"In light of our five, down state, 2012 victories here in Michigan, the truth is winning!

We cannot be lied to anymore about this 'miracle' plant that can actually save our planet. But, it is up to us, it is our God-given right and duty to keep spreading the truth. Now is not the time to sit back and relax, enjoying our victories, for there are many more to come, just waiting to happen, on all fronts, if we will listen to our hearts and heed the call to end cannabis prohibition now! The truth is spreading thru out our planet. If one will do this, then the truth will be victorious, and we shall see an end to the lies in our life-time."

 

Brad Forrester is current Local Programs Director for Cheboygan NORML, one of the original founders of the Michigan Medical Marijuana Association and architect of one of 2012's great happenings, the inclusion of cannabis activists in the Labor Day bridge walk.
