		<description>Im completely confident it will be decriminalized and medically accessable soon. Even if its not 75% of the public will still smoke anyway lol. 

I know im not the only one stoned who read this article and did not sit and laugh at John Boehner. Seriously his name cant be pronouned any other way than &quot;boner&quot; and his parents were just assholes first naming him John. His buddies have to call him dick boner. Imagine his middle name being flap or flapping? Dick Flapping Boner. ^^ I can hear your amusement.</description>

		<description>Land of the free? What a joke.
Home of the brave? Yea, no doubt about that.
Obama needs to hear our collective voice and change this prohibition on a federal level allowing states to clear the way for legislation to pass without fear of federal reprisal.
End the failed policy of prohibition now.</description>

		<description>Potheads need to put the bong down(not for long,of course).....but long enuff 2 get off our ass&#039;s and vote/protest/boycott.....something; dammit!! For 2 long now I,myself have been just a sideline stoner. Well, fukk that. I&#039;m Boycotting KELLOGG and U should too. I hate to say this; BUT, stoners need 2 take it a step further-- I vow not to purchase alcoholic beverage products until Reefer is legalized. I am NOT going to give money to an industry that is against and lobby&#039;s to keep BUD illegal. STONERS assemble!!!!
 If U are a stoner...and are truly HEAD-icated; then join my &quot;vow&quot; and STAND UP against an Industry that would have us stand down. Wanna join me and become part of the HEAD-icated: go to myspace. Look up display name &quot;theSHRoOMROoM&quot; and ask for buddy invite; so that you can post Ur pledge. Be mindful, however....this ain&#039;t no new year&#039;s resolution. If U post a comment stating U will not drink booze...then I expect U, my fellow stoner, to hold 2 it!!!</description>

		<description>Were going to win this so called Drug War no matter what the non smokers say. Cops are cowards that hide behind badges and laws. Most are over weight slobs anyway. If you can&#039;t be anything else in life you can always be in law enforcement. The ones I know are idiots anyway, just like the people against reform.</description>
