Smoke Green, Blow White

Kelsey Maniez loves marijuana. A lot.

But don't get too excited, stoners. She doesn't smoke.

Maniez is the founder of Spartans for Medical Marijuana, an organization that you've probably never heard of. But I'll bet you've seen their T-shirts.

You know: they've got a pot leaf silhouetted against a green Spartan "S", and they've been all the rage among hipsters on campus. Yeah, you've seen them.

Spartans for Medical Marijuana have been all over campus lately. They're Facebook group's got 500 members, and they've appeared on the Impact radio show.

"We're trying to be as visible as possible," said Maniez. "People have been shunning this issue for too long and it's time for us to be seen."

Even though medical marijuana is now legal in Michigan, Maniez says there's still work to be done.

"We need to fight injustice beyond state borders," she said. "Michigan is only the beginning."

Did you hear that, potheads? Time to get off the couch and make a difference!
