Power To The People: The Story Of John Sinclair

Nothing like a happy story to start off your Saturday. If you are as young as me, you might not know about how John Sinclair was jailed for almost ten years and subsequently freed. This is a story of how the people (and a few celebrity-musicians) came out of their houses and got together to show the powers that ridiculous drug laws are unfair and should not be used to persecute activists like John Sinclair.

Three days after a rally of 15,000 people coalesced to have him relieved of his sentence, he was freed.
