Ten DANK things you can do to help legalize marijuana (in no particular order).
1. Write a letter to a policy maker. This can be local, state or federal level-if we all take the time to do this it makes a huge difference. Take a few minutes to an hour to draft a letter-then once a week take five minutes-send it to a different official, when there is a bill related to marijuana you will have a good base. DANK recommends using a government website or visiting http://www.makepotlegal555.org to find address information for legislators.
2. Encourage others to write their legislators-each time you write to one, pass the name and address around to your like minded friends-get them writing in, too.
3. Volunteer for a Pro-Cannabis event! Look on online, maybe there is one in your area-there are several on the DANKinfo website and at least once volunteer for Seattle Hempfest-you will be impacted in unimaginable ways. For more info: http://hempfest.org/drupal/Volunteers
4. Attend a Pro-Cannabis event! Bring your friends and family members-especially those that would like to be better educated on the drug war and related issues. See the DANKinfo website for a list and once again, I must say (maybe I am biased) at least once in your life attend Seattle Hempfest-the third week of August. See http://www.hempfest.org/drupal for more info. Another good choice is the Global Marijuana March (www.globalmarijuanamarch.org). Check the website for it-there is likely a march planned near you—if not see #9
5. Support organizations such as LEAP, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (http://www.leap.cc/cms/index.php), where the proponents of changing the law are those whom have enforced it and seen the failures first hand. Methods of support include donating, volunteering, passing out fliers, attending events, passing on info, re-posting MySpace bulletins, etc.
6. Donate money to those organizations who are influencing policy change-great examples are NORML (www.norml.org),
Maybe you don't think this is a big deal-I mean the economy is in turmoil, people are losing money, times are hard, right?
Well, Privatized prisons are doing just fine. See how Corrections Corporation of America (the largest private prion corporation) saw a profit increase of over 13% in 2008.
Please take the time to educate yourself, your family, your friends. The life you save could be yours or theirs.
It's my body, right? Wouldn't it be better to spend a fraction of this money on education and treatment, than to lock good people away in cages for crimes against themselves?
Wikipedia says=="A private prison, jail, or detention center is a place in which individuals are physically confined or interned for profit."
so far this year: 1,893,086 Arrests for drug law offenses 831,064 just for Cannabis over $50,787,842,000 spent total (federal and state spending) 1:10am PST December 31, 2008
In 2009, I will strive to do more to educate others on benefits of ending the Prison Industrial Complex and the War on personal freedom. I hope you will join with me.
Happy New Year, may we all know Peace, Love, and Ganja Goodness, forever and ever, DANK Momma Glo
