ATTENTION: ALL ELIGIBLE U.S. VOTERS - FEDERALLY DECRIMINALIZE MARIJUANA! [H.R. 5843]

"This bill is in the first step in the legislative process. Introduced bills go first to committees that deliberate, investigate, and revise them before they go to general debate. The majority of bills never make it out of committee. Keep in mind that sometimes the text of one bill is incorporated into another bill, and in those cases the original bill, as it would appear here, would seem to be abandoned. [Last Updated: Nov 6, 2008]"

This bill, not even in committee yet, really doesn't go far enough in decriminalizing. It'd still be illegal to grow, which is required to possess. It is a start though...

Decrimializing pot would be one of the top 5 best thing to ever happen in my lifetime.. AND 3.5 ounces/100grams I WOULD BE SO HAPPY!!! please support this and put a permanent end to all unessasary arrests for cannabis consumers!!

Anyone willing to start a movement?.. The time is now.:rastasmoke::hippy::rasta::jointsmile::thumbsu p:

Just so you know feds look at this page! So stating you grow illegally will put a bigger target on you than making the phone call. You can be tracked down from the boards. So for your own safety never post that your a grower!

My senators office knows me by name now. There is no such thing as "to much" when talking about how much to advocate for the cannabis.

the main thing really is a "political will" to go for this all the way... the rest are details that will eventually be ironed out... if personal possession becomes legal/decrimd, soon seeds cultivation must follow or perhaps something in regards of distribution must be done. meanwhile i highly doubt this will have any measurable impact on crime rates the way they are calculated...

In my opinion, GoddessHerb is one hundred percent correct. Things seldom just "work themselves out". Without initially addressing the issues of production and distribution, almost ALL of the ills that prohibitionists attach to use but which are actually the direct result of prohibitionist policy will still be present. They will have plenty of ammunition with which to convince the sheeple to then AGAIN criminalize the drug.

It says "(did not happen)" on that site for the Medical one. Does that just mean hasn't happened yet or what?

For all those who are tight asses pay attention. We are not here to hurt anyone, we have jobs, pay our taxes and on a daily basis do all the right things. I just have 1 question why is it ok that alcohol is legal but marijuana is not. People die everyday from alcohol weather it be in car accidents, overdoses, or liver disease and this is ok but Marijuana who never harmed anyone is not legal. This is puzzeling to me, what is the worstthing that could happen tight asses we get hungry and eat a little more, or we become more friendly, um can someone tell me how this is harmfull? Ciggeretts are legal but they cause cancer, hmmmmmm. Do you people understand where i am comming from? The government wants to stimulate the economy, well here is an idea legalize medical marijuana, put a tax on it and i bet you this would definitely help the economy. For the non believers, take a real poll with real americans and you will see that alot more people smoke marijuana than you think. Most of these people are well respected people who are doctors, lawyers, and teachers. In my opinion there are much worse things to worry about in life and marijuana never hurt anyone so i just don't see the reason it is not legal. Please someone challenge me on this and i will come up with a rebuttle for everything you have.

You do realise you're on a pro marijuana forum right?
Write to your politicians instead of us, they're the ones that need to be convinced, not us. Write them and tell them how it can help the economy. Do your part mate, GO MAN GO!

called and talked to them. talk about nerve racking. ha. well worth a minute or two with the Man.

lets get it done!
