The word is out. May 1st, 1970 is the day for the First Annual Marijuana Mail-In and Cross Country Toke-Down. Dealers and heads all over the U.S. are already madly rolling joints and stuffing envelopes in preparation for the big occasion…
MAY DAY IS CALLED LAW DAY HERE IN THE U.S.A. and every dope smoker will be doing his or her part on that day to change the marijuana laws that are being used by the government, police, and courts of Amerika in an attempt to destroy our rapidly growing culture. Over 200,000 of our brothers and sisters are already rotting in jail for so-called “marijuana crimes.” White Panther John Sinclair is doing 10 years for possession of 2 joints, brother Tim Leary has received sentences totaling 20 years for one joint. On May 1st, we, the 20-million or more dope smokers in this country, will serve notice on the pig power structure that THIS CULTURAL GENOCIDE MUST BE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY!!!
On May Day all Amerikans who have not yet turned on to the truth of grass will get their chance. Dope smokers will mail joints—with letters of explanation on how to get high on this ILLEGAL substance—to every non-smoker. Every policeman, mayor, senator, housewife, factory worker, and businessman will finally learn how to start the day right: with a little bit of reefer.
Through the last week of April every head will send some grass to at least a few straight members of his community. Dope dealers will roll up at least one pound of weed each, tear random pages out of telephone books, and mail joints to every listed name.
Come historic May Day, 1970, pigs will find it impossible to bust thousands of dopers that will gather under the warm spring sun in every park and square of every city and town to share food, music, bodies, and marijuana. The U.S.A. will come together in psychedelic harmony at last. Amerika will break out in one huge smile as everyone will be stoned, high, fucked up, jacked out of shape, mellow, blasted.
The Marijuana Question will be answered May 1st!!!
MAY 1
A JOINT IN EVERY MAILBOX
POT IN EVERY PUBLIC PLACE
