Serving royalty

THE VANCOUVER Hemp
Alliance is offering a reward to
anyone who can successfully serve
the Queen of England a filed Writ
of Summons and Statement of
Claim.

The lawsuit, filed at the
Courtney courthouse on Aug. 16,
names Her Majesty and others as
defendants against claims of harass-
ment, intimidation, abuse of power,
and conspiracy to injure business.
The Hemp Alliance claims that
police action caused the pro-hemp
Organization to lose money at their
first annual Forbidden Hempfest,
held last May at the Forbidden
Plateau Ski Lodge.

“Anyone who serves the Queen
will receive a Hempfest T-shirt, a
Hemp Alliance hat, and a big
clearcut doobie.” said alliance
founding director Ernie Yacub.
“We want her served personally so
she knows how her police force, the
RCMP, are abusing her subjects
with their civil war and cannabis
hemp prohibition.

“Besides,” he added, ** Elizabeth
probably knows how stupid (mari-
juana) prohibition is. Her great-
great-grandmother, Queen Victoria,
used cannabis hemp for menstrual
cramps, migraine and insomnia.”
The Alliance can be reached by
colling 1-338-9242, {-336-8155 or
1-338-2628.

incident in which they were being
pursued by a swarm of grumpy
English brown bees.

The Times reports that the bees
set up home in a postbox. and post-

been unable to retrieve any letters
from the box. Until the bees depart,
collection services have been sus-
pended.
