Mission Statement

To inspire people worldwide to stand up and become active in ending the injustice and hypocricy of the international failure known as the War on Drugs. We will work relentlessly to win the oppourtunity to enjoy the economic, industrial, medical, and spiritual uses of the hemp/cannabis plant; a plant that has never killed a single person in all of recorded history.
