MA State Representative Martin Walsh speaking at the State House on 3/18/2008.
Starting out Rep. Walsh says that he would support making alcohol illegal.

He moves on to the disproven propaganda about marijuana being a gateway drug. He also seems to completely ignore the fact that people in his own district are having trouble finding work after being arrested for one joint, 10 years ago.

And somewhere in the rant, Walsh blows off the majority of voters in his district (57%), who have voted for marijuana decrim.

Is this guy for real?

We are making progress and we could have decriminalization if you contact, email, call, write, the Governor and your legislators.

If you've contacted them before contact them again!

If you've never contacted them just do it!

The State's Election Information page
http://www.wheredoivotema.com/bal/myelectioninfo.php
provides up to date contact information on your elected officials (telephone
numbers, e-mail and postal addresses).

Then drop him or her a note (postal service or e-mail) and then follow up with a phone call. Or vice versa.
Please let MassCannBeNORML@aol.com
know your legislators' responses.

Email can also be sent directly from the NORML website.

We recommend you customize your message as time allows.

Some legislators probably place more weight on paper mail, but it is hard to know for sure.

Use the specific bill numbers where appropriate.

Check out MikeCann's new company. He plans to use some of the profits to help fund marijuana reform.

  • Alcohol related murder and violence drains the economy with more police force,lost retail revenue etc..Legalize marijuana and place MORE restrictions on alcohol!

  • I think the real fight against the legality of weed comes from the lobbyists of the pharmaceutical companies and the petrochemical companies. It would put a serious dent in their profits.

  • @RobertRant That's only a small part. The main obsticle is that the CIA's black budget comes primarily from smuggling illegal drugs, including pot. As long as the CIA is getting billions of dollars that congress doesn't have to approve or even know about, then it will never be made fully legal.

  • HAHAHA, it's 2011 and we decrimed it dickhead!! HAHA and guess what!? Nothing bad happened!! HAHAHA

  • No but what if you had pain every day and tylenol used more than a few days goes after your liver? I always enjoyed cannabis and still do. But it's saved my liver and cured many headaches where as if I used tylenol that much? I'd have liver issues. It's a life saver for my daily back pain. Allows me to live, earn, love life, manage the pain.

  • gate way drug!!! fuckn tired of hearing that shit.

    Lies are the gateway drug, you fuckn tell a kid hes gonna die from pot and he finds out it was all lies. whats gonna happen when he is introduced to meth or heroin? well they lied about pot im sure this cant be that bad.

  • Make alcohol illegal? It seems that Rep Walsh has forgotton an entire era of American History known as Prohibition, where the use and abuse of alcohol reached its highest ever in in this country. The entire concept of Prohibition  is flawed in every way shape or form. Why continously waste tax payer dollars on a drug war that cannot be won and divert those funds to lock up the violent criminals of this country.

  • anyone want to chat

    ANYONE UP?  I NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO PP

  • That's what happened to me, one puff and I was chopping kids heads off! It ruined my new clothes, all that blood.

  • Marijuana is safe so it's a good thing to use in treatment of pain, whereas pharmacuticals are actually more dangerous. Your beliefs are based off of disinformation & propaganda.

  • Actually few people smoke weed 'to make pain go away' as their prime motivation & it's usually done for enjoyment, but let's say you were shot or something & in the hospital in horrible pain & the doctors offered you a drug of some sort that they felt was safe in order to treat your pain. You would turn it down? Would that make you stronger or foolish? Am I 'weak' for taking tylenol if I have a headache once in a while?

  • This guy is right though, one day you're smoking weed casually in your house, the next you're shooting heroin & chopping infants' heads off for fun.
