So we fully support the Boycott of Kellogg’s in the name of our right to stay lifted!!!

The Times Online Reports:

The decision of Kellogg’s to cancel their endorsement deal with Phelps has produced a wave of anger, with pro-cannabis campaigners taking the lead in urging a boycott over the company’s “hypocritical and disgusting” action.

Several mainstream newspapers including the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal have also published opinion columns questioning the rationale and effectiveness of America’s cannabis laws.

“Kellogg’s had no problem signing up Phelps when he had a conviction for drunk driving, an illegal act that could actually have killed someone,” said Rob Kampia, the executive director of Marijuana Policy Project.

“To drop him for choosing to relax with a substance that is safer than beer is an outrage, and it sends a dangerous message to young people.”

His group has set up an online petition against Kellogg’s, calling for Phelps to be reinstated and US drugs laws to be liberalized. So far it has attracted 2,300 signatures

The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, Students for Sensible Drug Policy and the Drug Policy Alliance, have also urged a boycott of Kellogg’s products.

“It’s not just that Michael Phelps did what millions of other twenty-somethings do. It’s that he did what over one hundred million Americans have done at least once in their lives, including the President, former Presidents, members of the US Congress and Supreme Court,” said Ethan Nadelmann, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance.

On the Huffington Post website, blogger Lee Stranahan composed a draft petition to Kellogg’s which read: “We believe that most people over the age of 12 would not eat Kellogg’s products were they not wicked high… Given all these facts and the total disregard for your customer base … we the undersigned plan to BOYCOTT your products. And we’re serious. Even though the Pop Tarts thing will be HARD.”
