I'd like to say that maybe things will be different when we get our regime change in November, but then I remember that I've seen 5 different presidents in my day and nothing ever seems to really change.
The only real changes seem to come at a state level, but the fed tries to crap all over those changes most of the time.

I guess this outrage will have to touch the vast silent majority in a way that they can see rather than just behind the scenes for something real to be done about it.

Can't Michael Moore do a documentary on this? That might work, or help anyway.

Cannabis as a political issue already has too many Michael Moores, until activism changes direction and the people associated with it, it is not going to achieve any kind of significant progress, and I predict, will be set further back. The sad thing is, most cannabis user's and supporters tend to just fall into the "Michael Moore" mentality and seem to think that's the way to go. Truly misguided and sad.
