THERE IS AN OFFICIAL MASSCANN MYSPACE (SEE MY TOP FRIENDS LIST) and OFFICIAL MASSCANN.ORG WEBSITE.
I book the music and a rare speaker or two for the annual MassCann/NORML Boston Freedom Rally on the Boston Common.
The Rally is a huge, free, independent marijuana reform festival with the best homegrown talent and national speakers on the Boston Common every year, the third Sat every September, High Noon, a Boston tradition.

From John Cunningham's campaign website.
"When my wife was dying of cancer, she smoked marijuana.
It helped with the pain, reduced the nausea after chemotherapy, and boosted her appetite.But she had to buy her drugs on the black market,paying ridiculous prices, getting uncertain quality, and risking arrest.
Why?"

You Don’t Support Free Speech If You Refuse to Be Interviewed for Corporate News?
Category: News and Politics
And it's perfectly acceptable to cut off the response when you don't like it? Of course, FOX NEWS logic for those who have been programmed. It's all just programming, for the programmed. If your not with the program, then you don't support free speech!
Smiling, seeemingly nice but dumb and programmed fox news guy wearing my glassses, dude you need to give me my glasses back and just admit that you are working for scum. We know you are smiling because you can't believe they put you on TV. I think the programmed could even see through your goofy reading of the FOX NEWS daily talking points script word for word like that. I want a picture the day they let you go, if you're still smiling, I'll hire you. (Mike C)

GRAVEYARD BBQ Signs To Universal Music Group? Open Call For Video Shoot/ Show W/ PROSPECT HILL
Category: News and Politics
Word on the street, is our 2008 MassCann/NORML Boston Freedom Rally headliners, GRAVEYARD BBQ, just signed a major label deal with UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP? Any truth to that BRIXX or you just having some fun on the internets again? Haha. But congrats to BBQ, either way!
GRAVEYARD BBQ is holding a video shoot and asking for BBQ Nation to assemble at 2PM in Waltham on August 24th. Be there if you want to be part of BBQ Nation history.
Also check out the Wally's show, with our two Freedom Rally co-headliners, GRAVEYARD BBQ and PROSPECT HILL. Not a MassCann/NORML benefit show but it features two of our biggest supporting music acts, our friends.
I won't be there but watching and posting videos as they come in from the Seattle Hempfest. It's not lame to smoke at 4:20 with them but in my place, Boston.
Looks like Jimi D might be there? Jimi D are you just coordinating or actually partaking in the Seattle Hempfest? Post some pics or vids for us here. I want to see the trees, brownies, speakers, bands, stoner chicks, crowd, interviews, smoking, you at Seattle Hempfest...(Mike Cann)
I was wondering if you could post this message for me in your blog since its Ballin and what not. Feel free to provide one of your well written forwards or even prologue.
Hi all,
I'm an intern at StoptheDrugWar. org and in the process of organizing volunteers for StoptheDrugWar. org, NORML, and Students for Sensible Drug Policy at Seattle Hempfest this weekend. We are looking for people willing to scatter across the crowd of 100,000+ like-minded individuals to gather names for the respective e-mail lists. We are hoping to have as many people as possible on Saturday and Sunday between the peak hours of noon til 6 PM. If anyone thinks they would be able to donate a couple of to such worthy causes feel free to shoot me an e-mail at Devine@drcnet.org and I can fill you in on the logistics. Ofcoarse if you know anyone going to Hempfest that might be able to volunteer pass the word along.
Thanks for your time!!
