Isn’t it time for an open and honest debate about reforming our nation’s drug laws? Hawaii’s Republican Governor Linda Lingle sure doesn’t think so. She, like many prohibitionists, fears that a little free speech would bring to light the terrible hypocrisy, cruelty, and backwardness of US drug policy. And that’s a No-No. [...] [...] Forty-four percent of American voters support taxing and regulating marijuana like tobacco and alcohol.

Bad laws such as pot laws making crimminals out of otherwise law abiding and productive citizes do notheing except breed comtempt for our justice system in general as well as for those that support keeping MJ illegal based on nonsense.

Harmful to others-just like tobacco? Goes against people's morals- wasn't the country founded on the fact that all people are different? There should be some toleration, this is America! And I would like to not have to worry about getting in trouble with the law for doing some recreational activities. And we could pull the economy out of the hole!

We need somthing that wont make us feel ill or have withdrawls like alcohole. I'm not a drinker but it would be nice to have something that will relaxe me after a long hard day working in customer service. We need to legalize marijuana to help boost the economy, heel the sick, calm the stressed people. At least if it was legal it would be supervised like alcohole so people don't have problems with the law. We don't want trouble anymore.
