Help me Buy White Poppies for Peace!

Posted in Uncategorized on October 28th, 2008 by cosmo

Okay, so I have this really great idea, I’m going to buy some white poppies for peace for Veteran’s Day (Remembrance Day, if you are ruled by a Queen!), but I realized how much they cost, and I’m pretty much flat broke anyway.

So please, donate to my cause, Click on the picture above and donate! I need about $250 to get 200 poppies to hand out on November 11th.

Austin Jenkins from NPR interviewed me for a story broadcast on KPLU about the new medical marijuana “60 day supply” limits set by the Washington State Department of Health as per the Legislature’s direction to do so. Unfortunately, the DOH erred on the conservative side, and patients will likely suffer and continue to be arrested. The fifteen plant limit is too low for anyone but the best pot grower (certainly it strains the seriously ill patients who much grown their own medicine, or risk being taken advantage of by unscrupulous street dealers), and the twenty-four ounce dried pot limit is too low for those who ingest their medicine orally, rather than more traditional means, such as Vaporization or smoking.

Fortunately for me, Austin (being the good producer that he is) used the good quote I gave him, and none of the dorky stuff. Check out the Cannabis Defense Coalition for more information about helping patients who have been arrested and are facing trial!
