Marijuana Legalization Movement (questions about starting)?
Hey I am 16 and I would like to start a legalization movement — a serous one.
Not like a petition where ten addicts sign it…
But I am talking a serious movement with an agenda, I am very politically active for my age (volunteering for candidates, attending conventions and rallies, advocating different issues I feel strongly about, etc). I am a law major at a magnet school, and get good grades there. I understand what needs to be done to pass a bill, and the process it undergoes, so I feel like I am a step ahead many other people who know nothing of the subject.
I would like to ask you guys what one needs to do to start a statewide movement. I don’t think a petition will do it, I was thinking more along the lines of a well organized and concentrated advocacy group, with knowledgeable members that need a push start in doing something about their beliefs.
The only issue I see in this is the fact that I am 16, would this matter? Seeing as the subject of the movement is illegal, and especially frowned upon for younger members of society.
i suggest getting the fuck out of my country and doing it in a third world country so a retard like you doesn’t go around driving high or something risking other’s ***VALUABLE*** lives
Find some other people in your state to help you. Find out your senators and reps views and anyone else that can help. You may be surprised how many people feel the same way you do.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!! I like the hemp ideas, hemp is a great resource that we need to bring back! It could replace so many things and be so much more efficient and “green”(no pun intended).
well you can make a list of the positives. How it’s a great reliable source and state reasons why. We can get rid of plastic and use hemp. We can have hemp powered cars.
It can be taxted.
we can teach the use of it to our kids as alcohol is taught.
Explain how if we re taught the whole idea of hemp we would have people smoking to meditate and relieve stress from a long days work. We wouldn’t have all these pot heads smoking solely to get high and be stupid. Teach people to maintain it as alcohol is.
I’m sure if you feel this strongly about it you know all the positives so I’ll stop there.
You need to write a long and strong treatment.
you’re gonna need to show them you’re not a dumb kid. You’re a fresh mind who can change the whole existence of hemp. you’ll need the help of a professional writer. And make sure to strategically state your case.
I suppose you would also have to write a treatment for your own utopian pot smoking world.
How individuals would have to maintain pot along with the restrictions and penalties for breaking restrictions.
Basically create your own little world and cover all bases.
good luck to you!
The East Coast is not mature enough to have State policies like the West Coast
