“Is there a way to send this message to every citizens doorstep???? How do we educate the entire public????”

Yes. All at the same time. Simultaneously. And never let up…

1) send every politician and to all the ceo’s of the companies on the above list a copy of “The Emperor Wears no Clothes”
http://www.jackherer.com/chapters.html
2) send small leaflets in the mail to other major players and coordinate simultaneous knock-on-door campaigns
3) massively go after the press about the positive issues about MJ, which there are many, use press release services to re-submit MJ’s medicinal properties
4) massive email and letter writing campaign
5) use massive key-word lists and hundreds of new web sites to blast the internet with pr MJ propoganda and other tactics to help falsify existing negative information already on the internet
6) hit a major TV ad such as the Super Bowl, somehow, someway

Again, do it all at the same time, name names, and get it out of the closet.

Ron Brooks, Harry Anslinger… Let your prejudices blind you to the humanity of your opponent and you lose. You become him. Brooks is eager to paint “supporters of marijuana use” as “terrorists” because that’s the scary straw-man of the past ten years, just like “communist” was back in the mid-to-late 20th century. He may be an unwitting fascist; he might not. We have to remember to call these people what they are, and that is simply, “people”; anything else is an invitation for vitriol and hate to infect and destroy us.

Here, Here, We know what we must do, BUT, there are those that are too, afraid to stand up because I might get knocked down. WeLLL, get back up. If the powers that be do not relinquish there hold on you now, what makes you think we will ever be truly free. As a surf, which we ALL are, if you carry a birth certificate, then you will do as I say or else, is their prospective on the matter of allowing you to harm MY property, AIN’T a gonna happen, not on my watch any way. This is what we have to deal with, regain your soverntiey and then, may we regain control of our body, mind, and soul. All they want is the money you are worth, TO SEE WHAT YOU’RE WORTH, JUST CHECK THE STOCK NUMBER ON THAT BIRTH CERTIFICATE, you know the little red numbers on that commodity paper you hold as proxy for the state you live in. I don’t want you to believe me, check it out for yourself. PEACE AL….

The only real progress has been made at the state level. If enough states reform MMJ laws, the feds will ultimately have no choice but to sit up and take notice. Getting it put to a national vote is the one thing the prohibitionists will never voluntarily do, they know they have a very real chance of losing. It’s an uphill battle but it must be fought. History shows us that whenever a government entity is formed it almost never goes away, it only grows larger over time.

this is the mainly imp mater in this blog===>>

“Supporting marijuana use is an example of domestic terrorism—it puts the public at great risk and threatens the very fabric of our society.” -Ron Brooks, President of National Narcotics Officers’

llegal is not a good enough reason. Slavery was once legal, and our American revolution was once illegal. Legality is a horrible barometer for morality!

The United States government isn’t waging war on drugs…..they are waging war on the American people. That’s why it must stop.

Here’s the whole deal. It has never been about drugs. In the 20’s the proponents of prohibition included William Randolph Hearst and Ed DuPont. Hearst was growing pine trees and selling them to his newspaper empire as pulp wood. In 1929, DuPont got a patent from the US government to produce nylon fibers from oil. They both had a vested interest in eliminating hemp fibers from the American marketplace. Neither of them had the slightest clue as to the magnitude of the black market they were birthing. Neither of them gave a damn if your kids smoked weed either. They just didn’t want to have to compete fairly with hemp. Then the governers of several western states joined in lobbying Congress to outlaw marijuana for no other reason than to have an excuse to arrest and deport Mexicans in response to an influx of immigrants who were coming across the border. Old fashioned American racism – nothing more, nothing less. And the republicans who like to sell themselves as being “tough on drugs” aren’t really trying to protect your children from drugs, either. We are arresting 800,000 or so people each year for marijuana offences. Each arrest that culminates in a felony conviction represents one more voter who will not be welcome at the polls anytime soon because of their liberal views on drugs. People who have liberal views on drugs usually have liberal views on other things as well.

See how it works? U. S. drug laws are providing funding for all the mean people on Earth who wish to do America harm – from the gangs who are taking over our inner cities, to foreign terrorists and even criminal elements within our own government. These efforts are not keeping drugs away from anyone, in fact prohibition is doing more to destroy our country than all the drugs in the world could ever do.

There’s only one conclustion to be drawn from these facts. The United States government isn’t waging war on drugs…..they are waging war on the American people. That’s why it must stop.

Lot’s of good comments, especially the note indicating the US Congress has a bill before it right now, HR 5842, that would end the Federal raids on medical mj in states that approve medical mj. This is the right time to write our Congressmen and Congresswomen! There’s also HR 5843, regarding all mj, not just medical, so again, this really is the right time to write our Congresspersons. It will take more than one letter and it will take more than a short time period, but this is the kind of effort it will take. Not ranting, not swearing, just a reasonable friendly letter written while in a reasonable frame of mind. Now is the time!

Great article! It is a shame though, everytime I educate myself about Marijuana law and find out just who is tryin’ to screw me and take away my freedoms. Depression sets in, the reality of it all is overwhelming. Think about it for a minute…lost freedom for a plant you don’t even have to do anything to, it just grows that way! Thanks anyway to NORML for sticking it out when all seems dark and especially for doing something about it. It certainly is easier to dream than to live the life of a activist!!!

Thanks again,
