I'm glad you're concerned about morality, will you help us end the longest standing civil war our county has seen? Medical marijuana patients and caregivers are increasingly attacked by Michigans drug task forces--regardless of their status as state sanctioned patients and caregivers. I'm sure you're equally outraged about the will of the voters not being respected will equal that of celebrating drug use. After all, votes wanted to remove sick and dying people out of harms way of this war, and somehow, instead they've got the guys with guns and masks kicking in their doors, pointing guns at them and charging them with felonies. While opening smoking marijuana in public may not be something parents want to subject their children to--this is the longest running WAR PROTEST of the failed war on marijuana that we have in Michigan. The stories published about Hash Bash covered the first time, state wide effort to repeal marijuana prohibition and the first time appearance of Steve DeAngelo, who witnessed the federal government raiding a wheelchair bound man in CA last Wednesday --just blocks from where a sniper was shooting 7 people dead. THAT'S what the cops are suppose to be doing. Your life, your children and your ability to practice the religion of your choice are all affected by this war. It skews policy priorities to the point where about 65-70% of all reported rapes and murders go unsolved so that police can chase marijuana users. To help you with a little perspective, I think UM football games are an equal embarrassment for our community. More crime is generated at ONE football game than has occurred surrounding dispensaries in the last THREE YEARS. I have been harassed by roaming bands of drunken, aggressive football fans, nearly run over, had beer and pop cans THROWN at me from passing cars. One guy stole a Gator Aid vehicle last fall and there are plenty of assaults that occur from the drinking and idiocy.

To a Voice and not a name, This is a plant and not a drug. It is a medicinal herb that helps so many people that you can't even imagine. All those peoplein those pictures seem to know more about this plant then those making negative comments about how strong some of us feel about how we maintain life and what we use for our health. www.repealtoday.org is a good place to start helping to end prohibition.

Whats so clownish about people gathering and having a good time speaking about something that interests them. It occurs to me that a lot of people are doing that today. Are they clowns? Is it a waste of time? Is it....your time?
