Now is the time to act... 

Are you tired of the misguided and destructive War on Marijuana?

There is an awakening happening when it comes to the way we see the "Drug War" and many are now questioning the wisdom and efficacy of these policies, especially when it comes to marijuana.  Perhaps you feel that marijuana prohibition and war on medical cannabis is a colossal waste of your tax dollars or has eroded our civil rights. Maybe you are concerned about the cartel violence that is funded by the profits from black market trade in marijuana.  Or maybe you just think that nobody should go to jail for a plant.
 
"On some positions, cowardice asks the question, is it expedient? And then expedience comes along and asks the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? Conscience asks the question, is it right?
There comes a time when one must take the position that is neither safe nor politic nor popular, but he must do it because conscience tells him it is right. I believe today that there is a need for all people of goodwill to come with a massive act of conscience and say in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "We ain’t goin’ study war no more." This is the challenge facing modern man."- Martin Luther King
 
Like Vietnam, the only way we are going to win this "war on drugs" is to end it. The only way to do that is for each individual who believes the federal government should stop wasting our tax dollars arresting, prosecuting and incarcerating people for pot, to stand up and do something about it. Not just patients, or others who use cannabis, but every person who believes that the enforcement of marijuana and hemp prohibition is a destructive and misguided policy should be making their voice heard.  We are poised on a precipice right now, and all the progress that we have made could be lost if not enough people speak up and take Action..
 
It really is up to YOU if the arrest, harrassment and incarceration of medical marijuana patients, providers and recreational users continues.

Undercover Cop Entices, Seduces then Entraps High School Teen
"One 18-year-old honor student named Justin fell in love with an attractive 25-year-old undercover cop after spending weeks sharing stories about their lives, texting and flirting with each other. One day she asked Justin if he smoked pot. Even though he didn't smoke marijuana, the love-struck teen promised to help find some for her. Every couple of days she would text him asking if he had the marijuana. Finally, Justin was able to get it to her. She tried to give him $25 for the marijuana and he said he didn't want the money -- he got it for her as a present. A short while later, the police did a big sweep and arrest 31 students -- including Justin. Almost all were charged with selling a small amount of marijuana to the undercover cops. Now Justin has a felony hanging over...
Marijuana-based prescription drug seeks approval from the FDA
Of course, it would conflict with the US Patent currently held by the Federal Government, and it's fanatical denial that cannabis can be used medically... but it wouldn't be the first time that the pharmaceutical industry crawled into bed with the FDA to get them to let them release a drug. Excerpted: "Sativex contains marijuana’s two best known components — delta 9-THC and cannabidiol. SAN FRANCISCO — A quarter-century after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first prescription drugs based on the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, additional medicines derived from or inspired by the cannabis plant itself could soon be making their way to pharmacy shelves, according to drug companies, small biotech firms and university scientists. Additional...
Unit D Closes
Excerpted: "...According to LaFond, after learning of the Garden Grove city council's recent decision to halt all paperwork involving new marijuana clubs, he called city attorney Tom Nixon, who told him that the federal government had informed the city that if they didn't take such an action, the city would be open to criminal prosecution. Nobody at the city attorney's office was available to speak with the Weekly, however LaFond says that Nixon told him that "he would not be surprised to see federal action"--i.e. raids--"taken in Garden Grove and the surrounding community," by which Nixon meant the cities of Santa Ana and Anaheim..."

Crime and Medical Marijuana Prohibitionist Scare Tactics - Stephen Downing of LEAP to Long Beach City Council
Stephen Downing Web: www.leap.cc January 19, 2012 James Johnson Councilmember, 7th District 333 W. Ocean Blvd, 14th Floor Long Beach, CA 90802 Dear Councilmember Johnson: I read with interest the answer to the question you posed about the general crime effect of medical marijuana collectives upon the City of Long Beach at the last council meeting. The nature of the statistics reported in the Grunion Gazette provided no opportunity to analyze the generalization that the one murder, 54 felonies and 27 misdemeanors were the direct result of legal marijuana collectives operating in the City, as alleged. Nor did the article indicate whether those crimes were committed last week or over the 15 years that medical marijuana has been permitted by law in California. As you know, "...
