INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL MARIJUANA DAY ART AUCTION ON NOV 15, BY Ted Smith
By Hempology | November 6, 2005
We will be hosting our 3rd Annual Silent Art Auction to raise money to pay legal fees on Tues Nov 15 concluding at 7pm. We will also be holding a rally at die Ministry of Health on Blanschard St. at 4:20 pm to publicly celebrate International Medical Marijuana Day. This will be the 11th time that we have done something on that day to raise awareness about the medical uses of cannabis in 1999. 1 came up with the idea of giving out cookies as a means to stir up the issues, mid successfully gave out 101 cookies with the police watching the whole event. Unfortunately, the next year police were there to arrest me before it started, hence the jury trial on page 1.
We need artists to donate art for the auction, please. Due to a lack of space mid rich people, we will only take 2 pieces of work from any one person. Anyone willing to help should please contact me at the club. The last two years we have raised over $1,000 mid hope for about die same again this time. This year the money will be used to cover expenses from die club’s trial of last January when 1 was convicted of selling cannabis resin at the club mid the approximately $1,000 it cost for the transcripts from that trial, which we needed for the appeal. In the future, if we have no other trial to deal with, we plan upon using money from the art auction for helping to defend various growers caught supplying clubs or any other appropriate medical cases that we choose. We hope other clubs start annual art auctions to raise money so we can fight the government in court as much as possible. The City of Victoria will be asked to officially proclaim Nov 15 as International Medical Marijuana Day for the 4th year in a row. While only symbolic in nature, this declaration does prove that the general population is very supportive of the medical need of cannabis. We hope that our friends with the Seattle Green Cross will convince their city council to pass a similar resolution which will make the event truly international in scope, as it was 10 years ago when we started.
