Please call 202.224.3121 and urge your Congressional Representative
to co-sponsor and vote YES on HR 5842 and HR 5843.
HR 5842 NORML is pleased to announce that Representative Ron Paul has been joined by Reps. Barney Frank (D-MA), Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), and Sam Farr (D-CA) in introducing H.R. 5842, the “Medical Marijuana Patient Protection Act”, which seeks to enact legal protections for authorized medical cannabis patients, in the House of Representatives.
Now is the time to contact your House member and urge him or her to support this important legislation.
H.R. 5842 will help to ensure that patients in those states where medical cannabis legislation has been approved will no longer have to fear arrest or prosecution from federal law enforcement agencies. However, this proposal will only receive serious consideration if your elected officials hear an unmistakable message of support from their constituents.
Currently, thirteen states -- Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and Michigan -- have enacted laws protecting medical cannabis patients from state prosecution. It’s time that we allowed our unique federalist system to work the way it was intended, and permit these states’ citizens and their representatives to enact laws permitting the medical use of cannabis, free from federal interference.
HR 5843 NORML is pleased to report that H.R. 5843, an "Act to Remove Federal Penalties for Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults," has been introduced in the House of Representatives by Representatives Barney Frank and Ron Paul.
This measure, if passed, would strip the federal government of its authority to arrest responsible adult cannabis consumers. NORML founder and Legal Director Keith Stroup worked extensively with Frank’s staff to write this important legislation, which represents the first cannabis decriminalization measure introduced in Congress in 24 years.
Under current federal law, the penalty for cannabis possession is up to one year imprisonment and a $1,000 fine.
Please call 202.224.3121 and urge your Congressional Representative
to co-sponsor and vote YES on HR 5842 and HR 5843.

lost in its tracks, found in time

Tomorrow holds the promise

i MUST mark this down
there are rich pigs in
THE FREE LAND OF BRAVES
having taken more then they could
ever need or consume from the trough
throwing away tea leaves
that could be used by
Faith-Based and Community Organizations
to make some Sweet Iced Tea
or a warm cup of tea
for those BRAVES in THIS FREE LAND
whose HARVEST sucked salt
Am now truly convinced that
Our budgetary deficit exists
because these same rich pigs
who for centuries enjoyed fashion beyond their means
because they did not have to pay
INDENTURED SERVANTS
SHARECROPPERS
SLAVES
a fair wage of any kind or
NATIVE AMERICANS
a fair price for stolen land
STILL
demand, insist and take the hog share
and since the time when the rest of us
FREE BRAVES IN THIS BEAUTIFUL LAND CALLED AMERICA
got together to put an end to their bullshit
by tossing their tea in BOSTON's HARBOR
and telling tell drown for their money
and setting warehouses storing their teas
and telling them burn for your money
these rich pigs
have been offended that
there is something called
A FAIR DAY'S WAGE
FOR A FAIR DAY'S WORK.
and in This Season of Passover
these rich pigs have decided to pass over
AMERICA
by beginning operation: starve to death
hogs,
THIS LAND OF BRAVES
IS
THE HOME OF FREE
FOREVER MAJESTICALLY
FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA
and WE THE PEOPLE
WILL BE
long after your blatant greed
chokes you to death

DO NOT ASK HOW I AM DOING
i had to say that
for you have evolved to the point
where you can no longer sense
and i cannot afford
my own blood on my hands
so i will not sit or stand
still
and
let you
prod
pester
prick
me
so you can stroll off satisfied
that you showed me you care
as the last of the arteries
linger
tangled around my tongue
attached to my vital organ
sitting on not under my chestbone
for you have evolved to the point
where you can no longer sense
and i cannot afford
my own blood on my hands
so i will not sit or stand
