Revolution has occurred in every major society through out history, from the Romans to the Persians, Mongols, Incas, and at the forefront of every uprising rests a body that has grown beyond the constraints of an inert government bent on tradition or the private agenda of its members. At all times a government should act as a function of the society for which it represents. America today has become the end result of conforming years of societal progression to the ideals that suited the population in previous generations, ideals that now sit as rock against the ever changing torrent of humanity. It is by such a standard that we can say that the government has lost its ability to function properly and rather then act in a manner benefitting the people, it now acts as a beast, greedy and self serving. A beast who's purpose is to secure the future of those at the reins, who stand on the shoulders of the broken, huddled, and tired masses. Politicians need to rethink their role for in the pursuit of their own agenda they're effectively alienating those who once supported and fought for their election. These are the terrorists who seek to destroy the way of life America represents, and in doing so secure their own succession.

With all the new research being done and the diseases it works for its a shame it's not already legal for medical use. Americans want marijauana made legal for medical use.

The government just wants the people to think it does so they can be so crooked as to shit on the American people. This country was founded under the right to be free and our freedom is being tok away. We need to get together as a nation and stand up to the government and put and end to thier lies and stop being so chicken shit and take back our freedom that was once given to us.Are we just going to sit on our asses and let the government try to fuck us any way they can by keeping the legalization of marijuana and raing gas prices or are we going to join together and fight for our freedom. Well I choose to fight. I don’t care if any one joins the fight with me but Im gonna stand up for my freedom.

By this I mean that the sails and ropes for most of the sailing ships of the time were made of HEMP. Hence the term "smoke some rope." How big is our national deficit? 10 Billion dollars. Well ,I can think of a great way to reduce if not pay off this debt. "LEGALIZE MARIJUANA" Then instead of all the drug dealers from forein countries getting our hard earned cash it will remain in U.S.A where we can do some good with it.

Since we are getting this much feedback on this, do you think that the legislators will listen? Only if we keep up the pressure. 107 comments to Allen’s well penned article and the 0 to 5 comments on the blogs surrounding this one speak volumes.
