‘Weed Not Greed’ Nationwide Legalize Marijuana Tour Will Visit 33 Cities
The “Weed Not Greed” cannabis legalization movement embarks on a nationwide tour on August 17, visiting 33 cities in 22 days. A summer tour across America was organized to draw attention to the “re-legalize” cannabis movement and educate voters about the benefits of the plant. “Weed Not Greed” will depart from the Seattle Hempfest. The group behind the “Weed Not Greed” tour will also focus on freeing “innocent individual incarcerated due to unconstitutional cannabis prohibitions,” according to the Cannabis Information Network. The “Weed Not Greed” participants support the “right for anyone” to grow, consume, posses or distribute cannabis, the Sacramento Bee reports.
Raising the issue of legalized or decriminalized marijuana to the importance of a key election topic is also a major component of the “Weed Not Greed” tour. Excerpts from a recent Gallop Poll republished by the Cannabis Information Network note that a majority of Americans favor the legalization of marijuana. The health benefits of organic cannabis along with the potential economic benefits through increased tax revenue and decreased court and jail costs could help the issue garner support in mainstream America.
Struggling rural communities where marijuana is typically already grown illegally, could benefit the most from marijuana legalization and decriminalization law changes. Jobs created through state regulated farms and dispensaries could be as important to such impoverished areas as a coal or natural gas boom.
“We are making clear that our minds are the sovereign property of each individual and the freedom to choose states of mind is a constitutional a right as freedom of religion and the pursuit of happiness,” “Weed Not Greed” activist David Krane stated in the Sacramento Bee.

Prohibition's underlying ideology is based wholly on fear, hate, envy, and greed – leading universally and invariably to abject failure, economic collapse, sickness and war.
Ending prohibition would greatly reduce, even almost eliminate, the market in illegal narcotics, cause a reduction in the number of users and addicts, greatly curtail drug related illness and deaths, reduce societal harm from problematic abusers, and bring about an enormous reduction in the presence and influence of organized crime. The people who use drugs are our own children, our brothers, our sisters, our parents and our neighbors. By allowing all adults safe and controlled legal access to psychoactive substances, we will not only greatly reduce the dangers for both them and ourselves but also greatly minimize the possibility of 'peer-initiation' and sales to minors.
Never have so many been harmed and impoverished by so few, so quickly. Prohibition is not just an extremely expensive accident. Like any harmful and completely ineffective policy, it was connived and implemented by immoral, malicious, fools. It cannot be ended soon enough.
After many decades of drug-war-dystopia, don't we all deserve a healthy, safe and prosperous future?
Just say no to prohibition-insanity, prohibition-corruption, prohibition-violence and prohibition-terrorism!

The War on Drugs failed $1 Trillion ago! This money could have been used for outreach programs to clean up the bad end of drug abuse by providing free HIV testing, free rehab, and clean needles. Harmless drugs like marijuana could be legalized to help boost our damaged economy. Cannabis can provide hemp for countless natural resources and the tax revenue from sales alone would pull every state in our country out of the red! Vote Teapot, PASS IT, and legalize it. Voice you opinion with the movement and read more on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/01/vote-teapot-2011.html.
