phew. right, glad that idea is past us. sorry for misinterpreting you first time round and mixing two ideas as one.
very well said panda, about the order to mention things in.
i've tried many times to stay only on stage one (which is where i think the origins of prohibition should be mentioned) just to get people to completely warm to the idea and respect cannabis for all its great potential worth to the planet, because after all, that fist and least contraversial of areas, is also the aspect that could (should) change our world the most. there is almost not one area of industry that gets left untouched. Industry (and that one word encompases a awful lot), Industry would be turned upside down as we know it. no longer would industry be considered something dirty and polutant, but something that not only provides us with our needs, but also helps out the planet and environment too.
the only reason i dont get very far with this is that i
feel too passionately about it, and do end up sounding preachy.
so, any minor addaptions each individual would want to put on it, i think sad panda has ilustrated very well the order in which to bring stuff up, perhaps not even mentioning the next level until the first is accepted. and also, lets face it... that first area is also the least known about. how many people do you know, toker or not, who knows that cannabis can be used to produce clothing comparable to that of cotton and fabrics even more hard wearing upto the likes of your Nylon Seatbelts, rope (ok, most people know that tip of the iceberg), building/construction materials that could be used to build your house from or a bridge etc, bioplastics of varying qualities all comparable to that which can be made from the chemical processes used on crude oil and also for example carbon fibre like material to make the body work on a car, or the casings for any number of houshold gadgets from tvs to hand whisks, wood alternatives, even steel alternatives in some instances, Fuels for both the home/workplace and all our transportation needs, all paper at 4 times the efficiencey of forestry and without the need for special bleeching processes, ...... did i miss anything out? missed plenty i'm sure. then theres understanding all that it can do, but also pointing out how how it does these things better than the alternatives we're using today.
oh, and i've just realised.... between (1)industrial and (2)medical, there almost certainly should be quite a little time devoted to how wonderfull a foodstuff it is, regardless of THC content or not.
reeeeeemarkable how perfect a foodstuff for humans is cannabis. no wonder even rational scietist types believe it to be one of the closest symbiotic relationships we have in nature. Cannabis, Mans best friend... and thats not just a stoner's placard slogan for a jay day march. I've had BioEngineers explain it to me in detail, it goes even beyond the deal with the right protiens and amino acids in the exact optimum proportions humans need to best survive, theres all manner of clever little nuances to it.
dingus... fliers... its a great idea, and much needed. if at the very least just to increase the number of people talking about it. even just a conversation from some conservative christian that starts like "those damn hippies have been putting up signs for drugs again", at least its being spoken about, keeping it upfront in the public mind... like those evil advertising and marketing bods say "theres no such thing as bad publicity"... but what do they know really, did they not study propaganda when on their toy degrees? hehe.
perhaps the main reason i have failed to do such a campaign already (or one of any significant size) is i feel i cannot possably make any flier live upto my high standards. how could one possable make such a flier that would just impact on people and yet still convey even the tiniest fraction of the reasoning behind the absolute necessity of cannabis. information overload is our problem.
anyways... to add to the flier idea....
a few more words on possitioning...
perhaps the best places are where you know people will be stopped instead of whizzing past.
so this would include places like:
stop signs and traffic lights.
toll booths
queues
counters and reception desks
waiting rooms
checkouts
of course, the types of fliers for these could all vary depending on the need. for example i suggest, "business cards" for reception desks and huge posters for near stop signs.
and also, i dont think i need tell you the danger of putting some of this stuff up in public places, privately owned public places at that. so caution and stealth is advised. that warning really only goes out to you americans... theres less curtailing of free speach here in the uk... ie Asda are unlikely to set the cops on your ass for putting up a poster with a political message, but Walmart just might.
This is good stuff we've got going on here... i didnt expect this thread to turn into a think tank, but am really really glad it has. something else to thank chris baldwin for.
i'll try to collect some of my pro pot type pictures together for you and post them in a thread here in L&A. *slaps forehead* why had i not thought of that already!?!?! doh.
-edit-
gah, theres always some typo in these long posts hammered out at near max speed my fingers can go that changes the meaning... such as loosing the F from fliers. doh! lol
