On March 21st 2019 I will begin openly selling weed like the white guys #sellweedlikeimwhite to protest SB2703’s passage into law. I expect to be arrested…I expect to be prosecuted and I look forward to it. My goal will be to public make a “FARCE & MOCKERY” of this racist scheme.
SWAPPING OUT RACIST PROHIBITION for RACIST LEGALIZATION
For the last 21 years I’ve openly advocated legalization in New Jersey. I always viewed the war on pot as a racist war on people of color and viewed my advocation as a civil rights protest on many levels. Now as legalization arrives..it too is just as racist as the prohibition i spoke out against. – This bill makes me wish i had never risked my freedom to speak out for legalization. I didn’t think 20 years ago I was advocating for rich white men to become legal while the state continued to arrest and prosecute blackmen for the same thing.I was advocating for ALL, especially black/brown men who were being victimed by racist prohibition.
This bill (2703) does nothing for those victimized by the current racist prohibition for providing marijuana to the state’s ½ a million potheads for decades as the state enforced a racist prohibition. Now is swapping that out for racist legalization. This pending law NOW EXCLUDES “US” (US = minorities, current black-marketeers, poor dealers), all of those arrested for Marijuana distribution or for having more than 50grams. None of us are eligible to participate in this newly created Government industry. A marijuana monopoly created with bribery; to make the laws reflect what the cannabaggers want…. “No home grow, no felons, no experienced marijuana dealers”. – I refuse to capitulate or comply.
The White Politicians of the State of New Jersey have been bribed into creating an exclusionary legalization bill SB2703 that is also in violation of federal law it fraudulently purports to “legalize marihuana” for a few rich white “cannabaggers” in New Jersey. Which isn’t so…( Marihuana is always illegal per the federal laws which trump state laws. ) The rest of “us” without the illegal protection of state officials will still get prison time for the exact same thing – “selling/growing /distributing weed in violation of federal law”.
Equally, this is a clear and predictable “dejure discriminatory” law. While I can’t stop it from being enacted, instead of cheering its passage I will begin selling weed openly with the clear and intentional purpose to get arrested and invite prosecution. Hopefully by the sorry ass’s in the Mercer County Prosecutors Office – AGAIN.
With my protest “selling weed like I’m white” I want to make a public “MOCKERY” of this shame legalization scheme of Senator Scutari and Sweeney’s. I want the public spectacle of me a Blackman AGAIN being arrested and prosecuted by white authorities as they line up to make millions doing the same thing I will be prosecuted for ….. (Rosa Parks protested being forced to sit in the back of the bus; my protest is for not being allowed on the canna-BUS.)
For decades blackmen who were the backbone of the black-market in New Jersey has provided EVERYONE in the state with marihuana. Everyone has an illegal Weedman. The Doctors, lawyers, politicians and everyday Joe’s who currently smoke weed all bought it from an illegal WEEDMAN. Besides the 40 thousand medical marijuana patients buying from the States ATC – (Alternative Treatment Centers) everyone else currently and for the last 50 years have bought weed illegally from a WEEDMAN. Now with passage of SB2703 the state’s politicians attempt to steal it for themselves, rename it the “cannabis industry”, exclude those who now provide 100% of the marijuana to the state, continue to outlaw us, continue to punish us with criminal records and we are supposed to do STOP SELLING OUR WARES and PATRONIZE the new WHITE-MARKET.
While I can’t SB2703 from being enacted, instead of cheering its passage I will protest it: – I will begin selling weed openly with the clear and intentional purpose to get arrested and prosecuted. Hopefully by the sorry ass’s in the Mercer County Prosecutors Office – AGAIN.

I ask Gov. Murphy to VETO this Bullshit https://www.njweedman.com/index.php/my-thoughts-blog/496-2703
Besides calling for of these Caucasian Cannabis Corporations #boycottCCC’s I’m openly seeking to make a “mockery of the shitsystem”. The states politicians have decided to create a new white market that doesn’t include the current black-marketeers and I refuse to capitulate or comply. The state is breaking federal law, why should I comply with FAKE state law that pretends to be legal as it violates federal law.
For decades when a NJ women needed a Joint for her menstrual pains she called her Weedman, when someone couldn’t get to sleep they called their Weedman, when someone was in constant pain and needing some relieve they called their Weedman…..instead of punching your neighbor you called the Weedman and smoked a illegal joint and chilled out.
Now Senator Scutari, Senator Sweeney and the Gov. are selling our industry to rich white guys and continuing to illegalize us, my message to these Senators “get 12”. Get 12 jurors, I will not take a plea, I will represent myself and present these laws as unenforceable with a blatant JURY NULLIFICATION verdict. #NJcantget12
The Governors Office issued this statement: Ive responded in RED
Although a final bill continues to be tweaked, here is what the proposal would mean for New Jersey:
I’ve placed this PRESS RELEASE ON THE INTERNET IN VARIOUS PLACES, I’ve (snail) mailed it to all the local Media, numerous state and local politicians and now I invite the press to watch this spectacle on March 21st….I will sell weed like I’m white until I’m arrested, the state also has the option of ignoring me. But I want to I openly advocate to my future jury to engage in JURY NULLIFICATION.
