Jack Herer never became a Green Party member due to the Green Party not actively supporting his Cannabis petitions. I had the pleasure of hosting Jack & friends in my Venice home a few years back during his last petition drive where we shared a meal and the sacred incense of the goddess. I had gathered just over 1,000 signatures on his petition that he was there to pick up and discuss his next petition drive. Unfortunately, Jack passed before this came about, but several of his friends have put together the current petition.

Bear in mind that the Marijuana Policy Project and the Drug Policy Alliance planned on waiting until 2016 to field another California Marijuana Petition. So these groups are not supporting the CCHI Initiative effort. Also, CCHI is a full legalization of all forms of Cannabis, going much further
 then MPP or DPA are willing to go.  

Buddy Duze is currently driving north to San Francisco to drop of petition stock along the way and to be at the Bluegrass Festival. Call him directly to obtain petition stock and to volunteer as a local or regional coordinator for the CCHI petition. .

If Greens were to take an active role in qualifying the CCHI Initiative there would be many positive benefits that could help reinvigorate the Green Party. First, if Greens show their worth then CCHI could promote registering all CCHI petition signers as Greens. Second, lets bring the Cannabis activists into the Green Party fold..

Peace,

Barry, I just juggled my schedule a bit and will come in to SF for the event for a bit.  I guess I can pick up petitions there.

For those of us who have only been active in the party in this century, will Hank or someone else tell me a bit about who Jack Herer is.  Well, I just did a wikipedia search so now have an idea.  Did he ever become a Green?

I've tried doing voter registration at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass before.  Almost no one wants to take the time to stop and register to vote while they are going from one stage to another.

>>I also think it is good to endorse during the signature gathering.  When I helped Greens in AZ collect ballot access signatures, we were most successful when also sharing a marijuana legalization petition.  Of course it is far easier to get ballot access signatures saying they think the Green Party should get to be on the ballot than to get people to register Green.

CA.  Barry, do you know if there is any organized effort there from SF Greens?  I am tabling at a local music event in my county for a Green candidate for city council on Sunday.  If the SF Greens are organized, I might try to get up there to help on Saturday, though I already have two or three other things on my calendar.
