The Flower contrasts a utopian society that freely farms and consumes a pleasure giving flower with a society where the same flower is illegal and its consumption is prohibited. The animation is a meditation on the social and economic costs of marijuana prohibition.

Why should you give to EMMNEWS?

Despite strong public support for ending marijuana prohibition, EMMNEWS faces an uphill battle. While many Americans recognize the irrationality of marijuana prohibition, not all see it as harmful, and even fewer actually do something about it.

Because of this inaction, the federal government has been free to wage a destructive, wasteful war on marijuana users — at an expense to all of us in tax dollars, privacy, and liberty.

In 2009 alone, more than 858,408 people were arrested for marijuana offenses — and 89% of these were for simple possession. That’s one marijuana arrest every 37 seconds. Every year, there are more marijuana arrests than for all violent crimes combined.

Your non-tax-deductible gift to EMMNEWS will help fund EMMNEWS’s lobbying efforts to change state and federal laws. (Tax-deductible gifts help fund public education.)

With your annual membership contribution of $25 or more, you will receive regular updates on the latest in marijuana policy reform. If you donate $40 or more, you will also receive a DVD and a book.

We are required by federal law to tell you that any donations you make to EMMNEWS may be used for political purposes, such as supporting or opposing candidates for federal office.
