Boycott Marion Illinois, thats right …. Don’t move there, don’t shop there, don’t even think about driving through. Perhaps we could use it as a landfill?
In a flagrant abuse of authority and municipal legislation, Marion Illinois officials have now chosen to make it a crime to even possess rolling papers, or a bong.
Marion officials apparently noticed some marijuana smokers getting away with it. The Mayor of Marion, Bob Butler, ignorant individual that he is, says city officers are aware of what’s been going on and want to put a stop to it.

Please help save Canadian anti-prohibition activists Marc Emery, Michelle Rainey and Greg Williams!The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) wants to extradite and incarcerate these three Canadian citizens in US prison for life for selling cannabis seeds from Canada, for ten years, with the clear intention to use the funds generated to facilitate peaceful political change around the globe. Lawyers are expensive and this battle against the DEA is going to be a very costly struggle. Please contribute to the Legal Defense Fund for the BC3! You can learn more about what happened here.

WHEN: noon to 1.30 p.m. Monday, December 17
WHERE: Your Closest Constituency office of your Member of Parliament
WHAT: Theatrical demonstration (chains, leg irons, prison uniforms, signs,) with 10 – 20 people at ALL 308 Members of Parliament Constituency Offices across Canada. Its a day to educate each MP by giving out pamphlets to passers by and the MP and their assistants. Dressing in prison uniforms, hand-cuffed or leg-ironed, with a ball and chain, padlocks, or a variation of this with signs that might say “Prohibition Hurts People, Bill C-26 Hurts Canadians” and ” HONK if you oppose jail for pot!”
WHY: The Conservatives have introduced amendments to the Controlled Drugs & substances Act that mandate minimum penalties for sellers of 3 kilograms of cannabis, all growers who grow in a rented property, all growers who have children in the garden house, any production of hashish and budder and oil for distribution, maximum penalties raised to 14 years, equal to manslaughter, for cannabis production! The penalties for marijuana have been getting more severe in the courts for the last year, and arrests across Canada are up considerably.
