This shows how this fucked up this country is that I still call home.The USA people got there heads so far up the governments ass we as a nation can't even think straight. Our founders believed in individual FREEDOM and PRIVACY from government. Also they belived that every preson has the right to vote and speek freely. So, with all that lets use this forum (internet)to unite our outrage and pull our collective heads out of the ass of government.Vote out of office these greedy,selflothing politicians and start electing forward thinking,realist that understand the will of the people. Untill we understand that all politicans in government right now are nothing but crooks and liers, we will as a socioty be so fucked over, day in and day out and issue after issue. Right now I am so pissed off at this country i am seriously thinking about moving to canada.(That was a Joke) I got on this website after loosing my job after a positive random test the day after returning from New Years vacation. Now I am skrewed by unemployment insurance, cobra insurance, and i was FIRED. Real good for my job hunt in a crappy economy that gets worst by the minute. The other thing that sucks is that I wasn't even stoned when i took the test. But because i puffed-up three days earlier at a New Years Eve party,it showed up on this UNCONSTUTIONAL invation into my privacy. The only answer to all of the foolishness is newly elected government officials that are scrutinized by the people before they are even considered for a nomination. Why is every body missing the point of this artical that I see?

You have about as much fight in you as a worm, which actually fits your personality. The world I come from is one that you stand with your brothers, not watch them get fucked while you stand on the side lines with your fucking bullshit weed the feds feed your rat ass. Who the fuck are you to investigate, and or make recommendations of any sort. I guess I can't figure out how you weren't shut down years ago. I served in Nam while your whining ass was crying. Fuck you you piece of shit! RE: Mark Anthony;

The only logically and morally consistent argument for marijuana prohibition necessitates the criminalization of all harmful recreational drugs, including alcohol, nicotine and caffeine. We can agree that such an infringement on personal freedoms is as impractical as it is un-American. The time has come to accept that our nation's attitude toward marijuana has been misguided for generations and that the only rational approach to cannabis is to legalize, regulate and tax it."

I was 18yrs and I had pulled up some Indiana Hemp ( thc practly zero and used to make rope in the old days. Ind. was the Hemp capitol of the US and still grows wild there. I was charged,convicted and sent to a notorious labor camp. Charlie Manson had every official in the US angry and I was charged / convicted for NAROCOTICS. Which in 68 it was considered. In Mo. I faced Life ( still on the books I think ) for " intent to deliver to a minor. I was also under 21 and beat the case. In the mid 70 I got 2 to 5 and 1 to 10 run concurently and sent to Menard State Pen. for Possession of more than 454 grams of local weed. Im not in the least surprised to hear what they want to do to this poor sod! In a time where politicians are some of the worst criminals in the US we still have many States with archiac Laws that ruin lives. I moved to Ca. and bought my medical marijuana in Oaksterdam a block from the cop shop!Lawfully! Now I have to live in this state where a pipe will get you arrested! We should all Pray for this guy! Her grew some pot, big deal! BOOZE is still considered Fine even though it's addicting and kills tens of thousands every year and nicotine is more addicting than Heroine. Check it out. And here we have a President that did pot and coke and admitted It! Good thing statute of limitations ran out before he wrote his book and Confessed!! zman In 1968 I got 1 year hard labor in Greencastle Ind.

California, might legalize, because people are doing it anyway so why not save california's economy with pot.. I'm all for it but look at the pot laws around the country and we still have many ass backward states, including florida where i live. I think it'll take a lot longer than 4 years denbee i really think that 4 years is too optiimistic.

Excuse me but this next november California will likely vote to legalize and tax cannabis similar to alcohol regardless of Federal law. When other people in other states see what the will of the people is capable of, amazing things will begin to happen. Federal law will be forced to change or be nullified. We are now the majority according to the latest nationwide poll and many, many of us vote with a passion! Current elected officials and future elected candidates had better understand that it is now an advantage to them to be on our side and to re-evaluate their position of cannabis legalization. No, not 10-20 years, 4 years tops! And as California proves to the rest of us that cannabis really doesn't make black men want to look at white girls and life pretty much goes on normally with the exception of the state reaping millions upon millions in taxes from the taxing of cannabis, how long do you think it will take for the other states to catch on? Cannabis legalization is much more that the recreational use of the plant. The commercial use of the rest of the plant will generate even more revenue for the state! Money moves the nation and the potential money from legal cannabis is staggering. People get ready for theres a train a coming! 10-20 years??

I hate to put it this way, but as the older more conservative anti-pot generation dies out, the new younger,more informed generation even if they dont use pot will want to see it legalized.

The mexican economy cannot sustain itself without the billions of dollars in drug money. If you removed all drug money from Mexico's economy they would go belly up. JACK AUFF youre completely right.
