		<description>How did Harkin vote? I am from Iowa, I know Grassley acts like he is smoking too much....and is probably out.

Harkin will alienate a few voters if he is not supporting medical marijuana use.

thanks.</description>

This will link you to a news article where one can find ONDCP&#039;s statistics.  In order to achieve THC content of over 10% includes Hash!  The ONDCP lies and distorts the facts to achieve their own purposes.  The lie is exposed and CNN should be called to correct or recant their story and present the facts.</description>

		<description>I think its messed up how the opinions of the public to Obama were blown off as online &quot;trolls&quot;.  It disappoints me to hear Obama say &quot;NO&quot; to legalization when our growing concern is the Mexican border and the obvious solution is to lower demand for marijuana.  Not by creating more treatment centers and debt, but by creating domestic growing operations so good the money may start flowing the other direction.  
There is just too much to say that has probably been already &quot;hashed&quot; out.  Please, Mr President, GO GREEN!</description>

		<description>One thing I don&#039;t understand about the above article(very good, btw) is contained in the quote &quot;The average THC in domestically grown marijuana — which comprises the bulk of the US market — is less than five percent, a figure that’s remained unchanged for nearly a decade.&quot;. By this account I would obviously surmise that the bulk of marijuana sold on  the U.S. black marketis of domestic origin. However, I have heard DEA reports(even on NPR interviews) that the bulk of marijuana sold in the U.S.is coming from Mexico. The figures usually given are something like 70-80% smuggled in from Mexico, and the remaining 30-20% is domestically grown or from other countries. The implication is that U.S. demand for marijuana is supporing the Mexican drug cartel and contributing to all the violence. I have heard other statistics cited(on a conservative talk radio show of all things) that basically reversed these statistics i.e., 20% from Mexico and 80% of domestic origin. Does anyonw know the correct statistics?</description>
