Drug Reform Resolutions for the Texas Democratic Party Platform

[cannabis_flower]

I am attending a meeting in a few minutes that will be drafting resolutions to try to get passed at the Texas Democratic Party Convention. Anyone have any suggestions on resolutions. We got a medical marijuana resolution passed last year so me may want to see if we can go for a little more and include some other drug policy resolutions also.

Suggestions?

The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT, but there is NO ROOM for those
who advance the agenda of THE RICH (Corporate Owners) at the EXPENSE of LABOR and the POOR.

In EVERY case, "Barriers to Trade" and "Restrictions on Corporations" were created to protect something valuable!

1. Harm reduction

Harm reduction under a health care model is the alternative to the failure of the criminal justice model that has eroded our rights and ushered in the police state.

I would read up on the Vancouver Plan- http://cannabisculture.com/articles/4573.html

There is a similar plan drawn up by lawyers? concerning the drug policies of the state of Washington that is a little over a year old I believe. But if you are serious about change I would contact the people at L.E.A.P. and get some speakers and advice- http://www.leap.cc/
