First off, if any of you use Hulu and have seen the film called Johnny Appleweed on there, do your self a favor, don’t watch it.  It’s utter shit.  Seriously.  I like movies in spite of bad acting, bad writing, and bad production values.

For example?  I own a copy of a film called The Unnameable 2 which is, frankly, a terrible bastardiztion of HP Lovecraft’s fiction.  However, despite the bad acting, writing, and terrible production values, I still like the movie because I’m so fond of the source material on which it is based.  The fact that the “source material” for this piece of shit Johnny Appleweed movie is essentially the same idea that gave birth to the Johnny Weedseed Project means, in theory, I should be somewhat benevolent towards this movie, and I’m not.

It sucks.  Don’t watch it.  HOWEVER!  It is not all bad.  My attempt to turn this into an internet movement may have been 10 years delayed, but it seems that now IS the time for this idea to become reality.  Bad movies are being made, a few other websites are popping up, and Healthy, being the tech genius of the two of us, has brought it to my attention that we’ve had a few people wander onto the site curtousy of google searches and the Johnny Weedseed Project.

Welcome to any and all wishing to embrace the idea of legalization through proliferation.  Please, go out, plant your seeds.  Encourage your friends and dealers to join in.  We can do this.  Now, I’m going to retreat to my cave so I can resume my research on fatty acids and how THC bonds to them.  If any of you are bio-chem majors and want to help enlighten me, feel free to drop Healthy or I a line.

Adieu mon amis!

10 years ago when I had the idea for the Johnny Weedseed project, I was too proud to ask for help.  I wanted to do it alone, so I kept it to my self.  Foolish, I know, and it mothballed for a decade.  I’m confident I am not the first to come up with the idea that I have named the Johnny Weedseed Project, and now I’m hoping to share it with as many others as I can so the dream can become a reality.

At this point you may be wondering, “So what the hell is the idea, wordy?”  Well, it’s simple.  I don’t think marijuana should be illegal.  I’m guessing if you’re reading this, you probably agree.  The thing about laws though, is they’re only as good as the enforcement, and enforcement is a matter of logistics.  Number of officers, vehicles, dogs, etc, all of these are finite and limited things.  If the police didn’t have budget problems, they wouldn’t set up monthly speed traps to boost their revenues. Even still, as we all know, crimes go unpunished.  Well, simply put, the Johnny Weedseed Project is an initiative to make marijuana enforcement so expensive and impractical that it can’t be done.  To make the “situation on the ground” be that marijuana is just too damn common place to hope to try and contain it or enforce laws prohibiting ownership of it.

Now, this may sound like a pie in the sky dream, but its not.  There’s a reason that cannabis is nicknamed weed.  It grows like one.  It needs little attention, can grow in almost any climate, and spreads quickly.  I’m not proposing anybody go out and plant fields of weed.  There’s already lots of those, and law enforcement will concentrate their efforts on such obviously dense regions.  I’m talking about all of us, however many millions strong we marijuana users are, just planting our seeds at random.  Throw them in your neighbor’s yard when walking your dog.  Toss them out the car window on the highway.  Plant them at rest stops.  Hide them amongst the potted shrubs at your work place.  If there’s dirt, and sun, put seeds in it.  Never a lot, a few in any one spot should do fine.  Ideally, in a few seasons time, cannabis will start to truly spread like the weed it is.  When there’s 3 bushes on the side of the road and random plants sprouting up in every neighborhood, it will eventually become impractical to continue enforcing possession.  At that point, well, victory will have been achieved.

None of us could hope to do this alone.  Together, we can each make an individual contribution to make a lasting change on the society in which we live.  In short, “Yes, we can.”  Heh
