Well, Christine and I were there. We got there about 11:45,
didn't see any signs or anything, didn't know what was
expected.

Christine smoked a joint in front of the flame (and
civilians) and we got her on videotape. She just got her
MMAR on May 1. So we represented too.

Last year we were there and it changed our lives. next year
we plan on helping with posters and just.... make sure that
it goes off big next year, we hope....

Sorry we never crossed paths. I was hoping to meet the
legendary John Turmel, and sell him a copy of our charity
book (the world's first children's book about medical
Marijuana, incidently) called Mommy's Funny Medicine.

Christine, and Mike Foster and I will be on CKCU in Ottawa
on May 7 to talk about the book, and the compassion
situation in Ottawa.

Copies of the book can be purchased at Crosstown Traffic for
$10 a copy. To receive orders by mail, send your address and
a money order for $10 US, or
$10CND+$3.50 shipping/handling (per copy) to:
Crosstown Traffic
593-C bank Street
Ottawa, ON
K1S 3T4

Proceeds of $5 per copy will be used to help establish a
location for The Capital Compassion Society, so that the
medical Cannabis users of the Ottawa area can have a clean,
reliable source of cannabis, and a safe environment in which
to acquire their medicine.

The authors can be contacted for interviews at 613-761-6504,
or kegan23@...

Marijauna prohibition is indefensible and inherently
illegitimate. It is in the same category as slavery

Jct: Funny. I was there at High Noon with a big
Abolish Medpot Prohibition sign. Standing right at
Parliament's front door.

Ah, see I had my wheelchair, and I would have had to go all
the way around, so I just peered around looking for a sign
or something... didn't see you. My bad.
The spirit was there tho, so it's cool...

JCT: It was a nice sunny day. Are you sure you didn't see a
guy with a white hard-hat in a suit with a picket sign. I
always thought I stood out like a sore thumb.

I actually started my march down in the Market area, then up
Wellington Street in front of the Chateau Laurier up to
Parliament Hill. I kept quipping: Save the kids from Prozac
and Ritalin, give them a marijuana muffin. The reaction from
most people was stunned or positive.

I spent some minutes at the Centennial flame, and then
ambled up to Parliament's front steps to show my sign for a
while until the High Noon carillon played. After a while, I
moseyed back the way I came and was glad I had the chance to
do some part.

Look, if the anti-bank globalization protest movement could
take a break so I could be the "lone activist" picketing the
Millennium Summit, I didn't mind thinking I standing there
right smack dab center of Parliament Hill all alone, even if
it was just yards away from where I'd been on Canada's
Centennial birthday, 1967, as part of Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth II's Cameron Highlander Honor Guard.

Yeah, I wore a kilt. Who wants to make something of it?

Anyway, no kilt this time, just a grey-haired guy in a suit
protesting for pot, grousing for ganja, rebellious for
reefer, and in love with MaryJane.

Especially when I tell them how it would help their kids.

Which really infuriated the police officers on the CFRA
show. They need laws with meaningful consequences for guys
like me who'd countenance giving marijuana to kids. Their
kids are the generation exposed to Ritalin and Prozac and
they're worried about about exposing them to Heavenly Herb?
Laughing Grass?

If you were one of these kids, would you thank those parents
who kept you away from cannabis and on pharmaceuticals? I've
heard of kids who cry when forced to take their Ritalin.
And they have a right to hate those deadening drugs. I was
prescribed Prozac when I was a kid but mom was shocked by
the knock-out stone and stopped that. I'd have preferred a
mild marijuana muffin.

And I'd bet that if kids were permitted to make an informed
decision, they'd pick the herb. That's the police kept
insisting that conflicting messages to the kids had to stop.
Which means my message to the kids had to be stopped.

Calming the wildest kids with a full marijuana muffin has to
be the better way to go. Usually, he goes to school with a
half muffin under his belt but this morning, he kicked
little Suzy and kicked the cat down the stairs before
breakfast so maybe he needs a full muffin today.

These poor officers evinced complete shock at the thought
that once it's legal, pushers will invade the school-yard
with extra high-powered muffins. Actually, the problem is
that they visualise the same kind of pusher situation. Not
so. When it's legal, mommy will dose out the medpot muffins
as meticulously as aspirin or vitamin C. Sure, kids might
trade muffins if particular strains make them feel more
attentive or less, but the trafficking of a substance that
mom's doling out at home just won't arise. It's too silly to
actually countenance once legalization is fact.

But it's always a rush to be out there promoting a cause
close to my heart. Unfortunately, the unsafe engineering
design of the Health Canada pharmacy causes only a fraction
of the genocide that the unsafe engineering design of the
usury-based money-slavery system causes. I can't wait to get
focused back on the biggest killer on the planet, the killer
software in the banks' killer computers which can be
upgraded with the LETS software to deliver world free of
growing debts.

And that ain't Hell no more.
