Sorry if this is a stupid question, but you're teaching us how to not get busted...but also saying that getting busted (830,000 in 2006) is letting everyone know that the laws are not working...if we don't get arrested, (which I hope I don't, but for sake of....), they'll just think they're laws are working....no?


Oh, and I know it's been tried before, but what about a massive turn yourself in day or smoke in public day type thing...with you and others standing up, more people would hear about it, and hopefully do it on time.

I love what you're doing, and don't want to be negative..just to be sure everything is for the best!

I feel bad now...please don't hate me!!! frown

i just cant understand the logic of turning oneself in,,what does this accomplish,,seriously im not making the connection,,can someone explain it,,civil disobedience ,,smoking in public in protest,,maybe i can see that to bring awareness,,but from the outside looking in .when one turns theirselves in to me it just makes that person look like a fool and probably does to many others ..i just dont get it,,,enlighten me

and well,,i dont see how getting busted is helping anything either.it causes way more destruction then helping anything i believe

true, true...I was just thinking if over half of the American population was arrested in one weekend, they couldn't hold us all...I agree it's not to bright, unless it really worked.

I think you might do better by turning yourself into Johnny Weedseed and go on an undercover planting spree. It might make it a lot harder to incarcerate someone for possessing a plant that was growing everywhere in your town. It is not an original idea but I like how it shows people how harmless a pot plant is. It also might help to show people how useful (a million and one uses) hemp is to society. Good Luck!

The laws are what the laws are. We live in a country that enforces those laws as we try to change the bad ones. I teach people how to NeverGetBusted because bad drug laws can be fought much better OUTSIDE OF JAIL than inside a jail.

I was once a trucker, we tried several times to organize a nationwide strike. The creative line of thought was that as soon as stores were out of Kotex we would have leverage, hehe. But seriously trying to organize anything for all stoners is, (pardon the bad anology) like herding cats. We are not all for Ron Paul, to unite all people of any group would require the second coming of Jesus. Period.

Maybe true, but I def am a firm believer that one man can make a difference and babylon's greatest tactic is making people believe that isn't so. Then they can takeover.

Think of the greatest movements in history: Martin Luther,Hitler,Bush,Jesus! (tru or not look at his legacy its huge) and many others some good alot bad, it all starts with one man one seed one vision, and when you run with vision and passion and fire others jump on your wagon, most people want to be led lets call it transference of responsibility.
Sometimes it takes a martyr. LIke B.I.G said "your nobody until you die".
Or suffer, for the sake of others and a cause.

(Emery, my thoughts are with you Man!)
