420

Posted on April 20, 2011 by Pete

If you’re in the area of Illinois State University today, stop by the quad (or Bowling and billiards center if weather is bad) from 4-6 pm for 420 Solidarity: Hempfest sponsored by Young Americans for Liberty and SSDP.

I’ll be speaking around 4:30 pm, just after judging a cigarette rolling contest.

This is an open 420 thread.

    4/20: International Day of Cannabis Freedom
    By Jeremiah Vandermeer, Cannabis Culture – Monday, April 18 2011
    April 20 is the international day of cannabis freedom: a day of global celebration, a show of appreciation for a truly amazing and versatile plant, and an impressive display of solidarity by an oppressed but resilient culture. The War on Marijuana rages across the planet. Every day brings new stories of abuses of the rights of citizens, expansions of the prisons system, bloody turmoil in Mexico, threats and intimidation against medical marijuana users in the United States and Canada, and even executions of non-violent citizens for involvement with marijuana and other drugs. full story

    This year is sure to see larger chronic-smoking crowds than ever, and CC wants to publish photos and videos of the 4/20 gathering in your city. Send links or content to jeremiah@cannabisculture.com

      MARIJUANA ADVOCATE

      It Ain’t Fair, John Sinclair

      UCSC alumnus
      by Becky Johnson Saturday Apr 16th, 2011

      …is likely to be disruptive????

      The ONLY disruption this event has EVER CAUSED
      has come from UCSC officials who restrict access to
      campus to those who wish to attend business there.

      The event itself—a peaceful, public assembly in civil disobedience of a law against cannabis–has never been disruptive of any sanctioned campus activity.

      Bring back parking! Bring back bus access!
      Stop this pre-emptive attack on peaceable assembly by our best and our brightest!!

      Oh, and check out the video I did two years ago:

    The Know Nothing prohibitionist is once again befuddled, and asks, “Hey, has anyone seen the day? My calendar is missing the 20th of April.”

    The potheads respond, “too bad. We stole today fair and square, it’s our property now and we’re not giving it back.”

    Happy birthday Adolph baby!

    Since cannabis is still illegal in almost every country, what exactly is there to celebrate?

      You say the cup is only 1/2 full.

      Someone else says it’s only 1/2 empty.

      I say the glass is at 50% of capacity.
