Los Angeles City Council wants the DEA OUT

This is a great thing to happen, it means a lot coming from the 2nd largest city in America, (I think).

Could be great for the whole country. If the federal policy changes to recognize state MMJ laws, more states might enact them.

It would mean federal policy recognizes MMJ on some level, a line the DEA doesn't want crossed.

Go L.A.!

this is great news, showing that we're moving in the right direction. re-legalization of medical cannabis and industrial hemp can and will save the world. re-legalization of cannabis / hemp would completely change (for the better) practically every single big aspect of our lives.

it is a fact that we can stop cutting down ALL trees and pumping ALL oil 1 year after re-legalizing hemp. both fuel and fiber can be produced from the same plant, and unlike trees and oil, this is not a limited resource, it will grow 20 feet high every year. hemp will become the number 1 cash crop in california within a year of re-legalization, providing a great boost in income for the state.

i'm not going to mention all the other uses, including pharmaceutical, because if i do, i'll never stop talking
