However, the feat can only be accomplished through 1)a nationwide proliferation campaign 2) a nationwide legalization campaign 3)Individual state legalization. The most effective method is to create powerful lobby in the U.S. Senate. If this lobby is financially backed, it could easily introduce legislation that would create regulate in order to tax marijuana. Similarly, publicizing the struggle is the best strategy and to hide any use is to prevent publicization. Therefore, being vocal about marijuana use is the most important method to achieve national success. In the same way the civil rights movement proceeded, marijuana reform will only be achieved by activism and attention.

RE:
Marton ,
- I’ve just read this news-article.

- – Even though I agree that these laws and their worst-case
EXCESSIVE application are a horrible, oppressive
injustice over a God-given plant-product,

I would fault Richard Watkins for having smoked in his pickup-truck,
(lingering odor), AND for not driving more carefully in the first place.
(This still doesn’t make 30yrs and $1M fine appropriate, though).

Mississippi still appears to be listed as a decrim-state
in NORML’s state-by-state legal section, HOWEVER:

- – Some people get the mistaken impression that
‘decrim’ means that it’s ‘legal’, ‘practically-legal’, whereas it really means
that it’s not AS illegal &/or up to a certain amount,
whereupon, the penalties escalate EXPONENTIALLY,
and that the cannabis-consumer is THEN labelled as a ‘kingpin’ or ‘trafficker’, when in fact, they’re not. :(

The kid is facing a maximum penalty for distributing 30 grams or more but less than a kilogram 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine! http://www.sunherald.com/201/story/1207737.html This is a perfect example of excessive, oppressive injustice by another over zealous police department along with a Judge that really should be targeted for a federal civil rights violation investigation by the DOJ.

The Federal government will not legalize cannabis until they have every angle covered from patents to biocontrols.The patent is here and they are still perfecting the bio-controls.
