As a good friend of mine once said, "I've Never seen someone on a Grass High
Standing on the Pool Table, saying Bring it On!"

If sanity such as this prevails, how long before we Outlaw Killing people to
show that killing people is wrong?...

Here's the stats:

Peace and Joy,

DPFOK supporters and friends,

It was a great election night for marijuana reform.

10 out of 13 marijuana reforms passed nationwide!

Please see the results below this message.

The state initiatives failed, but each received 40 percent or more
of the vote!

With the shift in governmental power after last night's nationwide
results, it is only a matter of time for major reform.

There is also the possibility of additional momentum from the
pending lawsuits against federal officials who may have improperly,
if not illegally used federal money to campaign against the
initiatives. For more on this go to: MPP.org

I urge all drug policy reform supporters to keep on marching; we are
closer than ever to major drug policy reform!

Peace 2 ya,

Jeff Pickens
