I want to raise the perspective of combining playing cards suites with a Victory by list theme.

Since you can think of many ways the cannabis story can be divided, there could be many suites to divide categories. I can think of good guys and bad guys, past and present. I can think of uses in hemp, medical, and recreational. I can think of suite on laws like possession, cultivation, trafficing, seizure, paraphanalia, conspiracy, jury nullification, and so on.

I think of websites having a card. In a virtual world the numbers could easily be changed for an individual's deck. CannabisNews might have the Queen of Hearts with a description of its chosing that could be modified in any configuration into a suite of websites. Now combine that with a Victory by list theme. My suite might chose to rank websites or not and I could present a list as a suite.

There could be a suite for commercial websites like Hempola that could serve as a list of top websites for hemp products. There could be a suite for top videos available on the Internet. There could be a suite of the most informative websites, such as the Canadian Senate Report and JackHerer.com's book. Those would be easy to construct if you wanted to actually complete a suite.

I am going to pull Nol's head off and crap down his neck if I do not get some response to this idea. This is really a big deal and I ask that anyone in the reform movement join in this project.

In Iraq, the US issued playing cards to the soldiers with pictures of the Iraqis that they wanted dead or alive. There is someone that is going to have cards printed with some of the infamous sub-humans that were cannabis warriors. but there will also be goog guys.

This is where I would ask something of Nol and his staff for a certain contribution. We would like Nol to put up a playing card of himself in an effort that morphs the ribbons worn by groups such as the yellow ribbons worn in support of AIDs victims. We would like him to make a card for himself and put up here at hempcity. We would like to see someone put up a card for Biz Ivol at thc4MS.org. I would also like to have one for Colin Davies.

I think this is an absolutely huge deal. The cards are going to be made and I will keep you informed of this idea as best I can. We are asking that Nol furnish us with a card that could be printed without any copyright violation.

Thank God for cannabisnews.com

Could there be little banner ads for relevant sites, yippe?

Maybe they'll all choose to promote the cards that way.

(pot-tv, marijuana.com, cannabisculture, norml, leap . . . better ask first!)

Any ideas or anything can be sent to the e-mail address of Operation Cannabis Freedom - endCP@hotmail.com.

This is activist capitalism of the kind Marc Emery has espoused up in Vancouver. I have visited The Green zone and am very impressed with what he has accompished there. He will be one of the first mailed a deck, I am sure the BC marijuana party book store will sell them.

But now it is back to the drawing board. I have to fix my linux install first before I begin. I want this entire project done on a linux machine. Linux goes to the core philosophical outlook of Operation Cannabis Freedom.

Perhaps a trial printing of a smaller number would be good to start, perhaps with a domestic printer. I would like to have them made in the USA.

People have to know that we are the true patriots, only the CEO class sends american jobs to India.

Hemp cardstock would be nice, but would probably drive up the price.

I think at $5 dollars a pack they would sell very quickly. I am going to start assembling the list of prohibs with quotes today. I am going to start a hotmail e-mail address, where you guys can send any ideas - pictures of prohibs - memorable quotes.

The first mentioned of playing cards in Europe was a law banning thm in Venice in 1376.

Tarot cards were first heard of in 1442 and soon afterwards they began to be used as a fortune telling system. That was when mystical meanings were attached to the suits.

The mystical meanings attached to the Taror card suits of cups, coins, swords and rods came out of the mysticism and rebellion against the Pope that was brewing in the artistic counterculture that powered the Renaissance. Some of it is alchemical, and alchemy invokes a lot of influences, like Egyptian religion and Kabbalism and Sufism.

Cups are connected to emotional well being, coins to money and physical health, rods to passion and artistry, and swords to logic, reason, and survival.

Tiny excerpt: "If we want to find the followers of Jesus in our day, we need to look in the prisons, to those in shackles, to those being beaten and brutalized."

Getting creative with the suits is also a must.

The reason I thought playing cards was that a lot of people use playing cards for a lot of different games.

Trading cards is a good idea, im just not sure there would be as big of a market, unless we came up with a game for it, like magic the gathering cards.

We could get all prohibitionists throughout the ages like harry anslinger and co.

2900 dollars is a huge amount for me. I want to sell all of my personal property anyway including my car. It would be a risk.

I think that is very cheap and had no idea a person could pull off a big idea with that little money. Of course a lot of the effort would be in the work itself.

The playing cards would be the highest ambition and like always, my unemployed self thinks on things like that. I thought of their role in some movie where they would call them prison cards. You know passing a way the years for a joint in the joint.

The one game a person plays alone is solitaire. Now for this you only need two colors. So the cards could be black for the bad guys and white for the good guys. I agree that 52 would be a lot of drug warriors, not that there is a shortage. I would consider the idea of good guys too.

If Marc Emery were on a card, he would help promote it. If Ed Rosenthall were on a card he might give them as gifts. If Jack Herer is on it, it will show your heart is in the right place. Think of the people that support Valarie Corral and how they would want something that honored them.

This would give a person a reason to contact anybody that is anybody in the reform movement. They could furnish you with pictures and history and give you blessing and some word of mouth.

I can only give you encouragement, but it would really help if someone could pull it off. There would be another way to go of course and that would be on uses. There could be a hemp suite, and a medical suite with a red cross, maybe. Recreational could be the famous green leaf we see even here at Cnews and give a green and red combination for Christmas.

It leaves the body through the usual channels.

It made him gain 50 pounds. It made me gain about 20. It really isn't pleasant dropping that much weight that fast. It just starts to drop off when the drug is withdrawn.

It's a horrible drug. I hope some day some cannabinoid or something safer than prednisone can replace it.

Amplification to Judge Gray- Libertarian Candidate for Senate in California calling for the outright legalization of cannabis. He says it would save California a billion a year and bring in 2 billion a year in revenue.

Judge Gray is the real deal. It would be the strongest of messages to the two party system that unite for a WOD and the demonization of laughing grass and people that consume it. He will be running against the incumbent Democratic Senator Boxer.

Thank you Judge Gray for running for Senate and talking sense in your campaign. I hope you win. A win for you is a win for us all.

Speaking of Mars - think about this: The current Mars rover mission cost $820 million. Bush spent $87 billion this year in Iraq, plus he increased annual defense spending $100 billion (from $300 to $400 billion).

To put in perspective, Bush has spent enough $$ on military adventurism to have 456 rovers combing the Martian surface right now!

And they can't run a 30 second spot that more accurately reflects the true state of affairs in this country than any of their other advertising?

Ted Kopel's, ABC (wasn't it) got exposed by Kucinich...

We're on a roll... and on a spiritual schedule... 4:20, to expose the truth.

These stations are on a mission that directly harms Our planet and its inhabitants.

I only like the talk about Mars, if We can send all cannabis prohibitionists there 1st. Go long, boys, go long.

Then the Mars rover will be thought of as an American Bush Terrorizer Dog.
