Spontaneous Public Smoke-Outs!

Let's start a new movement to free cannabis.

In some places around the world, people are getting together spontaneously via text messaging. They get together to do things like have pillow fights.

But what if we started having impromptu gatherings to protest cannabis laws and to party.

People just start gathering in a public area, but keep secret their intent until the appointed hour, when everyone suddenly lights up! You'll overwhelm any cops who might be around, and you'll all have smoked your joints before any reinforcements could arrive, and you're gone by the time they do!

You'd have to start in a major city to get any kind of good response.

Let selected media in on it so the event will get some airplay. Choose only media who will be friendly and won't tipoff the cops.

Make sure you've got an interesting theme to attract people and to make it look interesting when the media cover it. I think a huge spontaneous smokeout in some public area will be good.

Don't forget to bring along your medical marijuana permits, cause I wouldn't want to encourage ANYONE to break the law...

Be sure to have ppl video the event too, so you can post it up on various video sites like YouTube.

That would then bring even more people out to the next event.

Of course this is assuming SOME stoner somewhere actually has a cellphone...

 

How it works...

Whomever takes on the responsibility for selecting the time and venue makes a brief text message like:

SPS! - Today 4:20pm Central Park Band Shell

They send that to their friends via text.

The friends send it to their friends, etc., etc.

BTW, I'm calling this type of event SPS for Spontaneous Public Smoke-out.

So whatcha think? Any takers?

Here's a pic of a massive pillow fight in NYC...

Now imagine them all lighting up!

 

Well to start, everyone with a cellphone needs to setup a group that they can text message all at once. Of course it's gonna be your local friends, and their friends. Once you've got like 100 ppl (not in your group, but in all the connected groups), you should be able to pull off an event even in a small town.

If these kinds of events started popping up all over the country, they'd catch on like wildfire once the national media gets a hold of it!

 

What kind of places would be good to hold an SPS?

Well parks are gonna be fun, but unless it's on a weekend, you might not get much response. Of course, parks might be a good place to test your group before going into a more upfront location.

But I could see spontaneous smoke-outs happening to protest busts, laws, medical mj harrassments, etc. These could take place in front of court houses, legislatures, governor's mansions, etc.

It could also happen in front of dispensaries that are in the process of being busted. I remember in San Diego about 100 ppl showed up to protest the bust of a dispensary, as it was in progress.

Of course on the downside is the new technology that the phone companies have introduced to spy on your text msgs. So they can track down who started a txt msg event if they wanted to. They can also see your group lists.

As long as the events are peaceful you probably won't have any hassles, but I can see where the gov't would tell the phone companies to alert them anytime a text msg goes out to certain groups. No doubt an undercover cop will attempt to join these groups so they can be monitored and disrupted. Typical COINTEL activity.

But in the meantime, if the media takes hold of it, it could be the spark for a national debate on the issue, something VERY OVERDUE!

 

Good point. Goes pretty much without saying tho.
