I see a lot of people saying they're in. I also see most of them not showing up.

It sounds good in theory, but most people will not leave their safety zone to go out on a limb.

I agree with you... to the point where they see that people are leaving their safety zone.... and a lot more people will follow through when they have made a commitment and already put a lot of work into it...

ill spread the word in my school

YouTube - Important Message for Americans about Marijuana (day)

Click to expand...

The coolest thing about it is that you made it... now go post on myspace, send emails to every one you know... I would have changed what you said in the video though... make more and more and more, and go crazy with them, promoting them to everyone you know... if you would like my opinion about how it should be worded... I wouldn't mind....

please tell me anything you want in the next vid

i commend those in support of this idea... we need to unite... and i dont see anyone else coming up with ideas for how we can do it and send a message at the same time

REP UP...

you love this shit huh dragon?
