When no one else was willing to do it right. We took the stand and demanded that they do. That is the legacy of Americans for Cannabis and all that we do.
Let it not be said we just let them take this plant and our rights and give them to a few commercial special interest, let it not be said we didnt stand for the rights of the people and their natural and inherent rights, let it not be said we did nothing, or worse...nothing good!
