Pot Protest Rally Lansing Michigan - Lee, Lee. Set Them Free!

A Message from a Crusader for Cannabis,

"After further review it has been determined that weed is safer than Opioids and Covid19."  

If anybody needs to storm the State Capitol, people who support the right to use, grow and, manufacture products with Cannabis should be right there. While some of you are mad at the Governor for trying to save lives, we have people in the Michigan Department of Corrections locked up in prison for decades because of marijuana crimes.

Every time we ask  Governor Gretchen Whitmer to pardon all Michigan pot prisoners, we are told it has to go through the State legislature. This amounts to a gridlock that leads to getting nothing done. For this protest leave your guns at home and, bring your best cannabis to the Capitol Dome. Practice social distancing by standing 6 feet apart and, wear a mask after you smoke your bud. 

State Representative Lee Chatfield
 Speaker of the Michigan House

Go to the office of State Representative Lee Chatfield and demand that all pot prisoners like Mike Thompson and, others like him be pardoned with immediate effect.  If you are sending an email  please write Lee, Lee. Set Them Free in the subject line. If you are calling him, leave a voicemail message for him and end it by saying Lee, Lee. Set them free two times before you hang up.

Call Lee Free at Phone: 517-373-2629 or Email: LeeChatfield@house.mi.gov

Pot Prisoner - Mike Thompson - Michigan Dept. of Corrections

Don't stop there, proceed to the offices of State Senator Mike Shirkey and, Governor Gretchen Whitmer and demand the following actions to be taken by our government.

• An executive order(Pardon) to evict all residents of Corrections department housing who are in there for Cannabis crimes against the people. 
• With Mike Thompson at the head of the list!. 
• Amend House Bill 5120 to remove marijuana testing as a condition of employment in Michigan before being signed into law.

In addition to that request, we want their support to add a new amendment to the United States Constitution protecting the civil rights of citizens using cannabis and allow for the manufacturing of products from the plant. 

Some of the products that can be made from Cannabis is Concrete or Hempcrete. This would fix a whole lot of damn roads, especially in the neighborhoods.  Cleaner fuel, home construction, are some of the other products that can be made from the cannabis plant. 

To successfully add a new amendment,  38 out of 50 state governments must approve the wording of the language by a majority vote. Taking this action will create new revenue for jobs, improve the climate and remove all pot prisoners from federal custody immediately.

Please remember that 2020 is an election year in August and November. Vote by August 4th 2020 in Michigan and, again by November 3rd in the United States for candidates who will reform laws and policies regarding Cannabis in our cities, townships, counties, states and, the entire country.

Cannabis and the Corona Virus? The World Health Organization Was Right!

Field Report by Weed Warrior
Filed March 24, 2020


As the Corona virus spreads around the world, the actions of international, federal, state and, local governments is astonishing. A declaration by the World Health Organization of a global pandemic caused governments to, limit public gatherings and, people being ordered to stay in their homes under the threat of fines or arrest. While everyone is staying locked down, the world around us has come to the realization that Cannabis is not a dangerous drug. 

#LetWeedomRing for the health of our planet.

The World Health Organization made a declaration to remove Cannabis from the international controlled substances list. They declared that marijuana has medical use and, is beneficial to people suffering with various medical conditions. Many countries adapted to the change with minimal effort. However, there are some elected leaders that dismissed science and sent their nations into a global recession because of their blatant disrespect of subject experts. Countries like Canada and Mexico were okay with the change and others were not. 

In a direct quote from the World Health Organization.  

"At its November 2017 meeting, the WHO Expert Committee on Drug Dependence (ECDD) concluded that, in its pure state, cannabis does not appear to have abuse potential or cause harm. "

The ECDD made a recommendation for a YES vote to permanently remove Cannabis from the dangerous substances list. Unfortunately, in March 2019, member nations of the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime, led by the United States of America prevented that vote from taking place. At their annual meeting in Vienna Austria, the excuse given was more time was needed to do research on the Cannabis plant. As of this writing there is no plan to take up the legislation again.

Website: World Health Organization Recommends Rescheduling Cannabis (Forbes 2019) 

The policy toward the treatment of cannabis users is a pandemic of epic proportions. Depending on what country you live in, you will be arrested, convicted and, in some countries the given death penalty.  

By re-classifying cannabis, international prisoners of pot like Marc Emery of Canada and Danny Trevino of Lansing Michigan, Mike Thompson of Flint Michigan and others would be subjected to immediate eviction from their public housing units and allowed the freedom of international travel. 

Roads, Runways and, Highways can be rebuilt with concrete developed from the Hemp Plant. This  change in policy would remove the farming industry from bankruptcy and, independent farmers from SNAP/Bridge Cards programs creating lots of jobs. For instance, the need for mass production of ventilators will dictate to employers to stop drug testing people for cannabis as a condition of employment.

TAKE ACTION NOW!!!

What you can do is to let elected officials that are applying or re-applying for their jobs in August and November elections to support the cause of adding a new amendment to the United States Constitution to specifically addressing Cannabis. This plant is human right, essential to our environment, and will help  stabilize the world economy. Issues like climate change and incarceration will be greatly affected to benefit the USA and the World if this effort results in a new law. In order to add a new amendment to the US Constitution 38 out of 50 states need to approve the update to the articles. 

Finally, you must demand that the current or future person that is elected to the Office of the President of the United States, orders a YES vote for global cannabis reform at the next meeting of the UNODC in Vienna Austria.

Yes it can be done.
Yes indeed..
