Thanks to those of you who posted the sight that let me email the White house. I have wanted to do that for a long long time now. I do have something to say to Texasinkhole. No pun intended. But you should be hopeful of this movement. I was very sceptical for a long time. Though I do understand were your views. I myself am tired of dreaming of this. But as long as people do not speak about it, in general as well as to the public and every other person out there. It will be a dream. I am very much for this movement and I will not sit quite any longer. The voice of one man/woman is all it takes to inspire another to speak out. I have been sitting on this subject for a very long time. Waitting for the correct moment to bring this out. Honestly I thin kthat now is the time to put this movement together. Who thought that medical MJ would ever be legal. I know that I didnt, and I'm almost sure that you did not either. Thats the first step to success. When I read that the bill for Medical Mj was passed I smiled all day and am still doing so. I'm not sure who it was that spoke this quote but its much of the truth. -"There is nothing to fear but fear itself"- Unknown! I think that if enough poeple realy want this to happen. It will heppen. We are talking a lot of people and a lot of work. Hippies have always and will always be around. So will the opposing. Bob Marley once said, "Get up stand up, Stand up for your rights" It's time this issues be openly fought by the poeple (we the people)! I will sit no longer in hidding. You should no longer sit either. I am and will make my stand not only for the people but for myself and future generations as well. Get the Cocaine, Meth, Heroin, and other hard drugs off the streets and let love take over. Use the Sativa and the Indica to our advantage. Paper, Textiles, Fuel, health foods, Sewage treatment. Medical uses as well as recreational. America is on the path to destruction because of things that we have overlooked for so long. Re-Legalization is the key to many of these issues. Not to mention for those of us who have no work. Employment rates wont be as high they have in the past few months. It makes me sick to see what has been going on for so long now. America needs to take a toke, sit back, think about it, and come to its senses. Honestly I'm not sure, but if there is a way to put this issue on a special ballot of some sort before the next presidential election, and make it publically known. I think, more people then we could imagen would step up and make the vote. For those of you who do not support this movement. I feel sorry for what you are missing out on. As for the media. They are a big part is this as well, no matter how much we do or don't like it. Turn the media in our direction and turn the eyes of millions. Both here at home and els were. Lol Can you believe that I grew up in Utah, still live here matter of fact. Thanks again for posting the email web links. If you havent taken a look I strongly suggest that you do. Who knows maybe you could be the voice to change the deciding mind on this race. I also urge people to take the time to read and learn. There is so much that Cannabis and hemp can be used for. So many thing that this recession could have been avoided almost completly. "Risk may cause Failure, But success can not come without it"-unknown ! -_-One Love-_- So I went back and read everybodys posts.

Even when it gets to 60% approval, hypothetically speaking, it still will not be legalized. When is the last time that the government did something that people wanted? It's a nice thought, but I don't think that weed ever be legal.

Look its like this (at least for me). Oil is about to be a very big issue. Some say no its not. Look at the books and the numbers. Its going to cost us a fortune, soon at that. Resolution (take a guess), Paper and other things we use in every day life are made from trees. Trees are being taken down very fast and it takes em how long to grow back, that is if ever. Lots of problems if we run out of trees. Resolution (Take a guess). Employment rates in America hit above 9% september 2009 (correct me if I'm wrong please) Manufacturing requires employment oportunities. Medical uses are unlimited. Prisons and jails are full of what. People who are partaking of a natural herb for whatever reason. Almost 8 Billion a year spent for "solving" that issue. I could go on and on. But I think you should see my point by now. Marijuana is not a "gateway drug either" If you drink, yupo you got it. If you smoke, your there as well. (I smoke and I drink some) so please dont think I'm singling anybody out. but for real. I dont think I need to say much more at all except. One Love---- 50 mil and counting.

Tax it, regulate it, and sell it. businesses would start up and jobs would be created. Thousands who are wrongly imprisoned for such offenses would no longer be, especially for something which is less harmful than alcohol and cigarettes. This whole "war on drugs" thing is a waste of taxpayer's dollars which could be used in other, much needed ways (health care?).
