Well it's come a long way in the 35 years I've been toking..

For example, 30 years ago there's no way they would let a guy like Willie run around smoking pot across the country, they would have made sure to bust him hard and make an example.. The DEA knows they could bust him any time at all, why don't they? They don't want the backlash, and publicity.

They know they are playing a losing game.

We need to get practical though. We should gain strong allies like turning on the tobacco industry to the goldmine that could open up for them and get their heavy duty lobbyists on our side.

We should lobby folks like Micheal Moore who have drawing power to get people to watch his films, to make a film like F911 on the lunacy, lies and deception the government is putting on us about pot and get the public educated, and enraged if possible at the taxes they are being forced to pay for this prohibition and prisons bursting at the seams.
