		<description><![CDATA[I wish people would shut up about the One Ounce stuff. So F&#039;n What, at least it allows carrying more then anyone really needs at once. There&#039;s probably not really a limit for in home and in your own privacy. There&#039;s actually a limit on how much alcohol you may posses, not like I know the limit. I am not much for alcohol anymore anyways, as I would rather just stay sober. Marijuana I usually enjoy more anyways.
I am so so off subject. I do hope, that all States with these initiatives will pass, as it&#039;s time to move past Marijuana Prohibition.
It would have only been like, 5 years yet to go on 80 years. That is just too too long. It is time for a different approach to curving people&#039;s want to used pot, and just let them.
Tax, regulate, and then get onto more important things. The prison business will find enough inmates to stay in business without the Marijuana laws. Thing is, if they are going private, then the Government is running out of money to run them.

Keep pushing everyone, we&#039;re getting past Prohibition soon.   ;-)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone who supports the decriminalization, full out legalization and downgrade of marijuana as a schedule 1 drug, to less then that of cocaine &amp; heroin, should send the DEA a letter of response to just how ridiculous their decision is. Very ridiculous and absurd. 
Soon, most of the states like mine here in WA will join our fight for legalization of this plant. When there are even southern states like Arkansas who put it on their ballots in 2012 election, but narrowly failed, then you know the country&#039;s mindset on this issue has changed, just like it did for alcohol prohibition, one by one, the states overturned it. I am hopeful of the changes coming.

		<description><![CDATA[I think only the west coast states are likely to pass this.  It wouldn&#039;t surprise me if Hawaii does, but PA isn&#039;t going to.  

At this point these measures are mostly symbollic.  You can&#039;t expect prosecutors to just ignore federal law.  The Feds have been going after med. dispensaries for violating tax laws.  You can&#039;t claim business tax deductions on drug dealing.  As far as the Feds are concerned their sales are illegal drug dealing.  

But if you get half the states passing this kind of law, then Congress will feel complelled to change the law.]]></description>
