like a genuine man. However, one issue I did not read
anything about was the decriminalization or
legalization of the cannabis plant.

Although this is definitely a minor issue when
compared to the atrocious war in Iraq and problems
with health care, it is not a minor issue to the
non-violent people that are arrested every 43 seconds
for possession of this harmless plant.

I urge you to spend some time researching this issue.
Not only are the current laws an infringement on human
rights and an unfair judgment of moral character by
the armed clergymen we call police, but a system of
taxation could result in huge revenue from something
that is far less harmful and less addicting than the
legal drugs alcohol and tobacco. Legalization would
also take money out of the hands of terrorists and
insurgent groups as well.

The war on drugs has been a huge failure, and rather
than pumping more money into it, wouldn't it make more
sense to treat drug use as a health problem rather
than a problem with a person's moral character and
judgment? Things that affect only the person doing
it should not be a criminal offense. I thank you for
your time and would appreciate a response if you find
the time, although I do realize you must be very busy.

Sincerely,
Me


Copy it if you want, just make sure you send something. If we really want the bullshit to stop, its going to take everyone collectively working together to inform people about this wonderful plant.
Hell yeah man Im with you.
