The Legalize Marijuana Party of South Jersey: Ed "njweedman" Forchion, Founder. This party appears to be completely by Ed, for Ed and of Ed, founded on the basis of his arrest on November 24, 1997 and subsequent charge of 1st degree possession of marijuana in excess of 25lbs. As a Rastafarian, Ed believes his religious rights are being trampled by the nation's war on drugs and has formed the LMP to encourage others with like minds to campaign for legalization of marijuana. And if the party can somehow keep him out of jail, so much the better.

 

To promote the legalization of marijuana through political means, specifically. Yet to support freedom for everyone generally. We hope to encourage others to pass the herb and take action, by running for political office under the LMP. By providing a party, that with it's name slogan, sending clearly the message of the candidate , we hope to reach citizens that support the rights of other citizens to choose natural medicine without fear of arrest. No LMP member has to use any drugs, but all must respect the freedom of others that choose to use. We of the LMP promote a return to the US Constitution, as it was written, not as the democratic and republican parties have twisted it. Nowhere is it justified in the Constitution that the state or federal government could regulate the intake of our personnel bodies, therefore no member shall submit to these illegal laws. Compliance is acceptance. All members must enlighten the public to resistance tactics. We as members of the LMP all pledge to support and honor the Bill of Rights. All members do support the second amendment, but refrain from any acts that would be called offensive or terrorist. Acts of civil dis-obedience is highly encouraged, so long as no citizen is hurt (physically or financially) by any action of our party members. The growing of our medicine for one's own community shall be viewed as a heroic accomplishment to be rewarded with praise and assistance. No member should ever disclose the location of our medicine, or our medical providers. The true facts of marijuana shall be presented openly, marijuana myths debunked as such. Only minors shall be banned from using marijuana, no member should ever provide marijuana to a minor not of his/her own blood. All members must pledge allegiance to our cause by renouncing any affiliation to the Republican/Democratic Parties, which are to be considered "traitors" by the LMP and it's members. The Republican and Democratic parties, as well as the American Bar Association and it's members have declared "WAR" on their fellow American citizen this is treason so Whenever, wherever, possible, LMP members shall expose to the public the "traitorous" actions of these politicians. Heckling is highly suggested, "pie throwing" is funny and effective. Other political parties, or associations, and members of parties, or associations that promote personal freedoms shall be treated as allies. i.e., (libertarian Party, Reform Party, Fija). We all must realize this country is going to be free or drug free. "NOT BOTH". So we as members of the LMP declare our support to freedom only. As a member of the LMP we all must love our country, even though many of us fear our (republican/democratic lead) government. Any and all members who have the good fortune to acquire our medicine shall not deny other members access. In real words "SHARE the WEED".
