I've done a few things over the years. I rebuted the Republican legislature leader in a newspaper once. And got Antonin Scalia at the Jefferson Religeous Freedom monument with a big pot leaf " Hypocrites" sign. Photoed by the secret service,( remind me to tell you about San Francisco, the George H.W. Bush parade route, LSD, the Jerry Band and the Secret Service). I wrote some Congressmen and legislators. I can't talk about what I've done lately for privacy reasons ,but I have faced a backlash from the authorities before for speaking up so I am going to mention that I could face retribution again. It shouldn't be that way but that's reality. It hasn't paid to stick my neck out.
I was lucky and got to say Hi to Jack Herer at a Dead show. So much in the pot world has changed since then. I got to hear Dennis Peron speak at Conde's hemp festival. Conde is an activist that paid for it and got picked on. I have a book of matches somewhere from Conde's Redwood Lumber that has an activist message and pot leaf on it. I wish I could have left the U.S. like he did. I used to write Bill Chengalis and never even knew he was a pot activist. He told me an amazingly funny story about getting busted at a Grateful Dead concert, by a cop who thought he had cocaine and tasted it. Crystal LSD.
I don't do LSD anymore but I don't regret doing it. Being a Deadhead was enough to get numbered by the FBI and DEA and fucked with hard for doing very little.
