The reason why alcohol was truly involved in prohibition is because the government didn’t know exactly how to tax it and how to treat it as a product at the time and the same with marijuana only marijuana has never been written down as cause of death ever since it was first used. Which is really f***ed up how alcohol and other substances such as tobacco are legal and causes tons of deaths each year yet marijuana hasn’t.

The lie actually started in 1900,there was a conflict of interest with the growing drug manufactures.It culminated
with the 1914 laws enacted against hemp.During the war years that followed the US realized that they could not depend on the rope,cloth,and paper products of this beneficial fibrous weed.Still the money of special interests won out.Now there is a chance to reverse this.Focus,facts,and support will replace the darkness that still surrounds marijuana.Reverse,Repeal,and Reinstate this commodity.

You can not confront the issues of today with the memories of yesterday.Make your opinion heard by voicing your concerns to the powers that be.We’re as close as we have ever been to bringing an end to the persecution of non-violent users of this plant.

You think that after real doctors across the world have admitted that marijuana does have medical purposes would trigger some thought in the minds of politics. And if that does not say anything, how bout the millions that they would not have to spend on that section of the DEA. Also to see that there are 13 states that have decriminalized the substance and there has been no crime increase; same for Canada. NO crime increase there either.

Sorry hit the “enter button by mistake.
RE – #3 Testing positive for marijuana usage will in and of itself cause YOU to be denied an organ transplant in EVERY hospital in EVERY state of the Union. This is especially true in the Legal Medical Marijauna states. Use a tenth of the energy we’ve seen waisting our time on Change.org and Change.gov. Go to the NPR and ORGAN DONATION websites and inform them of your boycott, see how long it takes to CHANGE their punitive attitudes and policy’s.

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS 2009
1. REFUSE TO VOTE FOR ANY CANDIDATE FOR ANY PUBLIC OFFICE WHO DOES NOT SUPPORT FULL LEGALIZATION.
2. REFUSE TO PLEDGE MONEY TO NPR UNTIL COVERAGE OF
PROHIBITION IS MORE BALANCED.
3. REVOKE YOUR ORGAN DONATION STATUS UNTIL MARIJUANA USAGE ( LEGAL OR OTHERWISE ) IS NO LONGER A DISQUALFIER TO GETTING A TRANSPLANT.
RE – #2 Notice how on NPR programs the prohibitionist line is always the only viewpoint given time. Call into any NPR program and mention marijuana, see how long it takes them to hang up. This is because NPR now gets paid to air ONDCP ads, NPR has sold out it’s journalistic credibility. Next pledge drive JUST SAY NO to NPR.
RE – #3 Testing positive for Marijuana will in and of itself cause YOU TO BE DENIED

Before alcohol prohibition the future gangsters were nothing more than pickpockets and petty thugs. The vast sums of money from illegal booze turned them into millionaires with access to the highest levels of society and government. When prohibition was repealed these same gangsters spearheaded the drive to outlaw marijuana as a way to make up the lost revenue, succeeding five years later in 1937. Let all who ask for your vote be told that BY SUPPORTING MARIJUANA PROHIBITION THEY ARE REVEALING THEMSELVES TO BE MERE TOOLS OF ORGANIZED CRIME. REFUSE TO EVER VOTE FOR ANY CANDIDATE WHO DOES NOT SUPPORT FULL LEGALIZATION, NO EXCEPTIONS.
