This is the first step! We must convince the governator that this action is necessary. If California legalizes marijuana for everyone, the other states will fall in line. This is the first step!

All studies must be cited and an independent team of fact checkers prepared to corroborate those presented. All too often politics becomes the arena of demagogues keeping our old prejudices alive and proving our reason oh-so-brittle! For those eager to enjoy a rather enlightening overview of the topic, see on Google Video the award-winning Canadian documentary, "The Union: The Business Behind Getting High." Arnold,

Sorry for the all caps. I keep seeing a thousand pages of forums saying the reasons it should be legal. I see hundreds of news columns talking about the existence of the bill. What I'm not seeing is a unified front, showing each representative BY NAME and whether they support or not. We should be spending our time and resources to annoy the living hell out of those individuals who are not going to support the bill. We need them to make public their intent to vote in support of the bill. We need a countdown to the deadline for their vote. We need for these people to know that if they neglect their constituency in this matter it will affect their reelection. Threaten their jobs and get their attention. Show that the people support this bill and are organizing against their apathy. Politicians are rich and powerful and only act when they feel its politically safe to do so. Make enough noise so they can always point to the public after the vote and say they were made to vote they way they did, for the public. WE NEED A WEBSITE WITH THE REPRESENTATIVES NAMES, DISTRICTS, POSITIONS AND THE END OF THEIR REELECTION DATE. WE NEED PRETTY COLOR GRAPHICS SO EVEN IDIOTS, CHILDREN AND ANIMALS CAN SEE WHERE THIS BILL STANDS. CAN SOMEBODY BUILD A WEBSITE SHOWING EACH REPRESENTATIVE AND THEIR SUPPORT?

Politicians are scheming little cowards that only know how to pull fake smiles and lie well. Power to the people not the government. Just a thought how much does the government in your state actually earn with fighting cannabis? Want to end all the problems in the world? just end banker paradises like switzerland and cayman islands where corrupt men like you put their laundered money away from public eyes! I know what to do seems you don´t. sorry i don´t respect cowards. Keep prooving people right! Politicians are scheming little cowards that only know how to pull fake smiles and lie well.

Plus! they don´t even know what all the side effects are or even the right dosage to apply. Very dodgy stuff! Your government thinks it´s ok to test medication on people! but someone can´t smoke a joint? come on! stop trying to bullshit everyone! You think it´s ok that someone can buy rat poison and kill themselves with NO dramas! but you can´t do something you´ll enjoy! I wasn´t born to work and pay taxes for you to sit back and enjoy the ride! Cut the hypocrisy, lies, corruption,greed, live and let live.
