		<description>We can only hope. By being assertive we bring hope closer to reality.  It would be great for Barak to cut us  puffers a break and we as responsible smokers have to earn that break.  We earn that break by enforcing amongst ourselves an honorship of good smoking practices.  Things like not selling to teenagers, no use operating heavy equipment or driving, certainly no public use unless your on the golf course.  things like this have to help to some extent.  I am all for the Million Puffers March. If this was done quietly we could all just meet somewhere on a certain day with a voice so loud it would be heard from coast to coast.

		<description>Take all the prisons, turn them into housing for the homeless. Use them for the emergency relief disaster programs. Use them as a secure facility for those who feel threatened by abusers. Free to come and go, facilitated by the non-violent criminals that are legitimately housed there. Civil-maids, cooks, health-agents, education facilitators, janitors, whatever...

We still need the DEA to remove individuals using illicit growing and sales methods in the future. That will never go away, but now it will be in a manageable quantity.

Continue to educate, facts, and show parents how to be parents. (Now that kids won&#039;t feel compelled to hide their criminal actions.)

Turn it into aspirin, and it will only have a party-appeal, and not a daily-appeal to teens. &quot;Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.&quot;

It will still be the number one used teen recreation. That is a good thing. The alternative is abuse of cigarettes, which is a daily event, and beer/alcohol which will ultimately cause them to potentially kill someone in the future as an abuser, or while drunk driving. I would rather they used something that can be stopped, moderated, and is not desirable to do all day, every day. (Which cigarettes and alcohol is, in most cases.)</description>

		<description>Continue to push the issue. It is an issue in the public light, under heavy scrutiny, and one deserving justice.

Medical, Mediclinical, Medicinal, Regulated, Reformed, and Enforced as a legal controlled substance.

Prostitution was once illegal, now we have a bunny-ranch. Alcohol was once illegal, now it can be purchased at every street corner. It should be illegal for the federal government to regulate things which are not a direct harm to the government. Just as it should be illegal for states to regulate things which are not a direct harm to the state, or citizens. Proven harm, without a doubt, and repeatable with full disclosure, tried before civilians and presented by officials.

There is too much abuse of power.

There needs to be one civilian testing facility, for every government testing facility, for true double-blind testing that is uncensored, and not tampered with.

Anything the government says, as advertisement/propaganda, should be approved by random civilians, and not allowed if the message is deceptive, unclear, false, or without possibility to prove or disprove the content of the message. They are making us look bad, and stupid. Those are not our words, not our thoughts, not our ads. But we pay for it in taxes, and in the lives we live, after they ruin them.

Go to every blog, website, newspaper, TV station, radio station, whatever... and voice as many facts as you can. Point back to the sites that provided that info, or simply type one phrase...

&quot;What do you know about marijuana? Is it fact or child-protection propaganda? Grow-up, learn the truth. Google it!&quot;</description>

		<description>Anybody else notice that two of the three anti-prohibition related ideas on change.gov have mysteriously disappeared? They have consistently been in the top 10 to top 15 every day I have checked.

The end the drug war-idea and the decriminalize hemp/marijuana-idea are gone. At least the top one is still there: &quot;Legalize the Medicinal and Recreational Use of Marijuana&quot;</description>
