lawyers are only there to do the dirty work for those who control the reins. they make great figureheads and shills because they are, for the most part, articulate and perform well before a crowd.

as for the profitability of cannabis:

profit is not only reckoned in dollars and cents. money is only one aspect of power and power over the lives of millions is the goal of politics.

I'm republican but I don't think that either party has a lock on mj laws. The republicans are too afraid of offending conservative christians(which I am), and Democrats are too afraid of being politically correct (look at what they do with tobacco). It will come down to the people of the states. When enough tell their representatives of their will, then it can make some headway. But it has to be a BIG majority before anything will be done. Many officials on both sides of the aisle would be for new laws now, but it will never happen until they can rest assured that they won't be kicked out of office for their stance. Power is the only truly important thing to politicians, on the right and the left.

Both of you stop this. Politics only has lax rule set, not an absolute no holds bard. This name calling goes beyond politics, go ask for a flame board on here.
