Come to the 3rd Annual Portland Hempstalk! We have two days to celebrate nature's most perfect plant, cannabis hemp. This event is to protest the failed policy of marijuana prohibition that denies medicine to the sick and disabled, takes jobs from our farmers and industries, keeps deserving students out of college, imprisons peaceful responsible people, tears apart families, creates violent criminal gangs, diverts tax money into an underground black market, and threatens our environment.

Benefit concert supporting MPP, NORML and WAMM, featuring Willie Nelson, Asleep at the Wheel, Jackie "The Jokeman" Martling, Carolyn Wonderland, Paula Nelson, Mark Stepnoski and others to be announced.

This is a rare chance to meet the other side head-on and show your discontent with wasteful, ineffective marijuana eradication programs and the Drug Czar and his policies generally. John P.
