Letter in WI State Journal: Another reason for peaceful block party
Posted by Gary Storck
Thursday, May 7, 2009
Here's a letter I wrote that was published in today's WI State Journal. The reception our march received once we turned the corner on to Mifflin St. was incredible and the cheering only got louder as we proceeded onward. Partygoers lined up to be photographed with our marchers and our banners. We were the bright shiny thing emanating good vibes. In the words of the Gov. of California and new supporter of Cannabis Legalization, Arnold Schwarzenegger, "We'll be back in 2010, Mifflin!"

ANOTHER REASON FOR PEACEFUL BLOCK PARTY
Sunday's article about the Mifflin Street Block Party should have been titled "Pot paraders pacify partiers."Alcohol, the legal drug of choice for Mifflin partiers, is a depressant. Cannabis produces euphoria. The good vibes given off by the Global Cannabis Marchers stuck around long enough to keep everything much more peaceful and the result was less violence and fewer arrests this year. There's a lesson in there somewhere.
