We are five medical cannabis users, dedicated to ending the War on Drugs. We as a group collectively recognize that the militarization of this medical issue and the criminalization of the chronically sick, terminally ill and chemically dependent has resulted in the needless loss of human life, and that this is the true crime.\r\n\r\nWe create and promote social justice journalism and the 2002 Cannabis Culture Toker's Bowl Drug War Vigil Film Festival was one such example. We are proud to announce the 2nd Annual Drug War Vigil Film Festival to be hosted again in May 2003. Our group is honored to be affiliated with this world-class event and thank Marc Emery for his extraordinary activism in action in support of this event.\r\n\r\nSend us your films of 30 mins or less on any topic related to cannabis, drugs and the drug war. Submitted only in plain old VHS tape or Hi-8 or digital 8.\r\n\r\nThe films will be screened and judged by participants at the Cannabis Culture Toker's Bowl May 1-4 2003, in Vancouver, BC.\r\n\r\nThe film chosen for first place will receive a Grand Prize of $2000 US. Cash prizes totalling $2700 US will be awarded for the top four runner-up films. Other runners-up shown on pot-tv.net will receive honorariums of up to $250.00 US.\r\n\r\nYou must register your film for entry by March 14, 2003 to be eligible.
