i went to court for possession of less then one ounce of mj today. (la county)

before i can enter a plea, they offered me a deal.

i took it.
to have the case dismissed, i have to go to 16 na (narcotics anonymous) meetings and return to court in march with proof of my goings.

yes, they still give tickets to marijuana users.
and no, i have yet to get my medicinal card.

My message to Obama via change.gov:

End the legacy of the NEFARIOUS President Richard M Nixon;

=======================
END THE WAR ON DRUGS
=======================

MARIJUANA, in particular.

No need for any more costly studies by the gov’t — they’ve already been done. It’s just that they were cast aside because they did not conform with political agendas. Just google keywords “Shafer Commission” to find out more.

Our incoming president can save BILLIONS of [BORROWED, mind you] dollars and redirect law-enforcement priorities to more beneficial and effective areas by simply implementing the recommendations of the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse. 37 years late is better than never.

Thank you.

Truly understand your rant Vote like a Beast.
Since the 70’s I’ve been striving to get cannabis legalized, and …. it has gone no where.

There are a great number of individual sites out there in favor of decriminalization and legalization. It really is time for all the various sites to come together as one and make a difference.

Real reform means regulating Marijuana exactly the same as alcohol. Nothing more nothing less. Logically if the authorities really wanted people to stop growing marijuana they would legalize hemp, the cross polinization would ruin outdoor high THC marijuana. By the same logic if the authorities REALLY wanted people to stop smoking marijuana the would decriminalize it. Under nationwide decriminalization you would still be denied employment, financial and student aid, organ transplant, health care, professional license, any recourse to due process in court, etc… because you tested positive for marijauna, going to jail would be the least of your problems.
The NRA and AARP know how to use their memberships at the ballot box, They don’t compromise thier position OR vote for anyone who does. That’s why politicians cower before them. NORML people beg, plead, make logical arguments, appeal to compassion for dying people, offer to meet the drug warriors half way with decrim, and when NORML people are told NO they ACCEPT IT. and vote for said drug warrior anyway.
Sorry to keep making the same points over and over, but I’m so tired of visiting sights like this and reading the same logical arguments ( “If we dercimed the police could arrest and Jail real criminals”, If it was legal we could tax it and pave the streets with gold”. VOTES VOTES VOTES say it again VOTES VOTES VOTES. Pledge that from now on to withhold your vote from any politician who does promise IN WRITING to fully legalize Marijuana. It’s the ONLY WAY.
