bodies from tampa nation that's a little more serious than just thinking people get high it's not that a little ninety percent of your market or should i say patients use will be boils tinctures extracts bombs you name not smoking tents basically hoping help defend our own physical bodies on this plane i think that's important physical self defense needs a lot more than just karate in taekwondo all that  also means being able to protect ourselves in a time period when this history of our planet works seriously very unbelievable dancer occurred from people extremely powerful who are out to try to do this fair because i can't figure it out myself the people that have the power to say do we have a right to defend ourselves which even includes them people on our state government people our federal government they've got to think about this gets a lot more important than just something that you can push off to the side or some pics pharmaceutical  over the world i've been absent and in mexico and canada i've been to europe our communities the same all over the world i was at i was at the the cannabis cup in amsterdam my first time in ninety five i was a room full of people there and i just got and and you know every time we get together like this every time we get together in a peaceful fashion with the vendors selling their wares in the cottage industries in the bands of the speakers doing their thing and sharing to our family our community every time i think it's a sacred event because this is what we're about this is what the canvas communities about is spreading the message of liberty peace freedom and reform which of course comes with personal responsibility i implemented implemented we're not quite sure you know if we're going to be doing the right thing for the wrong reasons the right thing in the wrong ways or i mean by that is that the citizens of russia have voted for i follow to not vote to raise money tax revenue for the state even though that's might be a positive aspect they voted for because we think prohibitions wrong and it's unjust we want some freedom equality which means we might be doing the right thing a little bit for the wrong reasons some point but it doesn't matter because we're getting there we're changing it that's a pretty big deal when you can have an ounce of marijuana legally and a capo zero or cop was your response pot that's not probable cause to search your car anymore community start to win i don't know of another issue where sixteen seventeen eighteen nineteen states have voted in defiance of federal law it's unprecedented winnie after like christians family christians father who paid the ultimate price with his life when all was doing was trying to support patients to give them medicine and safe access and such an outrage it's beautiful to live in washington state where we have this away says this legal can of the soul races but we still live in a vast desert a boiling desert of injustice and it's all over the planet america mostly through the united nations has forced these drug laws on every nation that wants to participate and we kind of painted ourselves into a circle because now that some of the states here are starting to legalize it decriminalized depending on how you judge those words we've got to back ourselves out of this hole because we force these policies these trees on all these other nations that are involved what we need to do is get marijuana off the federal schedule entirely like alcohol and tobacco which were exempted because the powerful financial lobbies for the alcohol tobacco industry alcohol kills hundreds of thousands of people  sure how people can say that when you can have an ounce of legal weed you have a black president of the united states in the white house and we've got legal gay marriage in our state so how can anybody say that your votes a waste of time your vote is one of your most information bus with eight cards mostly geared at young people more than anything with things like cannabis and driving cannabis in your lungs cannabis and dependency cannabis and young people unfortunately it might be a little bit geared on the more dangerous or or propaganda side of the science but we're starting with young people so we think that's a good place to start if the worst thing to happen to some kid waits for eighteen years old to smoke cannabis that's not the end of the world and how many of you want to nobody ok so you're paying attention hopefully the rest of you will be here and i'm here to tell you how we can make a difference we've got a lot of good news and a lot of bad news the good news is standing here today he is different than it was twenty years ago we have nineteen states now with mines that allow for medical and even recreate you know use in america twenty years ago we didn't have anything everybody wanted you know no matter where you were ok i applaud the state of washington for the legalization efforts that you've made your movement has come together in a way that california put it after seventeen  medical why we haven't been able to pull it together the way you guys up that's some of the good news the bad news is we have a thing called the federal government and they don't care what your state law said they don't give  with public sentiment anything is possible and without it nothing is possible so at this point the the will of the people is that it's ok for prohibition because we have not stood up for  person that grows transports or smokes cannabis were it tested in any way there's probably a thousand or five thousand of us per one that's willing to stand up and do anything about it and that is why we keep getting thrown in jail for a plan and that is what needs to change and that's what we can change starting here starting today when i got invited to speak here i put the word out to the group were nationwide group of grassroots organization with little chapters all over the place we support over forty prisoners in jail today because of this plan in federal prison to speak prison cell across america and i asked the prisoners what do you want me to time to stand up for it we don't do it very much almost eighty years ago as a result of a campaign of misinformation law just deception america was duped into allowing the it appears to be illegal prison system of the whole entire world we have over two million prisoners men you know of them are there for nonviolent offenses and many of them are there for possession the same thing that we're here to celebrate we have thousands of americans in prison an american spins six feet billion dollars a year on its prison system payin know have stood up and said you know what i'm not going to take you to you know i don't care if it's no child you know this is wrong i have not guilty of a crime and these people that stand up in federal court are talking to your rooms and we need to acknowledge them and we need to remember plants we could make a difference here and i'm going to talk about a few ways that we can do this there's a thing called jury nullification and this is something that there's information out there people are starting to talk about a little bit tell you is that in new hampshire one state they passed a law that allows the jury to be told about this and guess what in new hampshire that one student when the jury heard about it they acquitted a man in a federal and this could be the end of prohibition by it still with alcohol prohibition people stopped feeding and that was one of the key points alcohol prohibition the boy is a million times harder to fix know amendment what we have is a simple blog we could change this without wieber the pen and it would all be over and i'm going to tell you one way that we can do it that's conservative many of you know who your congressman is richard riordan about seven ok it's time to change that now we have you ever communicated with your congressman three healthy great eight congressmen and out of over four hundred co sponsors it is if this becomes law washington will not have regrets because that's how the law will go if this becomes law then you will have a federal defense if you're following state law this well be the beginning of the end of prohibition it requires us to make a decision i'm going to ask everybody today to do something everything starts with the thought if you want to  something here speak out maybe share some information make sure to court for somebody maybe write a letter to preserve it something when you make that decision to be a part of the end of prohibition it will happen for every one of us up there's a thousand there could and should moderate and if we can encourage this to spread this will end with public sentiment anything is possible including the end of prohibition and we can be the solution thank you very much and this is all they live for next week actually
