Keystone Cannabis Rally

We’re proud to work with organizer Les Stark to host a large pro-cannabis rally in the State Capitol. More than 500 people have already signed up to attend The Keystone Cannabis Reform Rally on March 31 in the State Capitol building in Harrisburg. The event will emphasize the urgent need for cannabis and hemp reform in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. After the rally, members of Philly and Pittsburgh NORML will be lobbying elected officials – we urge any interested attendees to join us.

Event Details

March 31st, 2014
10:00 AM
State Capitol Building, Harrisburg, PA
Main Rotunda

Speakers will present the case for immediate passage of Senate Bill 1182, the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Act. They will also address the economic and environmental benefits of allowing farmers to grow industrial hemp as well as the necessity of establishing a legal, regulated market for adult consumption of cannabis.

Some of the featured speakers will be:

  • John Hanger – Democratic candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania
  • Ed Rendell – The former Governor of Pennsylvania is preparing a letter to be read in support of reform.
  • State Senator Daylin Leach – Current congressional candidate and sponsor of Senate Bills 528 and 770, and co-sponsor of Senate Bill 1182
  • Josh Stanley – Cannabis expert from Colorado and creator of the Charlotte’s Web strain featured in Sanjay Gupta’s special “Weed”.
  • Lolly Bentch Myers – From Pa. Advocates for MMJ, activist and mother of Anna
  • Les Stark – Hemp Historian/Activist and Author of Hempstone Heritage, a book about the history of the hemp industry in Pennsylvania
  • Erica Lynn – Activist/organizer
  • Dana Ulrich – From Pa. Advocates for MMJ and Legalize For Lorelei
  • Staff Sgt Mike Whiter – 11 year Marine Corps veteran of Kosovo and Iraq; Co-Chairman of PhillyNORML
  • Shawn Patrick House – Hemp entrepreneur and owner of Hempzels
  • Patrick Nightingale, Esq. – Executive Director of PittsburghNORML; Law Enforcement Against Prohibition speaker
  • Roger Ford – CEO for Patriot Bioenergy Corporation based in Kentucky, Kentucky Hemp Growers Co-Op and West Virginia Hemp Growers Co-Op

“Legalization and taxation of marijuana will allow doctors to prescribe medical cannabis, will stop the massive waste of taxes, will generate new tax revenues and will attack the schools to jail pipeline,” said keynote speaker John Hanger.

Former Governor Ed Rendell agrees and calls Hanger’s 3-step plan for reform “brilliant”. State Senator Daylin Leach says, “Prohibition is such a cruel, irrational, destructive policy. It’s support among the public is collapsing. I think it’s an issue where the tide of history has turned and the tipping point has been reached”.

Recent polls done by Quinnipiac University and the Mercyhurst Center for Applied Politics have shown 85% support for medical cannabis and strong support for overall reform.

Organizer and hemp historian Les Stark says, “We will demonstrate that there is a large, respectable, informed movement in this state to reform our laws on cannabis and hemp. Some of us believe in industrial hemp. Others are strictly concerned with medical cannabis. Still others want all around reform that includes the full legalization of cannabis. Each issue can be considered separately on their own merits but united we raise our voices in the call for compassionate reform”.

The rally will begin at 10:00 AM in the Rotunda of the State Capitol building in Harrisburg on Monday, March 31. More information can be found on the Facebook event’s page for the Keystone Cannabis Reform Rally. We hope you’ll join your fellow citizens in this united call for cannabis law reform.

    I suffer from Breast Cancer, which for me, is basically a Death Sentence on my life, the thoughts of having Breast Cancer burns and itches simultaneously in my heart that i was dead alive (and looks hideous). I heard that Hemp Oil could help, and for the price i was willing to try anything that would save my My Life. What I found out was astonishing! It was instantly getting better and better and most of the virus are gone and just little medication left for me. It’s also a light, i am very grateful to Doctor Williams for Selling the Hemp Oil for me and his Medical Advises, for all those that have problems with Cancer Please Please Kindly let the Doctor Know at: williammedicalservice@outlook.com

    I never knew cannabis oil was indeed wonderful and very effective in
    the treatment of cancer “if not by the government and so called rules
    to regulate cannabis dad would still have been alive. Thanks to the
    new policy of legalizing cannabis in my state and have even lost my
    wife’s kidney cancer, and it was really shocked and surprised when I
    see a lot of documentary on how the cannabis oil had helped many
    people to whom His family thought they never could do next undergoing
    several “Chemo” from the department of my heart, and I have to say a
    word of appreciation to Dr. Brown Nelson for timely intervention in
    the lives of my wife suffering from kidney cancer. As I write this
    testimony in this blog my wife is so strong and healthy even though
    you have not completed the total dosage “for cannabis and medical
    consultation opportunity and get in touch with him if you are a cancer
    patient through their email: (cancermedicationcentre@gmail.com) so you
    can lit more details

    Treatment Regine:
    I have a pretty big tolerance for marijuana, so I started off with a
    full grain of rice sized amount of oil instead of a half grain. I
    gradually increased the dosage every night until I reached a full gram
    each night. The standard protocol for Rick Simpson Oil is ingesting a
    total of 60 grams over the course of 2-3 months, but I had 70 grams in
    total for safe measure. I used the excess as a topical skin care
    treatment, attacking the visible brown spots on my face and neck.

    3 months later, my cancer was in full remission. Within 4 months, I am
    cancer-free and officially received a clean bill of health from my
    doctors. What they don’t know is that the majority of my treatment was
    using the Rick Simpson Oil. I did use some of the medication they
    prescribed, but it was in combination with the oil.

    I am elated I want to continue sharing with people who are
    experiencing what I went through that there is absolutely hope and a
    cure out there. They just need to be proactive and aggressive with
    treatment, not wait until it is too late. Get your medication at
    Phoenix Tears via Email: (cancermedicationcentre@gmail.com)

    In addition to being an effective cancer fighter, there are some nice
    side effects that come from using the Rick Simpson oil, for instance,
    I no longer need to take any pain killers. Just one or two drops of
    the oil will ease the pain and help you sleep like a baby. Best of
    all, its natural . . . Thanks to all the staff at Amsterdam’s Garden
    who guided me throughout this journey. You guys are awesome!

    My Mother was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer about a one year ago, she has had an extremely difficult journey. She has had two rounds of chemotherapy, one round or Y90 Radiation and now is experiencing liver failure. Jaundice, a weak appetite and depression are a few of her symptoms. I’m wondered what other treatment options she has (such as a liver transplant or a clinical trial) and also how long she has to live. My mother is my best friend and hero, she endures so much as your loved ones do too.but a cousin of mine came to our rescue by ordering this hemp oil from a foundation in US,and so far the medication has proved effective.now my mother can do things she never could do before,i am so happy so i decided to use this medium to alert all cancer patient that with a good hemp oil,you can definitely beat cancer.if you happen to be in need of this medication,you can contact the foundation with this email:(rickcannabisoil19@gmail.com) for more information and the delivery process.

    Am Antonio Benard i reside in Italy, my wife was suffering from Breast Cancer and the doctor told me that there was nothing that he could do to save my beloved wife. Then a friend told me about the Rick Simpson hemp oil that can cure cancer, i told him that my wife’s breast cancer was in the last stage that i don’t think the hemp oil would cure it and he persuaded me to try it, for the love of my wife, i decided to give it a try.
    I did some research and i found a doctor who helped me with the cannabis oil to cure my wife’s breast cancer and he assured me that after 4 months the cancer would be gone.rickcannabisoil2014@outlook.com
    I bought it and she used it,it worked exactly as the doctor prescribed it. Thanks to doctor Thomas for taking away sorrow in my life. can you all imagine, that my wife have a 6 years old daughter and a 3 years old son, what would i have done..

    My wife was diagnosed with a cancer, ( before i learnt of Rick Simpsons oil / RSO ) the hospital said to do chemotherapy and radiotherapy.. she did.. and went through a lot.. but no cure, after a while the doctors said the cancer was spreading and we could look for alternatives.. i searched the internet and found out about the oil.. asked alot of questions.. watched the videos etc.. we made the oil our selves but it couldn’t just work out we were doing more harm than good and the cancer was still there spreading, i searched more on the internet i found a testimony on how a lady got the oil via an email, i immediately copied the email: phoenixtearsadim@gmail.com, i wrote to this very email and in an hour later i got a reply back asking me some few questions, and enlightened me on how to get the oil in the next 48hours, i placed my order and in the next 48hours the medication oil got to us. immediately my wife started using the oil, it been two months now, since my wife has been using the medication oil and the cancerous problems are gone this very fact was clarified by the doctor.

    i put up this piece of testimony for the sake of those once who need this oil to please don’t die in silence their is a cure for your cancer today email phoenixtearsadim@gmail.com and get the oil.

    This is so great am alive to testify the good work of hemp oil and its miracle healing.

    In April 10th 2016 i was diagnosed of breast cancer and bone cancer when the doctor told me it was already too late for me, that i have only ten months on earth to live. I shared tears and all hope was gone thinking that i will just sleep and go just like that.

    My mom came to visit me in Serbia two months later and bought me some hemp oil product saying that it works well on cancer, ever since she told me about the benefits and encourage me to use the medication. I have been on treatment for the past 4 months now which was the required treatment plan for me.
    Last week, I went to hospital to do my test and to God be the glory my cancer was not found there anymore. I have been cured with Rick Simpson hemp oil which my mother had bought for me.

    My family is forever grateful to Rick Simpson Cannabis Oil.

    Last week my mom gave me his email which i contacted him in person and thank him for the life saving. Below information.
