i agree with you man, i dont think america will ever legalize, but at the same time, if it were to be legalized, it would have to be initiated by something like this, so despite my feelings, i will sign every legalization petition thrown my way.
No they would just throw you in jail for an act of mass poisoning,in the usa i believe that would get you from life in prison to the death sentence depending on what state you live in
Good realistic points. However, its going to a lot more than these peaceful demonstrations. Look, there has always been those 'demonstrations', they accomplished nothing and still dont. Come on, in most cases its just a bunch of stoned people standing in the park holding a few signs. Hell, I think the government feels sorry for us and lets us do it, they are actually throwing us a bone. Honestly, how do think the general public sees that? A bunch of people too stoned to actually demonstrate. I think another approach needs to be taken. Its time to show that we are not too stoned to even demonstrate. Its time to start making some noise out there. There is a stereotypical profile the general public sees people as that smoke weed. That needs to be changed. It will never be changed until WE change their minds about how many people that smoke that are on all levels of income and social status. The people that want it legal are going to have finally stand up and speak up. Let it be known. A real legit petition is a good way to start, but if the numbers are met then someone has to push it through the system at all costs. Petitions do work, I have seen it several times.Also many people will object to signing their name and address onto a petition that basically says here i am i smoke or grow weed and i live here and my name is etc...
To be honest all though i think its great that people put themselves on the line to help to free the weed and ourselves,i doubt that any petition will do anything except give the DEA a list of drug users and possible growers.
I also don't have any better ideas,except constant and frequent peaceful demonstrations by masses of people all at once.
If you could organize a peaceful demonstration once a week they would soon cave in i am sure,but no one does this and i wouldn't have a clue on how to organize such a thing,but i do know that this is how most laws got changed over the years,signing bits of paper doesn't really do much in my opinion as they probably just chuck it in the bin.
You have to shout it in the streets or forget it
I understand your anger,but that kind of action is exactly what will help them to criminalize us not to free us.
Sorry, terrible idea. Thats not the name we want to have.
LOL, I'll sign it.Three people can keep a secret if two are dead,and the other one didn't sign his name and address on a government petition.
