Marijuana: A REAL perspective
Well let me throw one more crazy FACT at you. It's only illegal to posess, smoke ,transport, or use cannabis if you don't have a tax stamp. And yes, there are about a dozen stamps issued every year. Funny huh? Current stamps are only issued for , wait for it , anti drug research!! Sounds fair to me. REGISTER ,PARTICIPATE,VOTE!! It's YOUR freedom at stake!!!!

I am also in doc g's age group. We need the younger generation to turn out and vote. I know you think it does'nt make a difference, I felt the same way. It makes all the difference in the world. It's not all about the president either. If that was the case then california and other states would not be able to have medical pot laws. This type of effort begins at the local level. This is our first step in getting our voices heard. Voting for judges, city council members, mayors, county commissioners and other local officials is just as important as voting for the next idiot running for president. You have to find out which politicians are on your side. They can't throw you in jail for asking a canidate how he/she feels about marijuana laws. We have a politician in our state house that has been trying to pass a law where possession of less than two ounces is nothing more than a traffic ticket. I have written my locally elected officials in the state house to voice my support for his new bill. If I am the only one than his and my effort will go unnoticed. So far we are a democracy, but this can all change when people just sit around getting high and do nothing.
Marijuana: A REAL perspective
The perception that the U.S. economy would slow if it were legal. Internal research at the white house says the jobs lost fighting marijuana school funding with up to 40% drop in alcohol sales cancer research high paying jobs would be lost and alot more to long to list would devastate state budgets across the country. most people would grow it themself. This is why Bush wont let it go legal he sees it as the most pressing threat to the U.S. If we can prove it wont slow the economy it would be legal.
