We, the people, of the Unites States of America, are blessed in that we have the wonderful privelage of LEADING our government...

The first step toward legalization requires increasing the popular acceptance of marijuana. This is already happening in seval ways. A few of today's celebrities/politicians openly support marijuana legalization. Marijuana use has become a popular theme in television, movies, and printed media. The more information that the general public is exposed to, the more accustomed they become to the subject matter. Let's look at an example: Just a few decades ago, it was unheard of for a man and a woman to appear even sitting on a bed together. Compare that with the standards of today. How did those standards change? It happened because the media has steadily increased the intensisty of our exposure to bedroom play. In the same way, everyone who has an interest in legalization should seek to spread the word that marijuana is OK. The goal should not be to create activists on a large scale, but to create a population that accepts the idea of marijuana legalization.

So now the question becomes: How do we increase that acceptance?


1) We must educate ourselves. Read as much as possible about the benefits of marijuana and the truth about popular myths. The more we know the better we will be able to say "WHY" marijuana should be legal. We must learn to recognize the limitations of its use, as well (i.e., age limitations, driving responsibilities, etc.).

2) We must share our knowledge of marijuana until it becomes common knowledge. Each person who has a say should say it, in as many ways as possible. The internet is a POWERFUL tool for spreading the word to a multitude of people from many different backgrounds. We must convince each person we interact with that they, too, need to learn and spread the word.
