Harvest Fest Attendees Renew Push For Legalization

MADISON, Wis. -- Hundreds gathered on Madison's Library Mall Saturday to celebrate the Great Midwest Marijuana Harvest Festival. This year's festival had a broader goal in mind -- legalizing all marijuana.

Some attendees, such as Jacki Rickert, a medicinal marijuana user, said their involvement had less to do with legalizing pot and more about legalizing their choice of medication. Rickert credits medicinal marijuana with easing the pain of her connective tissue disorder as well as helping her maintain a healthy weight. For Rickert, the benefits of medicinal marijuana are clear: "You have a much better chance at living life instead of just existing using cannabis," said Rickert.

Rickert is putting her beliefs into action, as her "Medical Memorial Act," which has the goal of legalizing medicinal marijuana in Wisconsin, will be introduced to the state Legislature this week. The introduction of a separate bill, which would authorize a study about the economic benefits of hemp cultivation, will follow. As Rickert said, "The marijuana issue is sort of the tip of the iceberg."

Patient activist Gary Storck is also working to legalize it, as he believes legalizing marijuana would reduce crime as well as create safer places for users to smoke.

Storck claims one of the biggest hurdles to legalization is the belief that marijuana use leads to the use of "harder" drugs, a belief that Storck does not share.

The festival ends Sunday. The traditional parade will begin at 3 p.m. on State Street, and will conclude on the steps of the State Capitol with closing remarks and live music.

I literally just got back from the Harvest Festival a couple of hours ago, it was cool as fuck, and I was baked as fuck the whole time.

I was there both Saturday for the live music and Sunday for the march. They had this little information center set up both days.

A majority of the info was on marijuana but I found this little part about psychedelics.

Saturday was cool and the live music was nice, but the after party was fucking awesome. It was like the Madison Cannabis Cup.


The march on Sunday was cool as fuck. Everyone just walking down state street everyone with a joint in hand.


I'm gonna make a little post about it after I finish watching the Packers kill the Bears.

I'm 100% sure weed will either be decriminalized or completely legalized sometime in my lifetime (I'm 22) after what I saw at Harvest Fest. There were hundreds and hundreds of people smoking weed right out in the open in downtown Madison within feet of police. If the cops are going to allow that to happen I'm sure it's not long before the rest of the world pulls their head out of their ass and realizes that it's just a plant and its a lot less harmful than alcohol.

LEGALIZE IT!
