I saw this and thought it was a great idea You don't have to spend your money any differently, just put a mark on every bill you get to show you support cannabis law reform. Ill leave it to the internet hive-mind to come up with the mark. I thought perhaps C = $ would be simple enough to get attention, while putting a doobie in George Washington's mouth would pay tribute to his farming practices. I find the leaf is too hard to draw regularly, but if you like that, go for it. In the end, it doesn't matter so much that we all use the mark, but that every dollar we use gets marked. The beauty of this campaign is that the message gets across while being covert. What, there's a cannabis leaf on my bills? I got them like that. they just seem to be showing up these days. So break out the ballpoint pen.
Pretty cool idea ya. I think something more meaningful than the leaf would better, something like C=£ or something yeah. Something that specifically spreads the message of legalisation rather than the use of the drug.
Would get ideas flowing and isn't as bad as some stuff written on dollar bills. Could be interesting. You can be the government would be destroying every one of these bills they find though.
Good idea, I shall write that as I have a lot of bills. Can't wait to see one come back with it written on it!
FYI the circulation time of a given dollar bill is very low. You would be better doing this on something like a 20; they last longer.
This has been brought up before (in this very board, I believe), and if I recall correctly it was not generally regarded as a very good idea.
It's pretty ineffective. Most Americans have heard the term "Legalize marijuana" before, reading it on money isn't going to change their stance on it. Also, it doesn't shine any sort of positive light on marijuana legalization at all.
I think that the subject is on another level these days, and spreading the simple message can be more positive than ever
Spreading the message is easy. It's how the message is received that matters. People looking down to see their money defaced doesn't exactly generate an initially positive reaction unless you presuppose that the person viewing the dollar is already sympathetic to the cause of the message written on it, in which case the effort was pointless.
I think the best way to spread the word is through marijuana itself. Invite people who don't smoke to join you in a sesh sometime to show them its not bad. Spread marijuana like a religion almost instead of just saying people don't understand, show them through an experience. Hands-on is a very effective way of learning something.
