SIGN SENSIBLE BC MARIJUANA REFERENDUM

For decades pot users have been labelled, marginalized, jailed, 
fined, lied about and pushed to the fringes of your community. Lies 
about the harmful effects have not been borne out, yet we allow them 
to run the agenda.

A social stigma that neither accurately reflects marijuana users nor 
the plant, has kept users underground.

But today several U.S. states have decriminalized marijuana. Macleans 
magazine called for its legalization. A former B.C. attorney-general 
has weighed in on decriminalization. The B.C. Municipalities 
Association has called for the end to this nonsense of jailing smokers.

Now is the time for all marijuana smokers to step out of the closet 
and sign the Sensible BC referendum in your area. There will be no 
better time than now. And it wouldn't hurt to bring a few friends.
