A new group has been formed in Connecticut. Formed through A Better Way Foundation http://www.abwf-ct.org/
A Better Way Foundation - CT will be convening a meeting on January 19, 2011 from 6pm-7:30, 127 Martin Street, Hartford to discuss primarily the 2011 medical marijuana campaign but also collaborative efforts for all drug policy efforts this legislative session. You are invited to attend this meeting and please bring with you any information that would be helpful in developing a collaborative and comprehensive campaign for the year.
We are in the process of organizing many fundraisers, (one of which is a PENGUIN PLUNGE) and are trying to get Inmates (past and prest) as well as patients in need of MMJ who would allow us to use their name (inmate number) on the back of sweatshirts for each "penguin"
We feel that having a specific person who is willing to share their story to the uneducated or ignorant would benefit in our efforts for decrim, medicinal etc.

$113 billion is spent on marijuana every year in the U.S., and because of the prohibition *every* dollar of it goes straight into the hands of criminals. Far from preventing people from using marijuana, the prohibition instead creates zero legal supply amid massive and unrelenting demand.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the ONDCP, two-thirds of the Mexican drug cartel's money comes from selling marijuana in the U.S., and they protect this cash flow by brutally torturing, murdering and dismembering thousands of innocent people.
If we can STOP people using marijuana then we need to do so now, but if we can't then we need to legalize the production and sale of marijuana to adults with after-tax prices set too low for the cartels to match. One way or the other, we have to force the cartels out of the marijuana market and eliminate their highly lucrative marijuana incomes - no business can withstand the loss of two-thirds of its revenue!
To date, the cartels have amassed more than 100,000 "foot soldiers" and operate in 230 U.S. cities, and the longer they're able to exploit the prohibition the more powerful they're going to get and the more our own personal security is put in jeopardy.
Excellent points. Agree with pretty much everything you said. But, stopping people from using marijuana is a waste of time for many different reasons, although I do know what you're saying. A fix to the border violence is #1 on your list. I would also like a solution to border violence AND I would like to finally have the personal freedoms most Americans think we already have.
