		<description>Some people who have made up their minds absolutely refuse to allow themselves to be confused with the facts.  The truth about cannabis will be around long after this idiot, complete with his irrational fear and hate, are long gone.  Cannabis should be re-legalized immediately.  On a related topic, not growing industrial hemp has to be very near the top of the list of the absolutely most stupid things this country has ever done.  Mr. Chabot seems very comfortable with his self-appointed superiority to dictate how others should be allowed to lead their lives, even though they do no harm to others, and little if any to themselves.  I wonder how Mr. Chabot would react if I ran his life in violation of God&#039;s will for people to live in freedom with liberty as acknowledged and cited in the Constitution of the United States.  At the very best, Mr. Chabot is a dangerously bad joke; at worst, he is an example and part of the problem, definitely not any part of a viable solution.</description>

		<description>I butchered my last comment...

Hmm…how strange that this “gentleman” has a blog yet you can not comment on it. Imagine that. These laws are the reason I am now a felon…for the rest of my life cause I choose cannabis over alcohol. I consider politicians like him my personal enemy. I mean these guys aren&#039;t about liberty or freedom or fellow citizens but the almighty dollar and power. I also contacted him and have asked that he turn on his commenting system on his blog page so we could have a healthy debate with him...it&#039;s something I think he needs to do.</description>

		<description>Who paid this guy to say this crap, I am tired of the lies. The difference between marijuana and tobacco is simply life and death. There are thousand of people who die every year from from tobacco, name one person who died from marijuana. And on top of that Doctors want to prescribe drugs that comes from plant like poppy seeds, coca plants etc. that has more of a chance of an addiction that is a struggle to kick.   Maybe if we pushed congress to banned tobacco and these other drugs like they do marijuana, I wonder if they would sing a different song.</description>

		<description>Thanks Russ, that was an excellent rebuttal, as the facts are on your side.

It is seriously depressing to me that politicians can get away with such blatant lies. It depresses me that the public is either really ignorant, really gullible, really stupid or all of the above. I think that the public should really hold politicians accountable. I think the fact that everyone accepts that politicians lie as just being part of life is retarded. If the public were smarter, then politicians who deliberately try to mislead the public would be looked upon with disgust and wouldn&#039;t be elected to any office.

When people are lied to, it is the same as taking away their right to vote. Democracy depends on an informed public. When people make decisions based on lies told to them, then the decisions really are not their own.</description>

		<description>Anyone voting for this idiot should have their head examined. They might find relief for their mental illness with medical cannabis ;)</description>

		<description>See &quot;63rd District: You need to know Paul Chabot&quot; at http://bbvm.wordpress.com/2009/12/11/you-need-to-know-paul-chabot-dont-let-him-gain-office/ .

Paul Chabot is a sick man.  He comes from the drunken Military District of San Bernardino County, where everyone kisses the Feds for Jerry Lewis&#039;s earmark handout, and promotes alcohol for its tax value.</description>

		<description>When did President Obama’s popularity begin to plunge?

In March 09, an online town hall meeting was held by President Obama. The President was asked the question if he thought marijuana legalization could help the US economy. He flat out said &quot;No I don&#039;t. But what bothers me more is what this question says about the Internet online community.&quot;
Then his staff offered unqualified remarks that special interests groups such as NORML conspired and  hijacked the town hall meeting with their marijuana questions. 

Popularity polls have been steadily going south for President Obama since he made his funk remarks back then.</description>
