Cannabis must remain Free
When I’m dead I will not be concerned with matters of The state, my deeper concerns will be about my soul’s place.
This citizen says Free Cannabis
My prayers to the Chinese People
My Prayers to Muslims
GOD BLESS
STAY IN THE LIGHT
FREE CANNABIS
Thank You Mr. Montel Williams
Can you run for President of these United States?
I know you are burdened with a disease
But I I Love
I just do not understand why it is still kept illeagel,there are so many beniffits
Thsi can help me up here in Canada thank you NoRML and all you people for the movement. Pot for Peace is what I want to hear. Lets make it happen!!
What is happening in Illinois? How can I help?
I like the online video feed that gives the impression that so many people are smoking weed. I’m sure plenty of people have tried it, but weed probably won’t ever be as popular as booze, because booze requires no imagination. Booze is easy. Booze feeds the animal nature. Booze makes people stupid, and some prefer that state of being. I think about that TV show, The Sopranos, and how the mafia is always drinking.
Weed requires input from the user. Weed is a spiritual high that takes people closer to the light, the Goddess, goodness, the eternal truth. It’s no wonder that the forces of evil oppose weed. It is no coincidence that the most backward states are also the ones where people prefer drunkenness to getting high. The states with more intelligent and educated people are also the states where more people have tried cannabis. Go figure.
I believe that with all the budget problems we have that all the revenue including from legalizing marijuana can work to get us out of debt. And everybody wins! Imagine not having anymore money problems. Think about it, everyone wins!
I know this shouldn’t matter…but seeing Olive Garden sponsor Norml TV is really great to see. It’s great that a mainstream name like that isn’t afraid to attach itself to this anymore. 2012
Happy happy! … whatever! this means. Yes I am drunk but after 30 years of wishing for something to happen this just seems trivial.
Hey guys, just wanted to promote my site a little to help network, I’ve got a lot of ideas and am just looking to activism as a viable option in my life
Wish I could be there with my crew from Tennessee NORML but thanks for running the live feed, I will be watching.
It’s working great, let’s get started.
Applause for LEAP!
@Nic, It was good having him at the conference, but president? Nope
why? He clearly stated that he is NOT for legalization. He just wants the medical people to have weed and leave the rest of the country in a war.
unless, i am not seeing the whole picture or missed something.
re: Montel Williams as President of these United States Of America
I think He would be a better Leader than Obama
Obama inhaled and has not delivered Eric Holder has said and yet the Nazi Police State controls every one here in The USA
My Mind and Soul is a Gift from GOD as it has been written that every man is a Son Of GOD
Cannabis is a gateway to THE Everlasting
Getting back to financial realities this war on drugs, is too expensive, too many drug cops,
