And I was so looking forward to meeting you.....no worries there, we can keep this thread alive with incentive for the future.
And hey....sorry things are anything less than wonderful for you. :peace:
Jerry can eat pancakes on your behalf...unless I have serious munchies, I'll probably give mine to someone standing on the side of the road---will work for food. :sad:

Yall had a pancake fundraiser at applebees? i wish i was able to get to charlotte... cant get out of here for a while though.... we should definitely do a march on the capitol soon though... i would defienitely be down for this. I wish it was easier to know who is good and bad on here so i knew who i could trust! would be nice to have a rally so i could meet a couple fellow growers in the area. the one i went to last year had an open mic... this was a good idea, we should do that again. maybe if we could get a couple bands and stuff there too. we could turn it into a march and then a little festival on the capitol grounds! maybe my gf could bring some of the hemp jewelery she makes and others could as well...

what kind of permits would we need to hold an event on the capitol like this? i bet we could put flyers up around ncstate campus! that is how i foound out last year about the march. i am willing to do whatever volunteer work its going to take to get this off of the ground. i am currently unemployed so this would be a great hobby for me! i wouldnt mind being more in tune with medicinal community also. i do not personally have a need for medicinal marijuana. except maybe my migranes but i only get them a couple times a month. i do however support fully the idea of the legalization of medical marijuana in north carolina to the fullest and i really would like to be a part of this transition of our state to a mmj state

Thanks for the enthusiasm mkay, I known Babs will surely appreciate it.

Our pancake fundraiser didn't happen, which actually turned to out to be the best because most people had issues arrive that would have prevented their attendance.

As it stands now, there is another pancake deal scheduled for November 21st. Here are the details I've got right now...

November 21st: Fuquay-Varina. NC Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser Breakfast from 8-10 am at the Applebee’s Restaurant in Fuquay-Varina, NC. Join us for a Short Stack for a Tall Cause, meet NCCPN organizers and help return dignity and equal rights to NC’s sick and suffering.

As far as getting permits for a march/rally, I imagine one would have to go through the city/county where the event would be held.

There appears to be scheduled marches that happen periodically throughout the state, so it may be more pertinent for us to locate and support those rather than trying to organize a march. But I guess if there aren't any coming up for a while why not organize a march right?

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Washington, DC:[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] United States Deputy Attorney General David Ogden issued a memorandum to federal prosecutors on Monday directing them to not "focus federal resources ... on individuals whose actions are in clear and unambiguous compliance with existing state laws providing for the medical use of marijuana." [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The directive upholds a campaign promise by President Obama, who had previously pledged that he was "not going to be using Justice Department resources to try to circumvent state laws on this issue."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Commenting on the directive, NORML Executive Director Allen St. Pierre said: "We applaud the administration for discouraging the use of federal resources to improperly target and prosecute state-authorized medical marijuana patients and their providers. However, this directive ushers a change in policy rather than a change in law. A better solution would be for Congress to move expeditiously to pass House Bill 2835, The Medical Marijuana Patient Protection Act of 2009, which would ensure – once and for all – that medical cannabis patients in states that have approved its use will no longer have to fear arrest or prosecution from federal law enforcement agencies."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Introduced in June, HB 2835 has 29 co-sponsors. The measure awaits action from the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. This was sent to me from NORMAL[/FONT]

I checked the www.NCCPN.org and to my surprise found this: :neutral:

Boycott Applebee's

October 7th, 2009

After holding one pancake fundraiser breakfast in Clemmons on Sept. 12th, we were told by the manager of Applebee's in Fuquay that we could not hold any more pancake breakfasts at their restaurants. The program which is "open to all non-profits" is not open to any non-profit that is "politically charged" according to the home office at Apple Gold.

Well, that is certainly disappointing, especially when you look at the list of other non-profit organizations that are clearly politically motivated.

Hi there - I'm new to these forums, primarily because of the intense need for surfing for information on this topic.

Does this bill even still have a pulse? I've read tidbits about the vote being set for today, but I absolutely cannot find any information.

I take up home in the Western mountainous area of North Carolina, and even in my small town there are a lot of people who could sincerely benefit from this kind of reform.

We've written our representatives; we've gotten auto-generated responses.

Any searches I bring up on the internet very quickly deadpan, and the status page of the bill doesn't appear to have been updated since this whole thing started.

Someone - what's going on?

Thank You for these youtube posts. I REALLY enjoyed the second one.

I actually have driven up and gotten out of my car to look at a Hemp Field in Farmville, about 1 month ago. IT WAS AMAZING. It made me dream of being a farmer even. The field was at least 5+ acres and a solid 12 foot tall wall. SOLID. I bet every sq ft had about 3-5 plants in it. It was just amazing. After seeing real hemp farmed, it made me realize it is a great alternative to the cotton they grow around here; as far as making textiles and paper. There must have been many times more "product" there vs cotton in the same field. Seeing this started making me think about subsidized crops and government politics, ick. Tobacco is a dieing thing in our area, hemp could make a lot of people money here. From asking around only a few farmers have the needed license to grow this hemp....but I don't really know squat about that, just know that field was inspiring.
