Ok So I was wrong about these bills being finished. When the sub-committee ‘tabled’ the bill, it just means that the sub-committee wasn’t going to vote on it. So the bills now go back to the full house for a vote. Now is the time to be emailing your delegates. You can get all the email addresses for the Courts of Justice on my previous post here. Email them, call them, and show up to their office. If you’re tired of sneaking around, now’s your time to speak up about it. Without your delegates knowing what you want, how can you complain when you don’t get what you want?

It looks like the bills are going to be squashed. The bills were ‘tabled’ I didn’t know exactly what it meant. I just Google’d it, and this is what it came up with….
Table a Bill:
Motions to table, or to “lay on the table,” are used to block or kill amendments or other parliamentary questions. When approved, a tabling motion is considered the final disposition of that issue. One of the most widely used parliamentary procedures, the motion to table is not debatable, and adoption requires a simple majority vote.
In the Senate, however, different language is sometimes used. The motion may be worded to let a bill “lie on the table,” perhaps for subsequent “picking up.” This motion is more flexible, keeping the bill pending for later action, if desired. Tabling motions on amendments are effective debate-ending devices in the Senate.
Sounds like to me that it’s going to die. It was a great attempt for Mr. Morgan. Way to go sir!

So the subcommittee on crime is meeting. I’ve tried to find a feed on it without any luck. As far as I know they started at 3pm EST. And Delegate Morgan had quite a few bills ahead of him. Once I know something, I’ll let you know.

To all potheads, stop hiding! Now is our time. There’s been a bill pre-filed to remove most of the penalties from marijuana, including growing. I know you sit there, hiding and smoking wishing one day that you would be able to smoke it without breaking the law. Well that time has come. It will still be illegal to possess marijuana, but the penalty would not be a prison sentence, rather a fine. We’re one step closer; the link for House Bill 1134 is here. Pass it around, tell anyone and everyone. The stats for the bill are as follows…
I see all the bullshit idiotic public figures trashing the idea before they even debate it with people that know what they’re talking about. So what people act goofy when they smoke pot? Have you ever watched a room full of drunks when you’re sober? Now that’s funny. When marijuana is smoked, it does impair our vision to be only clearer. Foods taste better. When was the last time alcohol helped regain one’s appetite? In the 13 states where marijuana is legal for medicinal purposes you have the option to use marijuana. No, allergies will not get you a weed card. AIDS, Cancer, and Multiple Sclerosis patients could use something a lot healthier for them, instead of dangerous addictive pain meds.
Have we become so dumb to sit back, and not believe fact? New Jersey is on the verge of legalization of medical marijuana. Since it’s still illegal, what’s going to happen is that the people that live under the poverty line? They will end up selling their marijuana in order to pay bills. Seen it with food stamps, seen it with pain meds. States like this will begin to see the potential of marijuana, and the tax revenue, finally legalizing it as a recreational drug.

HB 1134

Washington, DC: The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), the nation’s oldest and most well respected grassroots marijuana law reform organization, today announced the launch of the NORML Women’s Alliance.
In the article I received in my email, it states that recent national opinion polls by Gallup and others show the dramatic rise in the public’s support of marijuana law reform is being driven primarily by an increase in support among America’s women. Now, I can’t believe that it’s all by women, but I’d be willing to bet, that women were a large chunk of the increase, but not all. Still good news though.
Marijuana is becoming more and more popular these days. While working one day, a couple came through, as I was helping them, I was also eavesdropping on their conversation. The male says to the female, “I am so high right now” she replies “I am too, I can’t wait to get home to finish that blunt”. They were talking about it as normal conversation, people could hear, and did. I hear this all the time; I don’t feel marijuana is a bad thing. Be responsible. Stay at home and smoke, don’t go running the street while baked outta your minds. I’m not saying that marijuana causes people to drive badly, but it does impair your judgment, so remember be responsible.

I know I know, it’s been a long time. Due to the holiday season, school, work, and family time, I haven’t had a lot of free time to post. I’ve read tons of stuff on California, and Canada and decriminalize marijuana. I only have 2 more classes and I’ll have my degree, then I’ll have a lot of free time. Until then. Please. Keep on keepin on.
Well I guess he’s no ‘Liar’. Henry Rollins always makes me listen to him somehow. He could be bitching about cute puppies, and I would still listen to him. In this video he’s totally right, we need to get angry, we need democracy. All the controls in place just restrict us more and more everyday.

A number of you expressed that the shirts are a little too expensive just for a shirt. I can agree with that statement, with any other shirt. This isn’t just a shirt, it’s a symbol of pride. It’s saying “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore” It’s high time that the normal everyday marijuana users stop being afraid of what people will say or think, In every movement, there’s always a view that most don’t agree with imagine if Martin Luther King Jr. never took his infamous walk.
In other news, I’ve dropped the price of the shirt to $17 bucks. You can obtain one by either emailing me directly, or visiting beach city customs in their Lynnhaven Mall location.
701 Lynnhaven Parkway on the second floor by the carousel, you can call them at (757) 486-1486. All you need to ask for is “Canyouhearus shirts”
