So I really do feel where kind of at a strange point in MJ history. Medical is now considered totally fine, even though for a lot of users its just a front, but thats the point. Nowadays even the goverment has to admit the MJ really doesn't belong with what I call the child molesting HARD drugs. They even admit well "its not addicting but it is phycologicaly" which even they know sounds weak. Phycologicaly? yea OK that means I do it because I like it, but I could quit easily, say 1000 times easier than an alcoholic. I think it will take 10-20 more years but the hammer will fall. Like it has in selected places. I don't think the statistics in Canada show that the youth has all gone crazy and lazy and turned into idiotic people, They know crime is not up because of MJ, in fact I think Canada and the US know that it has been more possitive than negitive and that fact is changing old ways even if its slow change. So I really hope that Nevada passes it but if the phone polls are correct they wont, 55% is a huge amount over the top for not legalizeing it if you know anything about polls. It would be nice and I'd bet it would also be a total success in term of proof that theres more to gain than lose for the young and the older. Thats whats holding the Goverment back right now, they know once the proof is out there will be no defendable positions for them, they know this from Canada and States that have medical and have decriminalized it. None of those states are showing any numbers that the feds can use and say SEE WE TOLD YOU, because they are checking and finding out that it really should be seperated from Coke, Acid, Meth and Crack, Heroin, PCP and any of those and are realizing that they need to pull it away from being assocciated with those harder drugs.
The Goverment is terrified what hard drugs can do to kids and adults and this is their real concern. The US Govermant moves slowly but they are truly just acknowlegeing that MJ is not a hard drug even if they have know it for 50 years. When the Feds realize that its easier to stop the VERY HARD DRUGS if they get Marijuana away from being assocciated with those, like alcolhol is(do you think a person who has a six pack of beer also may have some crack in their car-NO) then it will become legal very quick. And this is happening right now, thats the whole basis of the Nevada law not hey everyone feel free to get high but more lets get Marijuana away from the hard dealers and make it that much harder on them to deal those hard drugs. It will work and will be more possitive than negitive when they approve it. Then it will spread quickly across the states say 5 years minimum when the Goverment sees they are more successfull against the "Hard Drugs" because thats really what we all want. People have been miss informed that Marijuana is a hard drug but now everyone is realizeing while its powerful its not HARD and year by year it moves more to OK lets take this Marijuana/tool from the dealers and not give them an easy reason to meet with the youth or push it on a Marijuana smoker. I think......10 years from now things will be different than now but just slow cahnge in the next 5-10 then more rapid acknowldgement that its not a hard drug and legalization will be common. In fact this is what has happened in the last 5 years and I don't see it being reversed, Medical will become the first wave as it trying to do now, then small possession wil follow as it has in a few state and then flat out legalization or it will be able to be bought at retail. Canada is there right now, the US sees the writing on the wall its just hard to move fast in the US goverment, but like I said I don't see it swinging back to being viewed by politians like it was in the 1900- 1990 they flat out know with the information of today that it's not a harsh drug, and theres no way to coninue to portray it in that light and even they know it.
I do beleave that Marijuana is a powerful drug and everyday use is not very good as with alcohol. I know physicaly alcohol is worse but recreational use is where the fun is, not the need it to function amount. But lets face it, at this point in information overload its obvious that marijuana shouldn't be a federal crime to use. Even the FEDs are at a turtles pace saying the same thing. Not a whole lot of movement in the next five years, then in five to ten years a small but powerfull wave of 10 -20 states, then in 10-15 years its just a total tiping of the scales, or all types of reasons.
^ EVERYONE LAUGH AT THE UN EGALITARIAN PANZY BOY WHO CANT TOLERATE SOMETHING DIFFERENT. SORRY WE ALL DONT FIT IN YOUR ARYAN WORLD MASTER, PLEASE SLAUGHTER ME KNOW!Quote:

this news just in from the Marijuana Policy Project - Aug. 7, 2006 ... :smokin:
Support for Nevada initiative is split 50% to 50%!
Great news! The Marijuana Policy Project recently commissioned a survey of 5,000 registered voters in Nevada which revealed that voters are split precisely 50% to 50% on our ballot initiative.
Our initiative â?? which the Nevada government has already certified for the November 7 ballot â?? would end marijuana prohibition entirely for adults aged 21 and older ... if the initiative receives over 50% of the vote.
Only five times in the history of the country has a state voted on such a ballot initiative. The best showing so far was the 44.5% vote in Alaska in November 2004, so the fact that our survey shows the Nevada initiative is polling at 50% to 50% is significant.
We used Nevada's voter rolls to make our calls, which means we know we were surveying 5,000 actual registered voters. (In typical public opinion polling, a polling firm will call random phone numbers and "screen out" people who say they're not registered to vote or unlikely to vote, and end up with 500 completed interviews.)
Interestingly, we discovered that regular voters are just as likely to support our initiative as voters who vote irregularly â?? both groups of voters are split 50% to 50% on our initiative. So we need every supportive Nevadan to vote in this election, which could end up nearly tying at 300,000 to 300,000 votes.
If we succeed in passing the initiative, Nevada would be the only place in the world to permit the cultivation, distribution, and sale of marijuana to adults aged 21 and older.
Please visit the campaign's Web site for more information about the campaign, breaking news, the staff's blog, merchandise, ways you can get involved â?? from anywhere in the country â?? and much more.
Please get involved. Winning this campaign will be the beginning of the end of marijuana prohibition.
