About Me


We all know marijuana will be legalized some day.
We'd like to be there that day, rejoicing victory and sharing a big fat doobie with you.

Marijuana is not the gateway to other drugs. Drug Dealers are the gateway to other drugs.
Ask any pot smoker and they'll tell you that they're perfectly content with smoking pot. That is, until it's unavailable. In this case, they're typically faced with one of two choices: be an asshole or find another vice for a little while.
The duration of that while is then measured of course by how long it takes to find the pot again, or how much our once dedicated Mary Jane lover enjoys his or her new vice.
Alcohol, the obvious "legal" choice, is unfavored among most pot heads. While the first "buzz" phase is nice and relaxing, that next step is a doozy.
Waking up in the morning with a splitting headache next to what appears to be a cross between a rhinoceros and wildebeest, missing a shoe, a credit card, and all of the money in your wallet is no fun either.
That is assuming of course that you made it home alive and in one piece, didn't harm yourself or others, total your nice new ride, or end up in jail and slapped with a DUI.
Smoking pot isn't for everyone. Some people simply don't get it, some are afraid of it, and some take one poof and pass out. Unfortunately however, most of them are just ignorant in regards to marijuana.
That's where you can help, by spreading the truth. Don't be afraid of the government. It's our right, and whether you smoke it or not, there's a great deal of value to be gained for all of us by ending the marijuana prohibition. Research, and you'll see.
Every time the soldiers of war against drugs disrupt a shipment of marijuana, a drug war overall which is costing us the taxpayers roughly 70 billion dollars a year I might add, the dealers are forced to push more dangerous drugs to their customers in an effort to stay in business.
Many dealers are hard drug users themselves who care for nothing more than money, the same ones who are pushing drugs to our children, whatever the children want. It's up to our children to decide which drug to try if they want to try anything at all and parents, you better hope that they choose pot. You're not going to be there to stop them either way.
Not every dealer fits this description of course. Some are nice, friendly people just like you and me who sell only pot and only to adults. Many of those dealers unfortunately, are going to jail. As a matter of fact, roughly 96 people are being arrested for marijuana related charges every hour.
And while the DEA, local law officials, and a plethora of other organizations are busy interupting marijuana supplies, many dealers are busy expanding their inventory and are forced to look for other customers who use those substances, or convert their existing customers into those substance users.
Let's be honest, no matter who's eyes through which you are peering, whatever opinion you have of marijuana, whatever it does to you when you smoke it, or whatever bureaucratic bullshit you've been brainwashed into believing along with the other shee... um, good samaritans, there will always be pot heads and they will always be looking for good herb.
By legalizing it, regulating it, and taxing it, we make our country a little safer for everyone. Yes, even our children and their children. Not to mention, we could use the money for more important things like education and healthcare. Hell, we may even pay off some old war debt.
If you're currently taking pills, which appears to be the new designer drug these days, prescribed or otherwise, the later being the more "trendy" of the two, no doubt you can smell what we're stepping in.
Our big hefty government loves pill poppers, right along with the big hefty insurance companies and the big hefty doctors pushing the pills out like candy. They're laughing all the way to the bank while good honest people are going to jail for smoking a plant leaf and eating Cheetos.
The legalization of marijuana for recreational use has proven to be effective in other parts of the world. When put into effect, research has shown that not only has more serious drug usage such as cocaine and heroine noticeably gone down, but other even more serious crime rates including armed robbery and even murder have dropped.
That's right, MURDER! So maybe a little lethargy isn't so bad after all. How much energy does it take to sit in a cubicle and stare at a computer screen all day anyway?
Some great organizations today are fighting congress, lobbying for reform laws and trying to convince the governement to end the marijuana prohibition, and they're in dire need of our support. Our mission is slightly different.
Our goal is to inform you the public, to broadcast the truth throughout the country, bring the facts to the masses, shed some light on the hypocracy, to seek out a louder voice and gain strength in numbers, and shove it in their face.
We're here to spread the word to people like you and everyone you know and everyone they know in a noble effort to speed up the inevitable process of legalizing marijuana. It's that simple.
Don't be afraid. This is why we have ammendments. It's our right. It's time to get it back, to end the hypocrisy and stop the insanity. It's time to free the weed.
With your help, we can make it happen in our lifetime.

My Interests

We're not here to make money selling merchandise. Our mission is to help speed up the inevitable process of legalizing marijuana.

Many of the proceeds from our sales are used to sponsor events and donated to various organizations supporting the legalization of marijuana (NORML, MPP, ACLU, etc.).

Other portions are used for billboard, TV, radio, and internet advertising campaigns, not unlike the "truth" commercials you see on TV regarding the dangers of smoking tobacco.

Lastly, not unlike everyone else, we do have mouths of our own to feed. While we do not charge a membership fee, we do ask that you please support our efforts and help us spread the truth about marijuana to the masses, and not only purchase a few of our T-shirts, but wear them proudly!

Together, we can free the weed!

Check out our T-shirts!
