2011 participants in the Million Man Marijuana March are asked to begin their activities NOW. The Kansas Legislative Platform demands ABSOLUTE DECRIMINALIZATION.
Ideas:
*Join think tank to establish "Hemp's Carbon Footprint"
*Dr. Jon Hauxwell, retired, Hays, Kansas, has brought professional accreditation to our group. MedCanKan.org, in Potwin, Kansas, under the direction of Cheryl Riley, is accumulating large numbers of interested persons. Thomas Ballard, Adam Turner, Dan Dawdy, David Mullford, Bob Weeks, are new activists stepping forward. I hope these people will empower their communities to deliver a message to our stale legislators: Drug Law Reform, or out of office you go, we'll elect some one who will. These people represent various areas of Kansas. Google them for contact information, and add your voice when they address the communnity for reforming drug laws.
