\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Inspired<\/a> by a scene from Return Of The Jedi<\/em><\/a> in which Han Solo is frozen in carbonite<\/a> in Jabba’s lair, this poster announces a new round of cannabis legalization protest<\/a> in Washington, DC and the White House on September 24, and calls on the DEA to “release the #Choom” — to deschedule cannabis and free all prisoners being held for marijuana “crimes”.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, there’s a lot of discontent boiling in the cannabis activist community about the DEA dragging its feet<\/a> and stringing everybody along for months before finally blowing us off<\/a> and refusing to remove cannabis from its “Schedule 1” list,<\/a> alongside heroin. Much of the criticism is also directed at President Sparkle Pony,<\/a> who claimed he would let science dictate policy<\/a> and not politics, but has consistently chosen to support the failed Drug War policies which have their roots in the Nixon Administration<\/a>. (The joke going around the DCMJ office is that the DEA has Obama “frozen, like Han Solo”; the term “choom” refers to Obama’s weed-smoking posse from school, nicknamed the “Choom Gang”.)<\/a><\/p>\n
