Would you join in to do lose pounds?:thumbsup:If we all had to go sign up online and keep an accurate update (no lying) would you do it? Maybe if we get this thing big enough we could send it to the governor and get it legalized in the US, so lets get this very big and get our chances of getting it legalized up, so spread this to all your friends and post it here!
P.S. If you think this is a good idea Rep me
Fortunately, Bush will not be president in 2008. Also, I don't think anyone would legalize it if people became thin. They don't care how fat or skinny anybody is. Police stations get money from the drug war, because they bust people transporting drug money, and take the money for the station, for themselves, and to help pay cops. That is just one reason that I believe that it's illegal in the U.S. There are many other reasons, of course... and they're all unjust and ridiculous. Let's put it this way: If people weren't making money by keeping it illegal, there'd be no reason to not make it legal. Even if everyone still believed it was really bad, it would be legalized if nobody profited off of the drug war (think: cigarettes are legal, and they don't even get you high!). I went off-topic a bit--let me go back on-topic.

You cannot bargain with the federal government in this way. They don't give a damn if shitloads of citizens lost weight for the sake of legalizing Cannabis. What you're saying is pointless, but I'm glad you're stoked about the possibility of getting it legalized--WE ALL ARE TOO! Just realize that there is more support for Cannabis in the U.S. than ever before. More and more states are making medical cannabis legal every year... many states have decriminalized it as well. California, Colorado, and Alaska are basically weed smoking havens now. Hopefully we won't need a "haven" anymore, and it will be legalized everywhere--for more than just medicinal needs, but recreational wants as well! I'm sure your state has a NORML chapter. Hopefully they're fighting for legalization in your state. I think if a majority of states legalize by state-wide law, that the feds would have too much of a hard time controlling it.

All you have to do is hope, pray, and spread the good word of cannabis. That is how this must be done. Everyone needs to work at getting people to know the truths! Personally, I think NORML should make a commercial, stating the truths of cannabis, which would contradict the AboveTheInfluence commercials which really have no arguments against it anymore other than "you shouldn't do it, cuz people will leave you and not respect you!"

Once most people realize the truths, there will be more votes for legalization on the ballots than votes against it. Find creative ways to spread the word so that people will listen, and not think you're just some crazy pothead (people who think it's bad will think you're a crazy pothead, and disregard you because they believe we are intellectually inferior--but the truth is, they are the ones who are brainwashed).

sorry for the long post. but like i said, there is no bargaining with politicians.
