Father’s Day “Dear Dad” Video from Marijuana Policy Project urges family conversations about ending marijuana prohibition

Have you told your dad you think marijuana should be legal for adults? The Marijuana Policy Project has set up an easy way for you to start that conversation today at http://www.mpp.org/DearDad

One of the easiest and most effective ways to help end marijuana prohibition is to talk it with your family and friends. Whether you use MPP’s online tools or bring up the issue around the dinner table, we hope you’ll tell those closest to you how you feel about marijuana.

Here is the email I received from The Marijuana Policy Project Director of Communications Mason Tvert:

Just before Mother’s Day, we released a video titled “Dear Mom,” which portrayed a young woman writing a note to her mother to let her know how she feels about marijuana. The goal was to demonstrate how easy it is to start a conversation about the issue with loved ones who might still have qualms about making marijuana legal for adults.

With Father’s Day coming up tomorrow, we’re launching a similar web video, aptly titled “Dear Dad,” which depicts a son starting a conversation about marijuana with his father.

I hope you will take a minute to watch the 30-second “Dear Dad” video, share it with others using the buttons below it.

He explains to his father how they’re a lot alike — they both work hard and have good jobs — but at the end of a long day he prefers to use marijuana instead of having a drink. It is these types of conversations that are going to build the support needed to end marijuana prohibition.

Please check out the short video and then share it with your dad, grandfather, family, or friends and get the conversation started today.

Thanks so much for watching and sharing the video.

Sincerely,

Mason Tvert
