토마스 크리스토퍼 라이트(Thomas Christopher Wright, 1957년 10월 14일 출생)는 미국의 사업가, 대마초 권리 및 자유 발언 활동가로 공직에 자주 출마하는 인물이다.1986년 풀뿌리당을 공동 창당했던 라이트는 미네소타 주 블루밍턴에 컴퓨터 수리점을 갖고 있다.[1][2][3][4][5]

활동주의

크리스 라이트는 1987년부터 2013년까지 매년 9월 미네소타 주 의사당 계단에서 열리는 대마초 권리 집회인 미네소타 티 파티를 조직했다.[6]

1992년 라이트가 미네소타주 오길비 인근 사설 야영장에서 열기로 했던 정치 집회 및 음악 축제인 '풀뿌리 모임'이 지난해 위스콘신주 위드스톡 축제에서 보고된 사건을 이유로 당국에 의해 취소됐다.[7][8]

라이트는 1996년 미니애폴리스에 있는 자신의 집에서 41개의 대마초를 재배한 혐의로 체포되었다.그는 유죄 판결에 항소하여 패소했다.라이트는 미네소타 헌법 13조 7항에 따라 어떤 사람도 면허를 취득하지 않고 자신이 점유한 농장이나 정원의 제품을 판매할 수 있다고 주장했다.미네소타 항소법원은 이전에 제정된 제품 라벨링과 다른 제한사항이 대마초를 금지할 수 있는 경찰 권한을 부여했다고 판단했다.[9][10][11][12]

라이트는 1988년 풀뿌리 후보로 미네소타 제5의회 의원 선거구에 미국 대표로 출마했다.1998년, 라이트는 미네소타 주지사 후보로 풀뿌리당으로부터 지지를 받았다.그는 1,727표를 얻었다.2010년 미네소타 주지사 선거에서 라이트는 풀뿌리 후보로 7,516표를 얻었다.2014년에 라이트는 풀뿌리인 대마초 합법화 후보로서 주지사에게 31,259표를 얻었다.[13][14][15][16]

라이트는 2018년 미국 미네소타 주지사에 풀뿌리인 대마초 정당 후보로 출마해 달라는 청원에 의해 지명되었다.라이트는 약물을 합법화하는 것 외에도 수소를 연료로 사용하는 것을 장려한다.[2][9][17]

For 25 years, Wright has fought to loosen the state's marijuana laws. "As a candidate that supports the legalization of marijuana and an end to the drug war, if elected, I have the best chance of raising revenue without raising taxes or cutting spending," Wright said. "Instead of insisting on gangster distribution and the subsidizing of criminals, like my reprehensible opponents, I intend to regulate distribution and tax substances, just like liquor." Wright also promotes using hydrogen as a fuel.

With or without the blessings of the St. Paul police, the Grassroots Party says it is prepared to hold a block party and march Sept. 16 in the name of legalizing marijuana. So far, event organizer and party chairman Chris Wright said he has been unable to get the proper city permits for the "14th Annual Minnesota Tea Party" because he has refused to comply with police requests to hire as many as five off-duty officers. "Last year, there were two and that was sufficient," Wright said. "They're putting up some unreasonable free-speech roadblocks," Wright said. "Frankly, we're not going to pay for it (additional officers) and we're going to march. There's no reason we should observe such an unconstitutional infringement on our free speech."
  7. ^ Doyle, Pat (May 16, 1992). "Judge blocks large Grassroots fest near Ogilvie". Star Tribune. Wright is running as a member of the Grassroots Party against Democratic U.S. Rep. Martin Sabo. Wright said the festival is intended to raise money for party candidates, and he accused authorities of blocking it to prevent speeches favoring legalization of marijuana. "Their main worry is that the message about the usefulness of hemp is really coming out, and they want to quash that," he said. "Hogwash," Thompson retorted. "I think Mr. Wright's impact on thinking will be something less than a mosquito bite on a giant's arm." Slattengren said the Minnesota event was intended primarily as a rock concert, not a political rally. The flier makes no explicit reference to politics. The judge described the scheduled gathering as a sequel to Weedstock and a similar Wisconsin festival called Hempstock, held on Labor Day.

Fearing a repeat of Weedstock '91, a judge has nixed plans for a Memorial Day weekend festival that promised live music by the Incredible Smoking Bongs. Kanabec County District Court Judge Linn Slattengren issued an injunction Friday blocking the festival, saying that organizers failed to obtain a county permit and that the expected gathering of more than 1,000 people posed a safety hazard. The festival had been planned for May 22–25 on a 12-acre private campground near Ogilvie in east-central Minnesota. It was organized by Chris Wright, a member of the Minnesota Grassroots Party, which advocates legalization of marijuana and other drugs.

Chris Wright, who announced his candidacy for governor at the rally, dissented from the popular support of these bills, saying that they don't comply with Article 13 Section 7 of Minnesota's constitution. Wright's reasons are that passing a constitutional amendment would make it difficult to challenge in court and cheat Minnesota farmers of revenue. Article 13 Section 7 states, "any person may sell or peddle the products of the farm or garden occupied and cultivated by him without obtaining a license therefor."

Archived from the original on December 21, 2004. Retrieved June 19, 2017. The statute prohibiting the sale of marijuana is a valid exercise of the state's police powers. As such, the statute is constitutional notwithstanding a special-purpose constitutional provision allowing farmers to sell farm products without obtaining a license.{{cite web}}: CS1 maint : 위치(링크)
  11. ^ "Right to peddle produce doesn't include pot, court rules". Star Tribune. Associated Press. December 23, 1998. Wright based his appeal on a section of the Constitution that says, "Any person may sell or peddle the products of the farm or garden occupied and cultivated by him without obtaining a license therefore." But the Appeals Court said the state law prohibiting the sale of marijuana is constitutional despite that provision. The judges noted that the state Supreme Court has previously upheld Minnesota's marijuana laws as a valid exercise of the state's police powers. The appeals panel said that there isn't much case law on the meaning of the constitutional language on selling farm and garden products, but that cases from 1909 and 1925 suggest that it grants a privilege rather than a fundamental liberty. State law contains "numerous reasonable restrictions" on the way farm products enter the market, such as prohibitions on the sale of unwholesome, misbranded or adulterated food, the judges said.
  12. ^ "Court upholds state's marijuana laws". St. Paul Pioneer Press. Associated Press. December 23, 1998. A line in the Minnesota Constitution about a person's right to sell products from his farm or garden without a license doesn't protect a man who sold marijuana, the state Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday. A three-judge appeals panel let stand the conviction of Thomas Wright, who was arrested after police found more than 11 pounds of marijuana, including 41 live plants, during a search of his home in Minneapolis in 1996.
