Hey has anyone else had their Marijuana Global marches in their city? We did this past Saturday and I have to say I was a little disappointed. There were about 500 people. Mostly because the police marched with us…lame! We also were restricted on how far we could march. I was also surprised by the support we had. Most people were teenagers who had signs and clothes that said F&%$ authority and things like that. They were all really young and it just seemed like It was a bunch of high schoolers rebelling against the laws. They were a lot of girls in bikinis and kids smoking marijuana. I strongly feel that this “image” is what makes AZ one of the few states to not support medical marijuana. We need respectable hard working Americans to show their faces. Not kids that don’t respect the laws. Now don’t get me wrong…the new generation is going to make our world but right now we need to attract the older generation who still holds the power. But here in Phoenix everyone is afraid. Afraid to lose their jobs, afraid to go to prison for marijuana. Who can blame them? My husband just did 2 months in county jail for less than a dime. He has 2 years probation, 1800.00 fine and 65.00 a month in probation fees and he cant smoke! He has severe arthritis and insomnia.
Gosh its so unfair!
