Bob Newland wanted medical weed,

I have a long history of protest limericks, even if none have shown up in my Deviantart up to this point.
On July 6 Bob Newland, 60, advocate for "South Dakotans for Safe Access" was sentenced to 6 weeks jailtime and his right to speak on behalf of cannabis policy reform was suspended for 1 year. Luckily, this silencing order will probably draw more media attention than it would have otherwise. [link] |

 reports, 1d 5h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
