Veteran Marijuana Activist Ed Forchion aka NJWeedman Launches "Get on the CannaBus," A New Instagram Live Series to Highlight His Ongoing Acts of Civil Disobedience and Protest in New Jersey

For over three decades, Ed Forchion aka NJWeedman has fought for the legalization of marijuana. As one of the first Black activists in the movement, dating back to the early 90's, Forchion has spent over 1200 days in prison, fighting for the right to smoke and sell pot. Now, in 2020, with marijuana legalized in the majority of states, Forchion is part of a vocal collective that is fighting against the current legalization policies in his home state of New Jersey. Forchion asserts that new laws are being set to criminalize growers and small vendors like him, while awarding billion-dollar contracts to corporations for the sales, distribution and marketing of the plant. In an effort to mobilize attention to this grave matter, Forchion is launching "Get on the CannaBus with NJWeedman" an Instagram Live series, starting Monday September 7 at 6:00 p.m. ET to 7:00 p.m. ET, to garner awareness and support per his current anti-legalization campaign in New Jersey. "Get on the CannaBus" will also stream live on Instagram and Facebook at @NJWeedman and on the NJWeedMan YouTube channel.
