    These lawyers could have instead of writing this letter, filed criminal complaints of misuse of tax money, lieing to the public, using fraud within the creation of laws, endorsing discrimination, enforcing unjust and unfair laws based on greed for profit. They could have sued the feds for creating a blackmarket and the drug cartels, but instead they ask for permission from voters to seek the truth about a non toxic plant with over 25,000 uses.

    It is not about smoking pot, it is about reducing our need for foriegn oil which pot seeds and its bio mass could replace.

    Its not about getting high, it is about allowing citizens living in the freeest country in world to be free and not live in fear.

    It is not about saving our kids, they can buy hard drugs at grade schools but not beer.

    It is not about letting Hippies get their way, it is about restoring the bill of rights which the war on pot has destroyed.

    LETS DO THIS THING, GET IT LEGALIZED, OR AT LEAST DECRIMINALIZE IT NATIONWIDE, IT’S THE BEST WAY TO CONTROL IT, AND MAKE SOME MONEY FOR THE ECONOMY ON IT, IT WILL ALSO HELP PUT THE DRUG LORDS OUT OF BUSINESS.

  4. [...] begin to shift. The expansion of these progressive changes, as well as the recent fight for marijuana legalization in California, seem to indicate that drug decriminalization may be on our [...]

  5. [...] laws and penalties in our country are badly in need of reform. In a climate where scores of eminent law professors are calling for the legalization of cannabis, it is difficult to fathom that someone could actually be sentenced to life in prison simply for [...]

  7. [...] is much growing support among many different groups for legalizing weed nationally, as well as in the Pacific Northwest. [...]
