Did you go to prison Yogabunny?  That was a rumor around here for a while after that incident where you guys got in trouble on the way to a concert.

PS. I was the one that made that epic yogabunny thread in the Romper.  Come say hi to us!:heart:

I may have to look into that Students for Sensible Drug Policy chapter. I'm DAMN SURE they have one in Manhattan if not at my school.

yogabunny, this is awesome.  I haven't watched it yet, but I will tomorrow or Friday when I get a chance.

This community is full of complaints about the drug war, but unfortunately the complainers often seem to wallow as computer chair-locked slactivists.  If only people knew how easy it was to become a part of the resistance, and had the motivation to start.

It's really great to see that a fellow Shroomerite has dedicated at least a portion his/her life to actually fighting the horrific drug war.  I hope this thread inspires many others to join us and legalize drugs. :smile2:

are you in college?  check out Students for a Sensible Drug policy, http://www.ssdp.org/. ; If you don't have a chapter at your school - START ONE!




:bigyesnod:

Even if you are not a student, you can still join a local SSDP chapter near you!  This organization generally welcomes anyone enthusiastic to show up to meetings and events- regardless of age or status.  Seriously.  Depending on the school's regulations you may not be on the colleges' officer roster, but it doesn't really matter and you'll making a difference by ending prohibition.





thank you!

yes, it's really as easy as copying all the links i posted here and circulating them around your personal networks.  when it comes to the war on drugs i see this overwhelming sense of apathy, even with the shroomery community, which is extremely disappointing, but what can ya do???  as someone whose life has been enriched by the use of psychedelic compounds, i see it as my duty and responsible to spread the truth and raise awareness on this issue. 

we REALLY can do something here folks.  if every person browsing the pub right now donated 10 dollars to our kickstarter campaign we'd be close to 40% funded, and that much closer to being able to bring screenings to smaller cities all over the US.  if every shroomery member donated ONE DOLLAR, shit, we'd be able to take this thing all over the WORLD.

Sanho Tree says something toward the end of the film that I find extremely powerful and I can't find it right now, but it's something along the lines of - if you had asked the American public in 1900 if they thought black people or women would ever have equal ("equal") rights, how would they have reacted?  20 & 60 years later respectively we have women's suffrage and the civil rights movement.  we are in a great position right now, and i think if we can spread truth and awareness (and of course i think this film is a great vehicle for that) than we can affect some MAJOR change in our lifetimes.  I found it!  Check it out at 1:56  "The only thing that's inevitable is change"

<chills>

   

and yeah, soooo many members here are college students, and SSDP are amazing.  i am hoping that the NYU & Columbia chapters are going to co-sponsor/host my event in NYC on May 6th and am talking to one of the Associate Directors about a HUGE event in SF this summer.

i was in custody (the drunk tank) for about 11 hours.  i am now on diversion felony probation for 12 years.  should be eligible for early discharge after i complete half successfully.  although, due to the patriot act the arrest will ALWAYS show up on my record, even though there will be no felony convictions once i complete my probation successfully, this thing will follow me around for the rest of my life.

Ethan Nadelmann is king.  I got to see him speak a couple of months ago.  It was nothing short of amazing.

If there's anyone who should lead the movement it's certainly Ethan.

I wonder if Ethan is friends with Sting and Montel.  They did that ad:



How connected is the Exile Nation Project with SSDP?  They could see about getting screenings done and promoted through the chapters, eh?

Great post yoga!

I'm not one to go out to a movie but I like watching them and this seems pretty interesting.
I have seen a documentry on no victim prison sentences and it discussed me knowing that you can go to prison for no reason other than enjoying yourself.
I have no money to donate,but if you can give me a file I would be more than happy to create a DVD for you to sell for the cause.
I think that there would be many people that would love to own a copy and would be willing to pay for it.
I also think that this film will aid to the changes in the laws of victimless crimes in the next 10 years.
Let me know if my services can assist you in our crusade.
