About

The purpose of this site is NOT to advocate smoking weed. In order to be EFFECTIVE REVOLUTIONARIES for nonviolent social change, we must make the sacrifice of OBEYING THE LAW as it is, in every way. We must be UNASSAILABLE, UNIMPEACHABLE, IMPERVIOUS to accusations of purely selfish motives. On the day that we win the fight, on the day that we CHANGE THE LAW, that is the day we can roll up the biggest damned fatty you've ever seen and celebrate an unimaginably righteous triumph not witnessed since the end of ignorant prohibition. IT CAN BE DONE and WE CAN BE THE CHANGE WE SEEK IN THE WORLD! But we must follow the examples of leaders of every cause in history; of Gandhi, of MLK, of Mandela. We must be the example and we must win because of the uncontested moral superiority of our cause. When we break the law, when we flaunt the system, we Give the System Power Over Us. Do not let them suck you in! Fight the Good Fight and our day of victory, the day of Full Legalization of Marijuana will come!
