How can you use Medical Marijuana Week in your community? Here are a few ideas, from small to big:
· A candlelight vigil in support of patients
· A city or county proclamation
· A lobbying visit with your elected officials
· A panel discussion on the science behind medical marijuana
· A fundraiser (maybe even for ASA!)

The reason marijuana is illegal has very little to do with drugs, and is really about money and the continued centralization of economic and political control. Hemp seed oil is biodiesel and is three times more productive than any other seed oil crop, and hemp seed oil will run any diesel engine today with no modification. Hemp oil is the reason the petrochemical industry made up the "reefer madness" myth. They renamed hemp, using racist propaganda, calling it marijuana, and lied to make it illegal. There is a truth that must be heard! That's what the Hempstalk Festival is all about. To find out more about HempStalk, visit: www.HempStalk.org * or Contact HempStalk organizers: The Hemp and Cannabis Foundation (THCf), by phone: 1-800-723-0188 -or- visiting: www.THC-Foundation.org
