		<description>Here is an interesting note, the State of Kansas is running out of money and had to cut back at the Court houses. This would be a great time for the prisoner in Kansas beening held on unjust cannabis laws should file writs on the constructive fraud which has abrogated their liberty. These writs would be the sticks that breaks the camels / Kansas Courts’ back. This will pressure the State of Kansas to change their ass backward behavior because they can’t afford their ass backward behavior any longer.
Please inform any and all those prisoners to get with their jail house lawyers and file these writs exposing this constructive fraud and seeking relief from said fraud.</description>

		<description>It is easy to get pissed off over this issue of cannabis and our secured rights.  To be told over and over again that we have the best country in the world.  That we American have this all powerful constitution that has secured our inalienable rights in it.  That it protect us from abuse by any government including our own.  That our American society stands our among all others as the best society the world has to offer.  That there is these wonderful concept of &quot;Due Process&quot; and &quot;Equal Protection under the Law&quot; in place which we all can enjoy and use to address issue like the one here. Then we witness the continous &quot;CORRUPTION&quot; in Government, you know that disease that has spares none of us.  We then find out that our the government has changed the very meanings of the words used by the founding fathers in our constitution in order to better abrogate those all important rights we all though were secured and retained by the people.  Then we learned that our so called protected inalienable rights have been abrogated away with a single act of Constructive Fraud.  Our government who is sworn to serve our constitution not only has illegaly outlaws our sub-culture but has fraudulently blamed our sub-culture for the most of the world&#039;s drug problems.  You know that &quot;gateway lie&quot;.  Then that same sworn government misusing due process of law takes everything we thought we owed including our individual bodies.
How can we not get mighty pissed off, people have gone to war for far less.  I am not supportive of wars but I sure understand historically how they have come about.  Tyrants abuse the people and the people get tried of Tyrant&#039;s abuse.  Tyrant&#039;s ignor the pain and abuse they bring upon the people.  The Tyrant rulers or governments have that&#039; &quot;let them eat cake&quot; attitude towards the people.  In the end the people reach a point when enough is enough, the breaking point, then historically the blood flows into the streets from both sides and from those they love.
We are on the right track in peacefully taking back our rights illegally taken by our government&#039;s constructive fraud upon our Nation.  Keep the liberty in your hearts and keep pushing this ass backward fraud back in the government&#039;s face with truth and facts.  Don&#039;t get quite, let your voices be loud and truthful.</description>

		<description>The latest episode of Fringe on Fox.  The scientist Walter told a police officer that marijuana helps you sleep.  AND ...  they did an experiment with LSD.  All positive spin.  

I was so happy and you should be too, we&#039;re making progress.  
Television programs and MSM will break this 70 plus year lie in half and we will win.

If your so inclined, write to the Producers of Fringe and thank them.  I&#039;d suggest short and to the point emails.</description>

		<description>Directed to AK. 

Number 1, you should read more carefully before commenting. &quot;on day 1 of Conference, during our 4:20 afternoon break, as several hundred of us medicated on the plaza, San Francisco’s Thursday Green-Transportation Bike Protest, with police escort, pedaled by, a significant number of their ranks biking buck-naked&quot;. 

Nude bike riding had nothing to do with NORML. Just a San Fran sight the author is commenting on. Like saying, &quot;I went to NYC and the cabbies were rude!&quot;...

Number 2, realize the facts. 40 years ago, the majority of voters on both coasts did not support legalization like today. The majority then didn&#039;t even support simple medical. 40 years ago 70% of voters didn&#039;t support medical. The voters have been convinced. Life experience has shown them the truth. The legislators? Well they answer to the people or the corporations, the industrial complex lobby. The primary task for legalization advocates in my opinion? To get larger and larger numbers of people active enough to demand that the pols do something and stop answering to the police unions, drug testing corps, etc. A good way to get people active? Have fun events, for one...

3. Get a clue on what you are talking about before you go off.

Signed a guy who helped win decrim in MA with 65% of the vote. A non hippy, Gen X, jock, business man.

You can&#039;t argue with results and progress. What have you done?</description>

		<description>Great news #7 Tyler, thanks for sharing your story.  It&#039;s refreshing to read this sort of thing and continues to give me hope.  

And yes, Anthony #2, it would be lovely if there were no need for Conference #39.</description>

		<description>Ps - i was camping out recently in a State Park in So. California  and we were approached by a State Park Ranger . He said &quot; i can smell marijuana &quot; . Can i see your recommendation ? It was dark out and he had a flashlight . I kept it with my Car registration and auto repair bills in an envelope above my sun visor . I handed everything to him . He didn&#039;t even look for my recommendation . He handed it right back to me and said  &quot; have a nice night &quot; .

[&lt;strong&gt;Editor&#039;s note&lt;/strong&gt;: Thanks for your testimonial about just how far cannabis prohibition has fallen in the last 10-15 years in the US! NORML receives numerous calls and emails a week from state compliant medical cannabis patients who interface with law enforcement over cannabis for one reason or another, and the officers respect the law and let the patients continue going about their business, with their medicine.

This is undoubted progress in the nearly 40-year legal struggle to repeal prohibition laws.]</description>
