This will be the letter I mail Mr. Bergland with $4.20 cents. Mr. Bergland is the Green Party candidate that had enough sense to seek information on how this would be good for Nevada. He was a hemp enthusiast to start with and seems to be an average guy, doing his part to restrict his oil consumption by driving a scooter.
Mr. Bergland has come out strongly in favor of Question 7 which will bring legal supply to Nevada that relies heavily on tourism for its dollars. I really cannot see how the business people will let this fail. Anyway, I am just drafting the letter I want to send him in this thread.
This is a historic event and this will get quite lengthy. I regard this a bigger saga than the Dutch Experience. The hugeness of it has seemed to somehow escaped the newspapers of Nevada, but as the fur flies, the global implications of this will be part of the conversations.
To tell you the truth the Federal government is the monkey with his hand in the stump hole with a hold of the bananna. He keeps holding it with its fist locking him in place and now has taken a beating that no politician can speak with the old dogma in public.
This is really a show of karma kicks dogma ass. Prohibition is supposed to prohibit and it cannot do that even with all the money and harms it is inflicting. It is time to unprohibit and I do not see how this can fail except with those fascist wishing machines without a paper trail.
I signed each page Virgil and dated each of 4 sheets and dated them Friday November 6, 2006. I wrote "Dogma meets Karma" at the top of each page and signed it "Mike Preston- Free Cannabis For Everyone"

Dear Mr. Bergland,
In the spirit of 420, I enclose this check for $4.20 cents for seeing the importance of Question 7 and trying to understand all its wonderful implications. We still have about a month and at this point I feel confident that the people will finally see the obvious. Jack Herer in “The Emperor Wears No Clothes” told us with the title that the only thing that needs prohibiting, is prohibition itself. It is nakedly wrong and obviously does not prohibit, which is supposed to be the ideal that calls us to suffer with the most onerous, malicious and vicious policies by any government of all places and all times, if you exclude the harsher forms of historical slavery. But slavery in this country was a holdout and cannabis prohibition something we created. When you consider the Prohibition of 1914 as amended was imposed on the world for purpose of Empire and a police state it makes you wonder about which institutionalized form of slavery is worse. Maybe the harsh form here was more deep, but the fascist form is much more broad.
As you know, I regard the Red and Blue Party as a criminal organization and I in good conscious could not vote for any of their candidates for any office. If I lived in Nevada I would vote no Red and no Blue. I could vote Green. I would vote Green for governor. You and Question 7 are similar in that The Choice Is Obvious. My button in support of Question 7 would be "Don't be a fool on Question 7." One reason I quit talking to people supporting prohibition is because they believe what they believe because they have been duped. They have been played. I really don't like telling people they are fools, even when they are in the truest sense of the word, but I wouldn't mind have a button, or a politician for that matter, that tells these freedom-haters that they believe the wrong thing and really, really, are a collection of fools. You might want to put "Unprohibit" on that button, because the real fools may think they are right yet again.
I am a freedom seeker, whose only challenge will be to figure out how soon I might make my way to Nevada once a legal supply of recreational cannabis bud is available for enhancement. I know of the tyranny and I feel the tyranny. I know of the insanity and I feel the insanity. I feel no domestic tranquility because there is none, and you cannot smoke a joint in peace anywhere in the country.
I always have the need to say to myself when sparking a joint, “In defiance of treason.” I appreciate your efforts to take a bite out of treason. I hope you and the Green Party are not “soft on treason.” That treason is bad shit.
One of the big ideas I always wanted to convey was that cannabis consumption was really primarily an activity. Day after day, I have read the relentless and unvarying lies of the prohibitionists, who never could prohibit something that is very beneficial and will be the medicine for alcohol that the prohibitionists thought needed prohibiting in the first place. How would the world be different if racist Wilson had an advisor that called for increasing the intake of cannabis, instead of pursuing an amendment for prohibition. Just how different would it have been not to have had that first prohibition and this Prohibition of 1914 as Amended?
Maybe thanks to people like you, we will one day see a world where cannabis shows its superiority to alcohol. The world will one day be dominated by a cannabis culture where there is a to be created new term for enhanced appetizers. Nevada will give the country medpot without the need of paying a doctor. It will give the country the word medpot because it will come to use when the sick and dying come to see if all the miracles are true about cannabis. It will be the cashier behind the counter and ahead of the long lines saying "medpot" to save hundreds of syllables a day over saying "medical marijuana."
I remember how The Dutch Experience opened as the first coffeehouse in the UK with its promise to deliver medpot at half its normal price along the Dutch model of coffeehouses. The story was always interrupted by the raids, but I still remember these 5 years later of the stories of the women that came in by wheelchair because of MS, took some non-FDA tokes, and would leave her wheelchair at the DE because she had to walk home and clean the house.
Colin Davies was the Englishman partner of the Dutch Nol van Schaik. Nol was a pioneer in starting the cofffeeshops in Holland almost 35 years ago and now owns three coffeeshops in Harlem. He owns the www.HempCity.net forums where you can see the inside of the coffeeshops on the Internet. It is funny how the coffeeshops prohibiti alcohol consumption- dam drunks are a pain in the ass.
The Dutch Experience was started just as much for medpot as it was to redefine freedom to include something the cave man could do. The DE, as it was expressed on the messageboard of the time, would not last a year and Colin Davies, the hero, would be thrown into one of those old stone prisons whose very name was meant to deter crime and really made it valuable for people to commit crimes to be smart in not getting convicted. Maybe the worse the conditions in the prison, the more money the lawyers made. I'm just saying its all part of the same system.
I wish Colin Davies and Nol van Schaik could be at the opening celebrations. They are some of the real champions of medpot and should be remembered as people that tried to preserve the floor on the rights of man before the new generation of Wealthy Rulers.
The new era of pharmaceuticalization of the greatest medicinal plant in history was gathering fame in 2002 when GW Pharmaceuticals was trying to introduce its tincture of cannabis called Sativex. They like to say extract , but I think it is correct to call an alcohol solution a tincture. I am not saying they are thoughtherding on this or anything, but neither am I. I am just trying to use the most true word. So, my big question was what will the warning label say. In all candor, Nol, whose board name then at DE and now at HempCity is cannabinol (the CBD cannabinoid), gave a great reply worthy of remembrance. Nol said the warning label should say "Don't smoke these pills."
The Irish woman, Biz Ivol, was another hero of medpot. She had MS and would distribute medpot chocolate bars through a network of mercy, and the website and organization she started is there today and speaking of their trials coming up on December 4, charged with conspiracy to supply cannabis with penalties up to 14 years- http://thc4ms.org/index2.php
I wish Biz Ivol could be there but some combination of MS and prohibitionism sent her to the worms. You know that Len Bias, didn't die of cocaine? I now it is tangent, but I was thinking about death certificates. But really I should be thinking heroes worthy of the the great celebration that will take place in Nevada, if the fascist wish machines at the board of elections don't steal freedom once again.
There is another champion of medpot, maybe the greatest that has ever been, in Marc Paquette. Marc Paquette is on disability in Canada and his every day is dedicated to advancing the promise that medpot is waiting to deliver, if not restore, to the world. He provides fro and protects Medpot.net. l call Marc, Mr. Medpot. He is somewhat proud of his spelling, MedPot with that capital P.
Well, who am I to argue with Mr. MedPot. Mr. MedPot has a place in Nevada history, for it is he that will be the one most responsible for the soon to be adoption of the term medpot, by those that will spend billions on medpot in Nevada, where now some are only looking for the money that will come
from taxing the stoners. I wish Marc Paquette could be there for the celebration of medpot when Nevada opens the doors for pharmaceuticals where it means "medicine from plants" in a historic sense, and medicine without a doctor in the soon-to-be Nevada sense.
There is the old joke about a man and his beautiful wife passing in front of the guerrilla at the zoo where an unsatisfied animal was apeshit with an erection. The man would walk to the gate of the cage and fling his wife in and then told her “Tell him you have a headache?” Valerie Corral of WAMM is a type of guerrilla, more Patriot First Class in reality. There is no telling her no on medpot. She may have the greatest story in all of medpot. When the DEA showed up with their caravan of guns and agents to be met by a group of sick and dying at the gate of the medicine garden of WAMM. It would make one powerful movie. At the end it could list in memorial the names of those that died following the chainsaw execution of the plants near harvest. Valerie Corral was in handcuffs I believe, when she made the DEA agents cry when she conveyed the wrongness of her acts.
The pictures of the WAMM raid are preserved by yet another hero of medpot and freedom and all that is right. You might want to tell your citizens of Nevada to ponder Martha's work at http://www.freedomtoexhale.com/ And I think you should be there to with Loretta Nall to ask her to join the Green Party in ushering in a policy of harm reduction on substance use where everyone zooms out to take a look at the larger picture of the things we consume that rob society of our health wealth. And I toked in anticipation of I passed the peace pipe to Loretta Nall as representative of the Mword Party, I would say, “Thank you Martha, wherever you are.”
Question 7 is your chance to champion for freedom, justice, and medpot. I am sure you will be the best champion you can be. I hope 420 sends you buttons. I hope 420 sends you money. Now I wish I had my old button machine or money to get a better one.
Jack Herer is the grandaddy of all the champions of medpot and all things cannabis. The California legislature passed a hemp bill that evoked cheers on its announcement. Jack Herer said it was bad legislation. His reputation of knowledge and heart was enough to know. People of Mr. Herer and his rebuke of the hemp bill were happy upon Arnie's veto. That is part of the great thing about proven heroes. You know they know what they are talking about and there heart is in the right place.
I would carry a copy of Jack Herer's book wherever people could see me with it. I would say that Jack Herer has the draft of the words to the California initiative in 2008 at his website and when Jack Herer calls for legalization of possession, sale, and cultivation of cannabis he is the one that has to be the ideal. When Jack Herer endorses setting the pot prisoners free he does so in the spirit of justice and making the world a better place. Jack Herer wrote the book.
I doubt that the Question 7 people wrote to Jack Herer for words of endorsement. It would show leadership if you would email Jack Herer and ask his opinion on Question 7. Even without his words to print out and wave like Chamberlain and his print of the treaty with Germany I would say, supporting Question 7 is what Jack would do. Jesus too.
I cannot expect you to fund much of anything, if the cannabis community and your party cannot see the need to $4.20. I would hope you would get enough money to at least journey to the steps of every country courthouse where at least you can take a picture of you holding Jack Herer's book in one hand and a sign in the other. That sign might say “Vote for the obvious on Question 7, we have to get past this.” and on the other it might say “Do the smart thing and vote by absentee ballot. Don't use the wish machines at the board of elections.”
Since you have those positions surely there is enough support to by your gas for a trip to the courthouse steps of the few counties in Nevada. Pictures are forever. It is not important to speak unless moved to speak. It is important to take the pictures to show that the Green Party is speaking out that we must get passed the obvious. Take off that shirt. Show some knee. Get some flesh colored pants so it looks like the man with the sign is wearing no clothes.
Have some fun, but take some pictures for your grandchildren. Show the Green Party has some ability with the photo op. Go out into the garage with some red, white and blue underwear and pin on a few buttons. Get some green underwear. Hold Jack's book in one hand and a long pole that rest on the ground with your advocacy of Question 7 and harm reduction as policy over drug prohibition and your advocacy of using absentee ballots. When you right Jack ask him if he can help you with obtaining a hemp pole.
Be proud and put that “Vote Craig Bergland for Governor of Nevada” on there around the edges. Make a sign to be proud of. I hope you can tell as many people as possible that we need to restore the dignity to a lot of Americans. We owe them an apology at the very least. We have to say as a state and as a country we have always been wrong. Tell them Jack Herer says so and you agree. But you don't have to worry about it. You offered Nevada a choice for governor that was not of the Red and Blue Party and a man with an honest voice. I would vote for you if I lived in Nevada. Your heart is in the right place.
We as individuals can only do so much. There is a wind of change that must bring with it the broad views on reducing the harms of the substances we use and the harms that government does when it serves the wrong masters. People are joining The Wind is joined by more and more as the harms of government and its tyranny, spending, and wrongness cannot escape our thoughts and the way we feel. The wind of change needs to concentrate on Nevada for the benefit of the world.
It is not much, but it is an honor to send some wind from North Carolina. I will encourage others to send some wind. You may be famous for the politician that received buttons. I am sure you would carry our words if we sent them too you. We will send you $4.20 or buttons so that you might carry our words. I don't have a monopoly on BS, but I have made more BS (bumpersticker) phrases than you could ever pin on. Have no doubt. Check my references.
You need $4.20. We need you to carry our words. Money and buttons coming. We together will summon The Wind to blow over Nevada. Dogma meet Karma.
Unprohibit mword,
Mike (Virgil) Preston
