Many thanks to ALL of you who sent letters of support.

You are the ones that make me continue this mission each and every day.

The more you support me, the louder I get with my message.

I couldn't have EVER done this without you!

I love and respect all of you.

 

As many of you know, the 420 Girls are responsible for bringing us a lot of attention..

This recent attack effects me, in that I now have no more ad revenue from 420times.com to keep me, my employees and our mission alive...

We relied on banner advertising to pay for these services, but now that Bush and his goons have savagely attacked all of the headshops online and continues to close down brick and mortar stores across the country, we have no more revenue left from advertising.

so..

I've turned the 420 Girls into a pay site...

I've been paying $1000.00 a month for over 600 gigs of bandwidth for years...

Giving the 420 Girls to 20,000 visitors a day for FREE....

I asked for donations many times and never got one single dime....

Relied on ad revenue previously, which no longer exists...I have to pay the bills...

The 420 Girls help me draw attention to the Legalization of Hemp & Marijuana.

Sex sells, so I use it as a chariot to deliver my message to the world.

We can hide in the closet forever or we can spread the word and create awareness.

Each 420 Girl gets a chance to create awareness to almost a million people a month.

This is a HUGE step in the legalization process.

The 420 Girls do more for the cause in one day than most people do in their entire life.

Each 420 Girl of the Month also receives a VERY nice prize package valued at over $420.00.

They also receive a link to their website inside the members area, giving them free 420 traffic.

 

We've started to receive some media attention

 

Cannabis Culture Magazine says, "Sizzling new website combines Goddesses with Ganja - Entertaining if not Outright Stimulating!"

http://cannabisculture.com/articles/2872.html

 

Rolling Stone Magazine says "420Girls.Com - Girls Smoking Dope. BEST WEBSITE EVER. EVER."

My heart goes out to Jason and Saeed from Jerome Baker Designs, JP from California Color Changers, Ara from Omnilounge, Shea from Zong and everyone else attacked by these demons. It's not over til the fat lady sings! I hope you guys get together and form the most effective defense against this shit and bring it to the federal level to change these ridiculous laws. I see the potential. PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP! You have my full support, just tell me what to do!

 

I would also like to thank Marc at Consumption Junction for supporting us in this time of need.

There are SO many of you that I want to thank personally and will as I remember, 420 short term memory syndrome takes over sometimes...

 

I thank you for your valuable time and your continued support of 420 Times and our mission to Create Awareness!

 

More to come as it happens...

If you have any questions, comments, news, whatever, bring it on.

If you are considering visiting some of the US sites that were busted then you should read this first. It shouldn't affect us much but the last paragraph is a "must read".

Mr. Ashcroft says customers who want to visit some of their favorite drug paraphernalia websites are in for a big surprise in the days ahead. They will be automatically redirected to the website for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

 

..At another site, can't recall where right now, I've read about this too but the article also told us that the DEA is recording the data from the people that are redirected (their IP address) and is giving it to other US dept. That should be to read somewhere in the gouvernments privacy statement . somewhere on the net that Arsecroft dude was bragging about the "surprise" they wanted to give those visitors. It didn't say what "surprise"

 

F*CK YOU Arsecroft! we outnumber you with millions!( ..yes I know how to spell his name "correctly")
