Hi Family,
Right now there are two competing signature drives to put cannabis legalization initiatives on the ballot in California for November 2010.
One is found at www.taxcannabis2010.org
The other is found at www.CaliforniaCannabisInitiative.org
Please look carefully at the text of both laws (the text of each is finalized at this point) and make up your own mind which one you support.
I am supporting www.CaliforniaCannabisInitiative.org because this law will protect cannabis users from discrimination in healthcare, employment, and housing. It is a full legalization measure for hemp and cannabis which will restore full human rights to cannabis users and growers all across California.
I have two parts to my plan. The first part is to publicly post and distribute our "Call to Arms" in order to recruit volunteers. This document is available here-

The second part of the plan is to ask everyone who volunteers to make a pledge for how many signature they will collect in the next 30 days or so. 15-30 signatures is a good number. You can probably get that number from your family members, friends, co-workers, and neighbors without having to solicit in public too much. This is an "out of the closet" movement. We will have to proudly advocate human rights for cannabis smokers in order to get support from legitimate people. I can supply stickers equivalent to each persons pledge number. These stickers can be used to generate interest and be given to people who sign the petition. Here is the sticker design-

Feel free to distribute and use these images. But don't copyright them because you are not the one who created them.
We have 145 days in order to get the number of signatures that we need. Our petition is hot off the press on 9/11 and we are collecting the first signatures yesterday 9/12.
We are polling 56% public support for cannabis legalization in California, so this is an initiative which is not doomed. It's time has finally arrived. Now is the time to do this and to do it right. We may only get one chance. If a law which is not exactly what we want is implemented then we may lose our critical mass and our ability to set it right.
If you want to help me in any way please contact the CCI campaign at www.CaliforniaCannabisInitiative.org or write me at deep_space_underground@yahoo.com
Love,
-Fully Committed

Re: Legalize Hemp and Cannabis in California
Sun, September 13, 2009 - 3:26 PMThe title here is confusing. Both hemp and marijuana are Cannabis sativa. In effect, one hundred years ago they were both the same thing because low THC varieties did not yet exist. They are still the same species but are different varieties.
I live in Costa Rica where the law prohibits the growing of Cannabis sativa so makes hemp illegal too. This, of course, is stupid. -

Re: Legalize Hemp and Cannabis in California
Sun, September 13, 2009 - 4:38 PMOur initiative will legalize low-thc varieties of Cannabis Sativa for industrial use, this excludes the flowers and resin of the plant.
Our initiative will also legalize the flowers and resin for responsible use by people over the age of 21. It will remain illegal to drive a vehicle while under the influence or to supply flowers or resin to children who do a medical necessity, permission of their parents, and the recommendation of their physician.
In the US growing hemp is prohibited by the laws against Cannabis just as in Costa Rica. Our initiative will fix both problems at once (at a state level anyway). I hope this is clear. Some people have proposed laws legalizing Cannabis which do not allow for the growing of industrial hemp, but ours will do both.

The text above should read "children who do not have a medical necessity"
Sorry about the typo.
