Fuck the Bushes and Clintons ! All of them need to be arrested and hanged for TREA$ON against the United States of America and should have all their bank accounts frozen and all their assets confiscated.
Texas NORML is the state representative, as well as the Austin chapter, of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. In addition to working on marijuana law reform, we also focus on public education and spreading awareness of the issues surrounding marijuana.
Texas NORML's 8th Annual Texas Marijuana March TMM 2015 May 9th, Austin, TX
Come participate with Texas NORML in Austin, Texas as we march from City Hall to the Texas Capitol Building in support of cannabis law reform. Help us bring attention to the failed Drug War and the failed drug policy of prohibition! We will be showing our support for the following bills:
*HB507 / SB1417 - these bills would reduce possession of an oz or less of cannabis to a civil penalty, similar to a traffic ticket. *HB 3785 / SB1339 - these bills would create a comprehensive medical cannabis program in Texas. *HB837 - this bill would offer an affirmative defense for patients and caregivers caught with cannabis medicine and would protect Doctors so they can discuss medical cannabis with their patients *HB2165 - this bill would fully repeal marijuana prohibition, removing all statues from Texas law.
***Remember that this March is being held DURING the Legislative Session. Let us ALL come out from near and far to show the powerful support these bills and this issue has.***
We will meet at City Hall at 11:30 am and march down Congress at HIGH NOON and up to the Capitol's South Steps where we will hold a rally until 4pm. Patients will lead the March with a banner. Veterans are encouraged to wear hats, shirts or ribbons identifying their military service and dedication. Bring an umbrella for shade while you march. We will provide water at the Capitol Building Steps. Stay tuned for updates here. We will have some signs but please feel free to make your own and bring it.
We will be hearing from a brilliant array of speakers ~
