Every community in America has a "WEEDMAN",
they
are a valuable part of the cannabis consuming communities of America.
There is nothing the Government can ever do that will rid "US" from
these communities because "we the people" want us. We provide a
service. We willingly provide the Ganja to the people. The Government
miserably fails at trying
to prevent "we the people"
from using this sacrament of "GOD". If the Government is waging a WAR,
than we the "Weedmen of America" are the backbone of the pothead
people's
army. The
Marijuana Insurgency. The
Government will never
win it's War on Drugs" because the "weedmen of America" refuse to
submit. F-the law, we smoke it and provide it anyway. Most
of us are quiet but besides being cute, handsome, suave and devanaire;
I'm a little vain. I openly claim the entire State of
New Jersey.

  This
is my personal
home page this site is huge. Over the years I've changed the home page
a
few times and I have hundreds
of individual pages to link to, all intertwined. I started
this
in 1997 immediately after I was arrested for the first time (Nov. 24th, 1997) and I
never
delete anything. I can look back and read the differences in my
writing. I'm angry now, I was scared then. I was different in 1997 I
even looked different.
I think I can write better now then I did in the beginning but I wrote
way more than; than now. What I think now probably shouldn't be written
anyway. I've become the angry black guy. I still don't use spell check
like I
should, but I also don't claim to be a writer even thou I'm writing a
book now. This entire site is my
blog. This site is very important to me. I was jailed for 5 months for
having it. Really true story. This
web site was listed as one of the reasons the State of New Jersey
jailed
me on August 19th, 2002. The other reason was I made 3 anti drug war
political ad's. I stayed jailed until Jan 24th, 2003 - I was a "Political
Prisoner of America's Pot Wars. Since
1997 I've
become a internet counter-culture celebrity because I voice my opinions
and opposition to our nations drug policies
on
the internet. I simply exercise my "Free Speech" rights. I openly
advocate Jury
Nullification as a means to end "the war on drugs". I am a political dissent
a enemy of the state. As a publicity stunt in 2002 I petitioned to change my
name legally to NJWEEDMAN.COM. To my surprise for two years the
State of New Jersey fought this in court, ultimately I was denied the
right to change my own name. While legally I lost the court case
to
change my name, the publicity stunt was a success. I'm publicly known
as the NJWEEDMAN.
Most people really don't know my name real name, but they know I
champion the call for legalization. Basically all I say is "legalize marijuana". At the time
of my 1997 arrest I lived in New Jersey as I had my
whole life except for school and the military. I had a family, two
car's, a house a business, money and
a lot of self respect. The car's are gone, the money is gone, the house
is gone, and I've divorced twice since then. Some of the self respect
and arrogant
swagger are gone too. I'm different and I live in California
now providing
marijuana legally. Something that just talking about gets you
arrested for in New Jersey.
I
don't consider my being in California a permanent situation. I think of
it
as living in political exile temporarily. Just as political dissidents
from other countries,
seek political asylum in other countries when they fear for their lives
or
rights by their home countries. Although I have truth and righteousness
on my side. I too have
fled the tyrants of my home State of New Jersey and have sought
political exile in the marijuana friendly State of California. The
Politics Pot can be dangerous. I don't
want to end up dead
right, as other marijuana activist such as Les Crane,
Tom Crosslin
and Ken Gorman have. I think of our nations "war on drugs" as a massive human rights policy disaster. I believe our marijuana laws are based on 15th century christian beliefs that the use of (marijuana) psychedelics are some how sinful or wrong. I'm not a Christian, don't believe that and openly say, "why should I have to follow some-one else's superstitions". Don't we have "Freedom of Religion" in this country? The marijuana laws are based on flat out lies and Christian inspired distortions. I openly exercise the rights I was told since a kid all americans have. I exercise(s) my Right to Free Speech and Religion and publicly prosyeltize about my faith belief's and practices. I publicly tell the truth about marijuana. As a result I'm more afraid of being murdered by a New Jersey State Police officer, than any member of Al Qaida. This site chronicles what happened to me, for telling the truth about marijuana.  I've resisted
other laws unconstitutional laws as well,
for instance I was charged and indicted for refusing to provide the
State of New Jersey a sample of my THC enhanced DNA. In 2003 I received a
order from the NJ Attorney General's Office, and the Governors Office ordering me to surrender my
DNA. Instead I wrote a letter to the Governor
and the NJ Attorney General with an attached picture of my ass telling
them the
only way they could get my DNA was to "kiss my ass and retrieve
the DNA off your lips". I was quickly indicted and threatened with
imprisonment. I won that case FORCHION
vs NEW JERSEY, DNA, and never surrendered my DNA. (Althought I'm sure the State has illegally collected my DNA off my legal paperwork). If
anyone had told me in 1995 that in the future I'd be publicly called
the
NJweedman, running for political offices under the Legalize Marijuana
Party! I'd have quit
smoking weed!
Shit I even ran for Governor, U.S. Senate and
various other local state/county offices. I didn't think I'd win, it
was my way of giving
the finger to the system. Equally, I never thought
I'd ever go to prison either and now I have served in America's new age
plantation system. ( 17 months in River front State Prison,
Camden NJ ). I wasn't the type of guy who
even got arrested, now I've been arrested dozens of times. Mainly for
saying, Legalize marijuana. I've always thought of myself as
patriotic too. I've served in the U.S. military, I've also
served in our nations prison system for openly opposing the Governments
drug war policies. Never would I have
thought in America could people get arrested or imprisoned for what
they say, yet that has happened to me a couple of times. 0n August
19th, 2002 I was jailed by bigoted state officials for 5
months for having this site and making pro marijuana commercials. At
the time I considered myself a
"Political
Prisoner of America's War on Potheads". Imagine that here in
America
jailed for saying, "Legalize marijuana". Luckily for me, I knew
about Writs of Habeas Corpus and filed a pro se writ.
 John
Saykanic and the NJ
Aclu filed Amicas briefs and argued for my release.
On Jan 24th, U.S district Court Judge Irenas ordered the State of New
Jersey to release me with this ruling .....
 "The
First Amendment exists so as to promote debate on issues of public
importance. In this case, the advocacy of the legalization of marijuana
is a legitimate political position in this country. The Libertarian
Party, whose presidential candidate received over 380,000 votes in the
2000 election, advocates the legalization of drugs. Libertarian Party
web site at "http://www.lp.org/issues/relegalize.html and http://www.lp.org/campaigns/pres/. Many elected public officials have
called for a liberalization of the nation's drug laws. Simply put,
Plaintiff's place in this debate will do nothing to harm a public that
is already itself debating the current state of our nation's drug laws.
" FORCHION
Vs NEW JERSEY
censorship,  As a Black man I see the
world through the spectacles of my community. I
believe the "War on Drugs" is a lasting vestige of the jim Crow era
as well. I call the "war
on drugs' racist. I exercise my Right to freedom of speech and
speak out against a policy that affects people like me - Blackmen. The
white bigots on the bench in New Jersey don't like it and have punished
me for it by taking my child. Even Judge Irenas
commented that : "Today, there are
132,000 in federal prisons and 60% of this increase is for drug
convictions. African Americans comprise a majority of the drug
offenders in federal prisons," Irenas stated. "America has more
persons in prison today than South Africa at the height of apartheid
and Russia during the height of communism under Stalin," Irenas
said, also listing a number of political leaders who advocate changes
in drug laws. Criticism of drug laws by federal judges is well known in
legal circles and widely posted online yet is rarely publicized on
network television and in mainstream media sources accessed by the
majority of the American public. Very few African Americans step
forward and openly criticize our nation's Drug War Policies that have
effectively returned more African Americans to bondage than were freed
at the end of slavery. In this, the Weedman is unique. Our so called
leaders at the NAACP
have failed the disporia by accepting these Jim Crow laws as "drug
policy".After you've
digested that read this:
