Immediate Action
For the past three years Governor Jeb Bush and his mouthpiece, Florida
Drug Czar Jim McDonough have been criticized for the state's aggressive
policy against drug users, which holds such strong focus on incarceration.
They have deflected these complaints by telling us how important
they believe drug treatment is and its being a better approach to
dealing with drug abuse and the associated crimes that often go
with it.
Monday Bush removed a majority of the state budget which pays for
drug treatment in our prisons, ending programs in all but four of
the states treatment facilities. Followed by his daughter being
arrested and released without bond on felony drug charges less than
48 hours later. While we all hope that Ms Bush gets any and all
appropriate help she needs, it brings clearly to the forefront the
hypocrisy of 'get tough on drugs' laws.

In 1974 Jack Herer and Edwin "Captain
Ed" M. Adair III first made the following promise:
"We'd swear to work every day
to legalize marijuana and get all pot prisoners out of jail,
until we were dead, marijuana was legal, or we could quit
when we turned 84. We wouldn't have to quit, but we could."
|
Once you have taken the above promise, if you are ready to publicly
show your support for the cannabis plant, then first let us applaud
your effort. It takes a great deal of bravery to willingly stand
up and face a government that wishes to arrest you speaking of a
plant which it has demonized for over 60 years.
Currently we have a design team creating flyers to be printed and
passed out to show the world that there is nothing wrong with using
a plant. These flyers are being presented here in PDF format for
those that wish to do more, you will require the Adobe Acrobat reader
to view and print them available Here.
The Just Say Know CAN brochure series is being published online
for any and everyone to view, you will once again need a copy
of Acrobat reader above.
