America was formed on the basis of the voice of the people, not the voice of those who falsely represent us. the drug war isn't "contraversial", it was contraversial when we didn't know anything about pot. now we do, we know it's not harmful, it's beneficial in more ways than i can remember. the drug war, it's a mockery of what we supposedly represent as a nation. the politicians in this country put themselves before us, the exact attitude that this country was formed to diminish.

When you think about how many jobs would be lost and how much less money our U.S. govt. would have to piss away should common sense prevail concerning the healing herb it is no shock that they would seek to do the opposite and get even more $ $ $ out of it by locking up more non violent citizens and seizing all their property to boot. Their real priorities disgust me as those dollars come at the expense of ruining so many lives needlessly and turning their backs on basic compassion for the rest of us. I hope they enjoy their liver, kidney, heart, and vast assortment of other problems stemming from the booze and big pharm they lap up like dogs on a summer day.

You'd think with all the drug use in America, we'd be happier than any other country. I guess freedom makes a big difference!

America is ALL about incarceration, and not rehabilitation. Prohibit what they want, tax what they're allowed. Pharmacueticals, Fossil Fuel companies, Cotton, Prisons, DEA, and many more PROFIT by prohibiting Cannabis. It has nothing to do with how dangerous or habit forming it is.
