Journey for justice at the Bulldog cafe

July 1, 2006 Noon

The Journey for justice crew with Kevin Locke made it to the Bulldog cafe in Oaksterdam. The crowd was a bit small but the lack of numbers didn’t curb any enthusiasim. I caught a chance to speak with Kevin Locke and he related several episodes of the long journey that started in North Carolina . (See the flash movie below for a bit of background).

 


Kevin ran into medical problems near the continental divide in Colorado. His team members awoke him and Kevin was mumbling incoherently. He was rushed to an emergency room with severely low blood oxygen level. After 6 hours on oxygen and an IV later Kevin was ready to proceed on. During the Dr. visit Kevin was tested for illegal drugs and all that was found in his system was cannabis. The Dr. couldn’t tell he was a pot smoker or cigarette smoker, a testament to the cardio lung work from all that cycling.

While staying at the campground near Sacramento the operator of the campground saw the banners and went out of his way to mention if he smelled any marijuana he would call the police. Well ten minutes later, pot or no pot, the sheriff shows up for a pot sobriety test. I’ve never heard of one but according to ‘our boys’ it’s a short study to pass with flying colors.

I found a gracious host at the Bulldog café, and I know the journey for Justice team did too. Richard, the proprietor made everyone feel right at home. The Oaksterdam scene was basic legislated out of existence and the businesses there are feeling the pinch. Activists need to support these coffee houses that are friendly to the movement for the extras they bring to the movement. One such event scheduled for Saturday July 15 2:30-4:30 at the Bulldog is a grow class conducted by local growing experts. I’ll be there.

 


Turnout for today’s event was lacking but not absent. It sure would have been nice to get more grass roots support for these guys. One cycling enthusiast I didn’t get to meet was the owner of the BPG on San Pablo in Berkeley. It figures one of the best clubs in the bay area would be the one to show some support. BPG is a club that gets a lot of word of mouth recommendations from patient to patient as far as where to get quality meds and clones.

Weedbay.net is not considered an Oaksterdam ‘insider’ but the guy behind today’s activities is. Known as Scrappy420 in the medical marijuana forums this was my first opportunity to meet someone organizing grass roots support. This guy is extremely generous and is all heart. Kudos to him for the effort. I’ll be hooking up with him later, I just know it.

Weedbay.net is paying a dime per unique vistor and I already owe them about $55
