as with so many other things, the u.s. has been the leader in this nonsensical prohibition. our government has used its influence around the world to see to it that weed has been vilified across the globe. if it were legalized here, how long do you think it would take for restrictions to be loosened everywhere? this may be one of the few countries that could influence a global repeal of this prohibition.

marching does nothing, this prohibition isn't seen as a matter of human rights. the people's influence in washington is minimal at best unless those animals can be shown that we are capable of reducing their power. fear of reprisal and the "lazy hippie" stigma have forced smokers underground and allowed the propaganda machine's labels to go unchallenged. marches are seen as nothing more than a nuisance and legalization's proponents as flea-bitten outcasts, no matter how their numbers may swell.

the Government does their thing, I do mine :smokin:
influencing others through personal action is the only way to sway enough of the mainstream population. acting responsibly and still admitting to your use of herb shows the ignorant how biased the information that they are given really is and leads to a general questioning of the government's propaganda by those who would never think of doing such a thing. no amount of counter-propaganda can match the power of personal experience. even the most strident anti-drug proponent can be swayed when shown that a little weed in the off hours hasn't reduced the efficiency of someone they have always depended on.
of course this is a rather dangerous course. jobs can be lost, fines and even imprisonment may have to be endured, but what is at stake is more than just the pleasure of the occasional joint. it is our basic rights that are being infringed on. as asinine government regulations reach further and further into our daily lives, more of the population sees the ludicrous nature of this prohibition and we gain more and more converts. in this respect, government is its own worst enemy. as they seek tighter control of the population, more people are affected by their totalitarian measures and more can see through their blatant lies.

And still after that Dutch, it would need to be rescheduled, or in all reality, removed completely from the schedule for narcotics. This is what gives the teeth for enforcement at every level of the law. In fact if it were removed from the schedule for narcotics, that would likely be the precursor for the destruction of the international treaty, and so on. I believe anyway, I can see a lot more instances where the US has taken the lead and been the first to do something in history as opposed to any other modern country. What we do, the world follows, no matter how mad it makes some folks!!! LOL:jointsmile:

Needless to say, it's far more complex than the president saying, "and this is the way it is because Obama Hussien says so!"
No president can single handily really do what needs to be done for cannabis. But he could appoint a compassionate AG or a revolutionary to do the right thing if he really wanted to.
Um, nevermind.:thumbsup:
We got Holder.
Google folks.
Holder Eric marijuana use
Thank you good night.
BUt I guess it's likely that Obama has no idea who Eric Holder is or what he believes, after all this is the guy that listened to Rev Wright for years and just thought he was a nice ol' fellar. So it's pretty believable that Obama may be compassionate to cannabis, but daw gone it, he just didn't realize his AG is a pothead Nazi of sorts. Darn the luck! Shucks! Oh well. Off to save the world!
Obama awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!:D
And don't forget...
Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaange!:jointsmile:
THat or he is a liar, that preys on the stupid.

Hey calm down!!! Don't want to say stuff like that! He is probably just believes he is right and is doing the right thing. He's just wrong. No need to go all Rambo though! LOL.
What it comes down to is not Holder's pov, but the fact Obama chose him. That says more than anything, about Obama, and the direction we are headed.
All I can say,
Grow your own.
Hunt for those exclusive phenos!
Keep to yourself, rides about to get bumpy I think.:jointsmile:

I really hate to burst all your bubbles, but legalization of pot is just not a key issue in this economic climate. With the economy in the tank and two wars going badly, The repukes fighting the stimulous package, Rush advocating overthrow of the democratic government, Spears coming at him from all sides, I doubt he'll entertain a pot solution untill he deals with some "real important issues". Hold your collective horses and try and avoid incarceration for a couple of years, then ratchet up the pressure for legalization. A little common sense here would be much appreciated by the Obama administration, I'm sure.

I've been watching this shit drag on, for a half-century, and the situation hasn't improved much ... I smoked pot then, and I smoke pot now, the Government does their thing, I do mine :smokin:
apparently you don't talk to enough younger people, reaper..There's kids I went to school with who once in college were exposed to marijuana learned the truth about it, and even those who are still too pussy to break the law by smoking marijuana, (but still drink underage I might add) know that there's really nothing wrong with it...
Some day soon bro, the internet exposes the truth about it, and as more and more people use the internet, they're able to learn the truth. And knowledge is power. Some day my friend, some day :) :stoned:

Sorry to link to another thread, but it's easier than retyping the pertinent information. Especially since up until this point, it would appear that there has been no mention of the administrations exact position on this. Unless I happened to miss something...:jointsmile:

and here i thought that the civil liberties of the american people were of prime importance at all times. in the midst of two wars, the left was screaming when government merely enhanced its power to observe our lives. now, with a socialistic regime in power, the fact that our citizens are being unjustly imprisoned for the consumption of an harmless herb should be deemed "unimportant"? is a stimulus package that stimulates only the government's economy more important than the freedom of the people? is it more urgent to silence the opposition than to ensure the rights of all our citizens?

i doubt he'll "entertain a pot solution" at all. there is always something of greater importance than the protection of the people's constitutional rights and if there isn't they can make something up. it is far more important that government create problems that only they can solve and to work ever more diligently to shackle the market and their constituents. the urgency of their pork laden legislation is obvious to us all.
