After years of preparation and court battles we are ready to enter a new phase of activism. The International Hempology 101 Society and the University of Victoria Hempology 101 Club are proud to present a full year of Hempology 101 lectures at the University of Victoria starting on Sept 13. This lecture series will feature experts from the cannabis industry and professors from the university providing current information about cannabis and prohibition to students and members of the public for free. The Hempology 101 Club at U of Vic is the largest student club on campus, with over 300 members, with the weekly 420 meetings attracting about 100 people every week.

Last year was the 10th year of the Hempology 101 Club.These lectures will be video taped and made available on hempology.com. We will post the classes at the relevant sections of the textbook for Hempology 101. Over the next year the textbook will be updated and hopefully will be ready to go to print by spring next year. Then we plan upon holding classes at Simon Fraser University on Mondays, UBC on Tuesday and U of Vic on Wednesdays. This will allow us to record 3 lectures a week during the school year to add to the webpage as we record the living history of the movement.
Our goal is to legalize cannabis by educating the public about the history, uses and legal status of the herb. We host an annual convention at the University of Victoria, hold weekly meetings downtown, publish this newsletter, maintain hempology.com and hold other events towards this end. We call it participatory education in constant passive civil disobedience.

Victoria, B.C.: For the first time ever, a free lecture series is being offered at the University of Victoria by the UVSS Hempology 101 Club. The class will start at 3:30 every Weds in Room #062 of the Elliot Building and will end just after 4 pm so that everyone can get to the 420. The classes are free and open to the public.

These classes will be taught by activist/author, Leon ‘Ted’ Smith, with some support from special guest speakers. Ted is the president of the International Hempology 101 Society and has hosted over 1,000 rallies and meetings in over 11 years of activism. In Jan 1996, Ted founded the first compassion club in Canada, the Cannabis Buyers Clubs of Canada. The CBC of C is now the second largest medical club in the country, with over 1,900 members, and all staff have been acquitted from charges laid during 4 police raids on the store. Ted has also been convicted for sharing a handful of joints on the university campus in Nov 2000 and for a cookie giveaway that occurred the same month.

The lecture series will be based upon the Hempology 101 Textbook that Ted wrote, which is available on-line at hempology.com and will hopefully be available for sale in stores next year. A broad range of subjects will be discussed, from the history of prohibition to the current hemp industry. For each class a prepare handout will highlight reference materials that students can use for research.

Last year the UVSS Hempology 101 Club was the largest student club on campus, with over 300 members. This years annual cannabis convention will happen on Feb 11, 2007, somewhere on campus.

WOW, On this, the first day of school, lol, we had a great turn out.
The sign up table, in front of student building, was always busy.
As we headed over to get class ready, we knew there was going to be a lot attending.
So the energy and spirit seem to increase. Kinda like your first day to kindergarten.
LOL. As people filed in to class, we were trying to get internet running, as excited potheads we forgot one cable. We are sorry about this, for the ones who tuned in for the webcast portion of our program. Next week we will have that all straightened out.

Ted starts the class, with very good information and he also had some good questions put his way. Those questions allowed Ted to expand on his knowledge even more.
Class started at 3:30pm and was done at 4:pm. Then the rush was on, to clean up, get out to the circle for 420. As we built the circle, 4:20pm approached, and the head count was done.

We had 142 people come to Hempology a great start for the first day of school, ending with a huge 420, with more and more people stopping to sign up for Hempology.

Looks like next week, the classes be even bigger. All and all, this was a great time, perfect for education, not too long or short. Hopefully the next class, next week will be webcast.
