Birdgirl makes a valid point, however anyone that stands up and fights for legalization must be applauded, we who use cannabis, need to come "out of the closet" and join in the fight for our rights, nothing in this country changes without struggle or pain. The pharmacudical companys have sway over politicions and until that influence is squelched it is unlikely that things would change. That said I do believe we will prevail by&by and that as the number of advocates increase, and facts about cannabis are being made available things are bound to improve.
