When we realize that the "ways" of the movement are not working and NEW groups with NEW ideas like MPP are the ones that will work TODAY.

While Cheech and Chong movies are funny to US, they are NOT funny to the public at large.

The modern potsmoker needs to far remove themselves from any similarity in conduct to them.

OR, we can forget about it and go back to business as usual of breaking the law and abandon any hope of ever seeing legalization.

Cheech and Chong not funny? You lie!

There are already threads about this subject. Do a search before you start a thread.

Don't tell me what I need, especially something like changing my ways because the government regulates whats legal to consume.

I said, "While Cheech and Chong movies are funny to US........"

I love Cheech and Chong movies and watch them whenever they are on TV.

You are free to act ANY way you want, even if it is hurtful to the chances of legalization.

It's people with that attitude that WILL destroy and HAVE destroyed the hope of legalization and will continue to do so until they decide to be a responsible marijuana smoker.

If you would care to look, NORML has cartoon with some general guidelines here:

http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=5408

If you don't care to look, the basic point to look at is #9.

It states:

DONT LOOK LIKE A POTHEAD.
A SQUARE IS LESS OF A TARGET THAN A FREAK.
SAD AND UNFAIR, BUT TRUE.

So, act and look ANY damn way you please, but if your conduct helps the drug war and hurts chances of pot being legalized, blame yourself...................

If you are stubborn and wish to act like Cheech and Chong and end up getting busted because you were an "easy target", rest assured, you will eat, sleep, ****-shower-and shave when the prison guards tell you to. EVERY damn day you are in jail.

That is a given.

So, you can act respectable out here, or become a model prisoner in jail. Your choice..........

Mamabudz

uh...dude...it is still illegal...how can "We" go back to the present???

And the "Them" you desperately wish to gain acceptance from simply do not accept pot-smokers. That is the reality. No matter how conservatively your hair is styled or republican your clothes are tailored, once your dirty little secret is out, you are tarred with the same brush.

Ending Prohibition is not simply a matter of hiding your stash & smoking habits from your parents, only on a larger scale. You don't get to choose with whom you are associated on an issue.

Like it or not you are lumped with the Beavis & Buttheads --- Get over it.

Now start doing the hard work with the rest of us of Education. Join with us -- that is if you can stomach our great unwashed and unshaven stench-- and get down in the dirt where the grass roots grow

but remember that Grass doesn't grow over night...neither do Movements...

Herb Ninja

Preach on Mamabudz.

My hair is dyed the color of the flame and I walk down the street with pictures of pot leafs on my t-shirt.

I could coward in the corner and smoke in the exact center of my house to try and hide my habit.

You know what, thats not the way to win this war.

I don't drive stoned and I don't sell weed to kids or let alone anyone. I Don't steal to pay for herb.

Pretending that we live doesn't make us alive.

Yea don't vote for anybody that supports legalization you wouldn't want to look like a pothead.

"My hair is dyed the color of the flame and I walk down the street with pictures of pot leafs on my t-shirt."

WHEN, not IF you get busted, send me your new address so I can send you a birthday card.

"I could coward in the corner and smoke in the exact center of my house to try and hide my habit.

What would you suggest?

That we have mosh pits in the center of the interstate?

Blow pot smoke in the cops faces?

"Yea don't vote for anybody that supports legalization you wouldn't want to look like a pothead."

Tell me, does Mark Emery LOOK like a pot head, does he conduct himself like an irresponsible idiot in public?

Mamabudz

No...Marc Emery is a slimy business man who rips off peopel who buy seeds from him.

Currently I am assisting (that sounds reasonably indiscriminate don't you think) with an international case against him and his company for Embezzlement (against the Geneva and Hague Conventions) and False Advertising. He believed that since he was selling contraband, the laws of sale and fraud did not apply to him

Any other questions?

THBee

Everyone is getting on my case for desiring to cut off the branches that don't bring forth fruit and now we have people filing fraud charges against a man that is doing alot for the cause.

"No...Marc Emery is a slimy business man who rips off peopel who buy seeds from him."

Where is the proof? Are you sure that the DEA or customs aren't just confiscating the seeds? A VERY real possibility.

Greenman

No, why do all potheads have to be dis-respectful?

Why do all pot heads have to act like irresponsible idiots?

Why can't a doctor or lawyer also be a pot head?

What is a pot head, someone who smokes pot. Well there are a lot of important people who have smoked pot. Smoking pot does not make you suddenly become disrespectful, and act like a irresponsible idiot when you are in public, unless you are someone who would normally do so even without the pot.

The reality is, any group has its share of slimey, lazy, no-gooders. The boozers have the raving alcoholics. What if your an alcoholic that really a good drunk. They don't stumble or slur or drink until they throw up. There just fun to be around, but they always drink.

That is reality. Like it or not, these "no-good lousy pothead" thing you have going has nothing to do with pot. As a group, were not that bad. We work, we pay taxes, we have familys, were involved in our communities. Yeah, we have a couple of real flakes, but so does every group. Ours recieve more focus than the crooked politician, or your average fraudulent doctor. What we need is for more of the positive people to step forward and be known. When people see that we come from all walks of life, in all professions, instead of the lazy potsmoker laying on the couch, we will be better off.

Peace.
