Nice video. I do believe it is very important, however, there are much bigger fights to be sought after in this time. The energy directed towards these things, towards preventing drug policies to change is simply a stray from the direction necessary to keep this Earth in balance.

Thank you for the share nonetheless.

Good stuff yogabunny, very informative.

As it says at the end, things are changing.  The tipping point is being reached, if it hasn't already.  I hope not too late to get your legal difficulties reduced.

And of course, you looked lovely as always :love:

Great post yoga!

Those bastards kept me in a holding cell for 12 hours, I feel your pain. Cold as hell, concrete bed, and they refused to give me a blanket.





i will never forget how cold and alone i felt in there.  i remember one of the cops being like, "it's going to be a while, so why don't you get some rest."  :rolleyes:

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.





I will talk to charles about this.  As I mentioned before we are a Creative Commons, non-commercial/not-for-profit production, so anyone who wants to can make copies of the dvd to give out.  i don't know that we'd want to "sell" them per se, but would definitely accept donations in exchange for dvd copies.

Such as?  please elaborate, I am very curious what bigger fights you speak of.  Also the second sentence doesn't make any sense.  We are not trying to prevent drug policies from changing, we are trying to spread awareness so they do indeed change.  There are many important issues that need energy, and I think that this for me is where I need to direct mine, and as this is a psychedelic drug forum, I think it's a big issue for the community at large as well.

The ramifications of this 40 year, one trillion dollar social catastrophe are far reaching, and it's not just about, hey man, let me get high in peace.  It is about no longer letting the powers that be lead us, through propaganda and half-truths, to live a fear based existence.  It's about empowering ourselves and others to make informed decisions, based on truth and knowledge, and not fear. 

Can you imagine how much money we'd have to spend on things like health care, scientific research, education, arts, space exploration, if we weren't spending billions of dollars a year on the drug war/prison industrial complex?  yes, billons.  you can track how much we're spending here:

http://drugsense.org/cms/wodclock

it's sick. 


Anyway, thanks everyone for watching, I appreciate the support and comments more than you can imagine!!!

:bunnyhug:


… It’s just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear wants you to put bigger locks on your door, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead see all of us as one.

Here’s what we can do to change the world right now, to a better ride:

Take all that money we spent on weapons and defense each year and instead spend it feeding, clothing, and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and WE CAN EXPLORE SPACE, TOGETHER, BOTH INNER AND OUTER, forever … in peace.

– Bill Hicks (1961 – 1994)

YogaBunny, thank you so much for posting this and whatever role you played in the video's production.

I've started drafting letters to my local representatives on numerous occasions only to blow it off. However, while watching the movie today I wrote a page letter to one of my state reps. I'm just waiting on a buddy to proof read it before sending it out. Additionally, I posted a link on my facebook page encouraging everyone to watch it over the Easter weekend.

I really count my blessings that I've never been caught. I realize how much a drug charge, or any charge for that matter can alter the trajectory of one's life. Its an unfortunate thing.

Finally, my work will match 50c on the dollar for financial contributions. I am going to see if they would match a contribution to SSDP, NORML or another reform minded organization. I'll also be donating some amount to the film's website.

PS since you seem to know Charles please pass on my compliments on the film.

Haha, well yes, I am in the film talking about my own arrest and have been doing all the planning, marketing, promotions & PR for the NYC screening, so yeah, I know him a bit.  :wink:  I am definitely going to make sure he reads this thread. 

Also, I will say again that it makes me so happy to see people getting inspired and active!  Yes!  Write your state representatives and keep me posted!

:bunnypeace:

Drug Policy Reform groups are a great cause to support, and if your company does a matching program I hope you will consider supporting our Kickstarter Campaign so that we'll be able to continue to build our archive of interviews (We would like to wind up with 100 to represent the 1 in 100 Americans currently incarcerated) and to continue to hold screenings of the film.

If we reach our Kickstarter goal, I personally will have the opportunity to produce an interview/segment for The Exile Nation Project, a story that is very close to my heart, and that is really the reason I got involved in Drug Policy Reform activism about a year ago.  There's a link to the thread about Roderick "Rudd" Walker in the OP if you want to know more, but briefly, he is 7 years into a LIFE (without parole, i believe) sentence for "lsd conspiracy". If you don't know what "conspiracy" is, then watch the film and you will find out through Amy Povah's, and others' stories.

Great movie.  I particularly like the guy at the end (2:03).  Brought such clarity to the issue.  Thanks and I gave $$.

If you're interested in advocacy, be sure to visit MAPS.  Through their efforts, clinical trials have resumed on MDMA and other drugs.

Great movie indeed... thanks so much for posting this!  The subject matter, for obvious reasons, hit very close to home and I felt the interview format that let people share their personal real life stories was extremely effective.  Very cool.

It already exists in the form of the film you saw and about 50 interviews total, most of which didn't make it into the film.  We want to ultimately have 100 total, which would represent the 1 in 100 Americans currently incarcerated.

Nice catch Shroomgatherer :thumbup: thanks for pointing that one out, my brain missed the italics somehow :smile:

Anyway after reading this:

I went back to the OP and didn't see the link, but maybe I missed it.

But I went over to Kickstarter and threw in $50 for the project after reading that part, as you all know this is very close to my heart. I wish I could contribute more financially, but you know, for the screenings you're doing in NY, I'd be more than willing to arrange for a donation of pendants. I can send you up a display tray of 25 pendants all labeled and ready to go, and the Exile Nation Project can keep 100% of the proceeds (maybe you/they can mail me back the empty tray when you're done :smile:). Just PM me if they can figure out the logistics at the theaters...maybe just put the tray by the concession stand or whatever...and we'll figure out how to make that happen too. I try to support in any way I can :smile:

Light and Love,
