4/20 Day After Reflections

First thing I found interesting about 4/20 was the almost exclusive blackout of NEWS COVERAGE of the day and events. When you think about it, think about how much marijuana and the drug war have been in the news lately, and all of a sudden yesterday, there was NOTHING about 4/20 day. You hate to say planned media black out, but it does seems as if that was the case. I will qualify that by admitting I do not watch local news. To all my fellow smokers, those who do it recreationally, and those that do it for medical reasons...how can we ever win this fight, get Cannabis legalized when so much APATHY exists? Illegal Aliens are on the brink of getting AMNESTY because they MARCHED. Gays are starting to get their civil rights, Gay Marriage almost a reality...can we say Gay Pride Day parades? Equal Rights would NOT HAVE HAPPENED without MARCHES AND PROTESTS. Ending the Vietnam War...same thing, protests and marches. Peaceful protests, exercising our civil rights and having large enough events that the MEDIA HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO COVER THEM is what we need.

Was fun being on Twitter with other smokers...made the day less isolating, as I do not live in a community where I can walk down the street to my friend's house and get my BUZZ on. At 53, I am tired of having TO HIDE who I am, tried of having to hide the fact that I smoke from my neighbor's and many of our friends, and tired of having to feel ashamed because I like to get high every once in awhile. It is funny, but how can President Obama talk about illegal aliens being given Amnesty, being allowed to come out from the shadows, but he is fine with making 25 million pot smokers live in the shadows. Why should be have to feel like criminals, why should we have too hide our behaviors...seriously, how many of you have your little STASH hiding place at home, freak out now and again when you forget to put STUFF AWAY and suddenly a neighbor stops by and you are rushing to stuff your pipe in the coffee table drawer?

I am working on a BIG painting job here in my house, so need to finish this article up, swig down my last gulp of coffee and get to work. Hope every one has a nice 420 day, and hope everyone does something in the coming year to move us close to the day when we can come out of the shadows.

California Medical Marijuana...Is April 29th Sentencing of Charles Lynch A Ruby Ridge Moment For The 420 Community? Should It Be?

President Obama, Eric Holder Sell Out Medical Marijuana Distributor Charles Lynch In California, HAVE LIED TO AMERICA

On April 11th I asked people in the Bloggosphere and on Twitter to write letters of support for Charles Lynch, a Medical Marijuana Shop owner who has wrongfully been STALKED by the DEA, even though he was in full compliance WITH ALL CALIFORNIA LAWS. It was the hope of many within the Medical Marijuana community that the Obama Administration's public statement on Medical Marijuana would see victims of criminal persecution by the DEA would see their cases dismissed. In a letter just released, the DOJ basically tells subordinates that Eric Holder is fine seeing this man hung up by his balls as an example to every other Medical Marijuana Care facility in America...the 13 states that have LEGALIZED Medical Marijuana are encouraged to take a stand, encouraged to ORDER DEA out of your states even if it requires ordering out your State Highway Patrol and State National Guard troops to accomplish the eviction, order all Federal Courts chained shut until such time as this important State's Rights issue is resolved in favor of the states. (DEA Propaganda...you people are cocksuckers, plain and simple.) (Judge for yourselves...newspaper article.)

In this breaking news just out we have learned that President Barack Obama, Eric Holder and the entire United States Department of Justice are back stabbing two faced, snake tongued sleaze bags who are promising to leave states who have made Medical Marijuana legal alone, while in reality turning up the heat and attempting to visit a Holocaust upon the Medical Marijuana Caregivers in the hopes of killing this budding industry,leaving millions of patients suffering in the wake of this Federal Persecution of Business people and Medical Marijuana Caregivers who have gone to GREAT EXTREMES to operate within the FULL EXTENT of their local and state laws, including paying their taxes.

For the 420 Community, this is a Ruby Ridge level crisis...Charles Lynch, a law abiding citizen of the state of California (which has legalized Medical Marijuana) and hundreds of other citizens just like him are facing up too 100 years in Prison because of an unfair and unjust DEA Witch hunt. If there was ever a time where citizens should exercise their First Amendment Rights, that time is April 29th in the Courtroom of Judge Wu, on the steps of his Federal Courthouse, and in the front of EVERY DEA OFFICE IN CALIFORNIA...take your digital cameras, and get photographs, put the faces of the DEA agents online, identify them, know them, keep them OUT OF YOUR SHOPS, OUT OF YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS. Once you identify them, protest in front of their homes until this DEA, Department of Justice sanctified WITCH HUNT IS PERMANENTLY STOPPED through the full nationwide legalization of Medical Marijuana.
