My Profile

about me
Americans For Safe Access (www.safeaccessnow.org) is the largest national grassroots coalition working solely to protect the rights of patients and doctors to use marijuana for medical purposes. Our mission is to ensure safe, legal access to marijuana for all who are helped by it. We provide legal training for lawyers and patients, medical information for doctors and patients, media support for court cases, activist training to organizers, and rapid response to law enforcement problems. We work with local, state and national legislators on issues concerning medical marijuana patients. Our successful media and legal campaigns have resulted in important court precedents, new sentencing standards, and more compassionate community guidelines.

Drug Policy Alliance (www.drugpolicy.org)e is the nation's leading organization working to end the war on drugs. We envision new drug policies based on science, compassion, health and human rights and a just society in which the fears, prejudices and punitive prohibitions of today are no more.

I support the Freedom To Farm (www.encod.org/freedomtofarm.pdf). For thousands of years, people around the world have been growing cannabis, coca leaves, opium and other plants in order to use them as a medicine for the body and mind, or for other useful purposes. Today...more than 200 million worldwide continue to use some of these plants. Since 1961, however, following dictates of a UN Convention that is applied in almost all countries of the world, these plants are prohibited. People have been killed, tortured, imprisioned, stigmatised and ruined for growing, trading or consuming them... THE WAR ON DRUGS MUST END.

I highly respect the folks of LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition) (www.leap.cc). The membership of LEAP believe that to save lives, and lower the rates of disease, crime and addition, as well as to conserve tax dollars, we must end drug prohibition. COPS SAY LEGALIZE DRUGS. Why?

Follow this link and watch the video. Video one and two are particularly facetious.

PASS THIS ON! This is too hilarious and too courageous not to share.

I am asking you to join us in protest. We must make it clear to our Gov't Officials- with a loud and united voice- that we will not stand for this assult on the medication so many of the sick and dying rely on.
