As I'm sure most 'Cannadians' know, Stephen Harper doesn't believe we are "respectable people". He also doesn't believe our nation wants Marijuana legalized.
Does this man even live in Canada? Obviously he has failed to notice the annual Marijuana Marches held across the country (The one in Toronto brings over 20,000 of us together in one place.).
The question, in my opinion, becomes this:
How do we demonstrate to the PM and our government that they are wrong, and that Cannabis prohibition ought to be, at the very least, discussed in the House of Commons and given serious consideration?
I believe we need a demonstration that every Cannadian (Yes, I'm calling us that.) from St. John's to Victoria, Point Pelee to Alert, can participate in. The demonstration should express something that is true to all of us, and it is this: "Regardless of Canada's Cannabis prohibition laws, we use marijuana. It is time to change those laws."
How?
Well, did you know that letters sent to the government do not require postage? Did you also know that Canada Post allows Cannabis to be sent by mail so long as the contents are not identifiable? It's true.
Here's the idea:
Pass One to the Prime Minister
On April 20, 2011,
1. Every participant rolls a joint. Sparks it up. Takes a toke. Puts it out.
2. Place that joint in a sealed baggie and then into a standard envelope or otherwise conceal the smell.
3. Write this address on the envelope:

Office of the Prime Minister
80 Wellington Street
Ottawa, ON K1A 0A2
4. Drop the letter into any Canada Post box. No postage required.
5. Repeat as often as you wish, but annually on 4/20.
Letter delivery generally takes about one to two weeks from anywhere in the country. This means that the PM ought to start receiving a deluge of marijuana in the mail just in time for the March!
If you want to send a letter with your joint, we ought to lay a few ground rules - No derogatory statements, personal insults, or threats. Let's keep it clean and 'respectable'.
If you agree that our Government needs to end Cannabis prohibition, Join us, Spread this message (Facebook, Twitter, email, word of mouth, any way you can.) and pass the joint to Stephen Harper. After all, he gets high with a little help from his friends.
So RIU, what do you think? Are you on board Cannada?
