Dale Gieringer, director of California NORML, also spoke yesterday at the Million Marijuana March in San Francisco.His speech included the fact that although Prop 215 protects medical marijuana users from legal prosecution, for the thousands of other marijuana consumers it still remains illegal, at a tremendous cost to the taxpayers. We must also consider the loss of productivity when someone is jailed on a marijuana related offense.
The family unit is also broken, and that causes further damage, both financially, and emotionally.I'd like to point another fact out too. While at the march yesterday, I thought about the prohibition of alcohol. That lasted from 1920-1933. That's thirteen years! So, could you see a rally in 1932, where thousands of people gathered trying to get alcohol legalized, and passing beer, wine, whiskey all around chanting; "We want our booze! We want our booze!". How many people would pass out? How many fights would occur? They certainly couldn't have said we want "medical alcohol" either. The point I'm making is we had thousands of people, all sharing their joints and pipeloads of fine marijuana, and all was mellow. The cops watched on, and they knew it was cool. No fights, no slobbering drunks. Just a large crowd of nice people smoking a pleasant herb, asking for their right to use it. How nice it will be when we can all get a bong.Cheers,Dr. Ganjhttp://www.hightimes.com/

MMM

Dr.Ganj's,Whats happeniN? I think Marches like these are what we the people need. Weas individuals of a cause, need to come together and do marches like this to be heard. Norml is a great organization,but there not going to be able to do all the work on there own. They need our support!Take it easy,Freds
