Straight, Inc. and Derivatives / I'm here!
« on: June 01, 2001, 07:07:25 AM »
I'm here!
This is my first time at th is new board, I'm just getting used to it. I've been very busy working and I'm gettting involved! I'm going to an Amnesty International meeting this week and will be attending the Portland NORML meeting also. I'd like to get involved with a teen advocacy group. I just got finished reading "An American Gulag" and it seems to me that NOBODY should be incarerated against their will unless they are actually guilty of some sort of actual crime. I saw some of the most harmless people in the world sent to Straight, myself included.

Straight, Inc. and Derivatives / Seattle Hempfest

Seattle Hempfest
While the Seattle Hempfest may not be everybody's cup of tea, I thought I'd give a brief report about my weekend trip up to Seattle. The Seattle Hempfest is the largest gathering/protest/celebration for hemp/marijuana in the world and it was cool to be there for that reason alone. There was a wide variety of people there for different reasons. Last year they had approximately 100,000 people and I suspect it was similar this year. There were 6 stages, and tons of booths. I spent most of my time going to booths and simply talking to people like the ACLU, Cop watch, November Coalition, High Times, NORML, Jack Herer, PETA (I'm a vegetarian), Dancesafe, and countless others. People were smoking pot everywhere and right in front of the police, absolute civil disobedience. Last year nobody was cited for smoking pot, I suspect the same thing happened this year. Woody Harrelson got the crowd wild with the count down to 4:20 and I've surely never seen so much pot smoke in my entire life. On top of everything, I didn't even smoke any pot! I'm in training for a race so I'm being a good boy for the time being. It was great fun and I was in wonderful company, I can't wait to back next year.

Things are changing. I believe there?s unstoppable momentum behind this movement and will joyously watch it as it progresses. Some of the cops themselves donated money to the Hemp Coalition.

Washington D.C. bound.....
I am arrving at the Wasington Dulles International Airport 22 miles east of Bethesda from Portland, Oregon at 10:28 AM Saturday morning so I will be getting to the conference a little bit late.
If anybody has any advice on how best to get to the conference from Dulles, I'd love to hear it otherwise I'll probably just get a cab or shuttle. It doesn't look like theres a subway going from that airport.
I will have my cell phone with me if anybody wants to get in contact with me.
I look forward to meeting everybody in person
