Given recently-passed laws in various states, marijuana prohibition appears headed for the same fate as alcohol Prohibition decades ago. Other drug prohibitions, however, maintain strong popular support both in the United States and abroad. These prohibitions continue despite their many consequences. There are also implications for law enforcement relating to conflicts between state and federal law. As the national conversation on drug policy enters a new level of political significance, what are the actual issues at hand?

Join the Activists with heart as we reach out in solidarity to those in Prison for a plant. We make it easy!
All you have to do is draft an email to one or more prisoners and we will print and mail it the same day!
This does not need to be a novel but just a paragraph or two sharing a bit of your life with someone living in a dark gray place for a plant!
These letters are the only source of light that our brothers and sisters in custody experience other than tidbits from other family members.
We’re not asking for money or anything other than a spot of kindness and a few minutes of your time.
Thank you in advance for your kindness.
For information regarding prisoners and their locations, please visit www.the-human-solution.org
Please send letters to Mail@willowcreeksprings.net and we’ll get them where they need to go
**Please note: This event is monthly on 21st of the month and will be forever
