If you've never organized a March before, you might want to plan it further out. March 31st isn't much time to properly promote, make and distribute flyers, posters, partner w other groups, secure speakers, etc. Also if you're going to go the legal route, you'll need a permit from the city. Unless you only plan to March on the sidewalks. Let me know if you have general questions, I've organized marches and demonstrations in a few states.

Nice work!

I've never heard police calling it a "sunshine request" before. Usually it's referred to as FOIA (Freedom of Information Act Requests). From what I can tell generally a Sunshine request has to do with government meetings and being able to get access to those minutes, actions, votes etc. And originally the Sunshine law was a federal law passed after Watergate that some states also passed their own version later. Guess it's a Missouri thing to call it Sunshine.

Not the same exit, but exit 13 near Joplin has increíble Indian food. It has a sign in Hindi too. Normally you wouldnt think food from a gas station could be good. It's called Rasoi and at the Big Apple Travel Center.

A former legislator (Eddie Armstrong) became part of a Chicago cannabis corporation and wrote the law without the help of any of the longstanding activists in the state. They wrote a bad law that put too few companies in control, had no grow your own, a low possession level and many more bad provisions. This created a massive opposition by pro Marijuana activists. Combine that with the anti prohibition crowd and you have a loosing campaign.

Seriously. If all 5 states on the ballot pass, we'll be at 24 legalized states and build momentum to federally end cannabis prohibition. This is part of national strategy too. Vote yes.

What? You'd rather have 9,000 arrested every year and not be able to legally purchase cannabis? It's not mass produced. There are already over 100 different cannabis companies in Missouri and issue 3 leads to even more competition including micro licenses.

Yes on 3. You can grow your own, has no caps on dispensaries, improves medical program, expunges past Marijuana convictions. It's better than Colorado's law. Issues 3 was created by activists who passed the medical cannabis law.

Vote early like today, tomorrow at the Booneville address. I voted yesterday morning and it took about 20 minutes. #Yeson3

Current felony cannabis limits in Missouri have anything over 35g (barely over an ounce) of up to 7 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine. What we'll be voting on allows 21+ to possess up to 3 ounces with no penalties. SO now, it doesn't create a new felony. It lowers the penalties.

The amendment allows a minimum of 144 new business licenses (no maximum). There are already over 100 different cannabis entities in the state. So the idea that this will create a monopoly is silly.

By the way, the folks that are running this campaign are the same folks that passed the medical cannabis law in 2016.
