Memorial Day, 2001
We dedicate this page to the men, women, and children who have given thier lives for cannabis reform.
Memorial Day, legal holiday, observed annually on the last Monday in May in
most of the United States, in honor of the nation's armed services personnel killed in wartime. The holiday, originally
called Decoration Day, is traditionally marked by parades, memorial speeches and ceremonies, and the decoration of graves with flowers and flags, hence the original name. Memorial Day was first observed on May 30, 1868, on the order of General John Alexander Logan for the purpose of decorating the graves of the American Civil War dead. It was observed on May 30 until 1971, when most states changed to a newly established federal schedule of holiday observance. Confederate Memorial Day, formerly a legal holiday in many southern states, is still observed on the fourth Monday in April in Alabama, the last Monday in April in Mississippi, and April 26 in Florida and Georgia.
To nominate someone, send e-mail to us with the persons full name and a short paragraph you would offer in memorial.

BE Smith
|
54 year old two time Vietnam vet and Grandfather to 19
who just served 27 months for growing 87 plants under Prop 215. The prosecution admitted that he would not have been prosecuted if he hadn't exercised his constitutional rights of free speech and
appears in the press to say what he'd been doing. He told the Judge at sentencing that he walked the point in Vietnam, that he served his country then and he would do his time as a
service to those
persons for whom a prison term would be a death sentence.
Judge Burrell in federal court in Sacramento found BE Smith had no remorse and sentenced him to the maximum - the Judge even gave BE an extra
7 months for being in a High Times article - the added 7 months was later overturned on appeal AFTER BE did the time.

In Memory of Laura J. Carden
|
Never Stop Fighting…
Or Caring…Jay R. Cavanaugh, PhD
It is not enough to say Laura Carden (LJ) was my friend. The old truck driver with the bent spine and 49’er jersey was more than a friend. She was, and is, an
inspiration. In a day of phony politicians, institutional indifference, general complacency, and everyday dishonesty, LJ was a breath of fresh air. MORE
