Amazing Marijuana Prohibition video says more than any words can!

Thanks to our friends at NORML we bring to you an really amazing video

A few years ago our friends in the battle for Marijuana reform over at NORML (The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) set up a 30 second video contest in support of cannabis legalization. I don’t know the number of videos they received but one stood out so much it’s now on their front page.

Every once in awhile someone or something makes a big impression in your mind, this video did just that to me.

This is really amazing, with no spoken words the creator was able to tell a story better than anyone I have ever heard. The story as I interpret it is this:

A long time ago someone found a flower that had “magical powers”. This flower was able to make people that used it happy, rid their pain and create a thriving economy. Then one day someone of power decided that they didn’t like this flower, and they made it illegal. They rid the world of this great flower. After that, the world went to war. The economy went upside down. People found other more harmful way’s to try to find that “happiness” the flower brought them. This flower became an underground crime commodity and sent many innocent people to jail. Here is this video, it opened my mind. I hope it will open a few of yours…
