2009 Texas Cannabis Crusade

This is a compilation of video clips and still photos from the 2009 Texas Cannabis Crusade, part of the Global Marijuana March held on 2 May of this year. The event was organized by TexasNorml.org and OutgrowBigBro.org. (Both groups have YouTube channels.) Its purpose was to agitate for marijuana legalization and for the passage of two particular bills in the Texas legislature: HB 164 and HB 902.

Not all of the musicians who performed appear in this video, but you can see a bit of:
Champagne with Friends
Jitterbug Vipers
Champa

Other musicians who appeared to support the cause include:
Shotgun Hustler
DJ Slim
Jet Baker
McPullish
The Raspas
The Contrabandits
Skrump

Check these folks out here on YouTube and MySpace and let them know you appreciate them. Also check out Charlie Roadman at RoadmanLaw.com. Thanks to the event organizers and to all who participated.

Great work!

Do you have more footage not included in the final product?

Just wondering cause we'd like to get as much video/pics as possible.

Peace & good buds,

Great work, yourself! And yes, I have a lot of raw material, both video and photo. I'll bring it to the meeting tonight (if I can get my DVD writer working). Otherwise, I might have to just upload them somewhere. Onward through the fog...

I was there. The Jitterbug Vipers were awesome

[jbfury]

Yeah they were. I hope someone got some good video of their performance. Check out "Sweet Lotus Blossom" on their MySpace page

I really liked Champa, too. They have a great version of "Walls of Babylon" on their MySpace.

Lets make this an ongoing protest next time we will get more protesters in London UK,

Thanks for checking in, Deb! The London march might have been small in numbers, but it was huge in dedication to the cause. Keep on keepin' on...
