Obama plays down overwhelming support for Marijuana.

not unless smokers suddenly become violent like alcoholics did in the prohibition days.

"not unless smokers suddenly become violent like alcoholics did in the prohibition days."

No, not until we ALL get off our lazy arses and speak up! :thumbsup: There are one heck of a lot of cannabis users! What would happen if we ALL start writing to our politicians? You get enough letters coming in and even a prohibitionist politician will pay attention! Those "good ol' boys" LIKE their cushy jobs and will do whatever is necessary to keep it! Let them know their jobs are on the line! Or are you just too busy getting stoned?

And have you told Obama what you think today? :thumbsup: :wtf: :stoned: Tell it like it is, baby!

As the great generation and the baby boomers concede power, watch marijuana laws begin to be rethought. In the meantime, half the state of Florida thinks cannabis is a gateway drug that causes cancer and destroys brain cells.

I am 55 years old, I use marijuana everyday to control chronic nausea and vomiting from Diabetic Neuropathic Gastroparesis. I live in Iowa, smack dab in the Midwest where pig feces and methane/methamphetamine rule and marijuana is as strong as heroin, HA and you think they grow good weed in Ca., Or., and Amsterdam. But in Iowa even the "Ditchweed" left over from WWII is as strong as Heroin, just ask Sen Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and he will tell you in writing that that is the truth. I am with StormCrow, this just means we need to speak louder. The illegalization of marijuana makes as much sense as Slavery did. But remember the people for slavery were willing to go to war with their country just so they could keep their laws. It took over 100 years for congress to decide that women have the intellectual capacity to make an informed intelligent decision thus deserving the right to vote. There are still people living today who would vote "NO" on marijuana legalization simply because they are a product of our government's "Reefer Madness" propaganda days. Marijuana WILL be legal someday when all the "Reefer Madness" people are dead (about 10 years.) Just keep on growin, using and become an email pest to your local Senators and Representatives regarding Medical Marijuana/Marijuana legalization. Both my local Senators know who I am and that there exists no drug, other than marijuana, that safely and effectively controls chronic nausea and vomiting from which I suffer from. The biggest problem, besides prison of course, with marijuana being illegal is the outragous price put on this prolific weed. Nobody on disability. like me, can afford real Medical Marijuana unless you grow it. Good grief real Medical Marijuana goes for $20 a gram here while good schwag is $100 an ouce. It use to be $62.50 four months ago. We need to contact our local politicians to change marijuana laws statewide then we can go after the greedy, theiving politicians who are against Marijuana Legalization! Peace and keep up the good fight :thumbsup::smokin::stoned:

Thanks StormCrow, I agree with you this just means we need to continue our fight to legalize marijuana, especially Medical Marijuana. I am going to Obama's site now to express my extreme displeasure IN SPADES!!! Keep up the good fight...Peace...:thumbsup:

write a hand written letter to your Senator and ask to make weed free

[delusionsofNORMALity]

What do you guys think? Will it EVER become legal like alcohol did?

government's job is the restricting of our liberties, not the expansion of our rights. as government grows so grows the number of restrictions on the population and our bureaucracy is growing by leaps and bounds. as we enter this next phase of more restrictive laws, don't hope that this nonsensical prohibition will somehow buck the tide of our government's totalitarian tendencies.

What would happen if we ALL start writing to our politicians?

their trash bins would begin to overflow.

the voters are important only as long as their wishes are in the best interest of the bureaucracy. our cries for enhanced liberty will continue to go unheeded, while our demands that further restrictions be put on the actions of others will be gladly obeyed. each time y'all vote in a law that lessens the freedom of others, you are pounding another nail in the coffin of your own freedom and strengthening those uncaring political animals you have so foolishly handed your power to.

I have sent yet another letter to the "chump". As follows: I voted for Obama with the belief that a desire for change was a truthful statement. Instead it is clear it was a "con" same as all the liars before him. I had hoped this would not be the case and we would finally get a president that had enough common sense to see many clear alternatives to many injustices perpetrated on good hard working americans and put a stop to it!! One of many issues I refer to is the legalization/decriminalizatrion of medical cannibis. It is a sad state of affairs when such an overwhelming number of "Joe" americans express their distain for this clear infringement on Americans basic rights. God, the same one refered to on all of our currency and declarations, said he gave man EVERY seed bearing plant on the face of the earth for our use. It is not up to any man to decide for another which one he is or is not permitted to use. Genesis 1:29 could not have been more clear. To jail anyone that fully believes in and follows gods word in it's entirety is no different than tortureing a man because that is most certainly what he will get while there. Soo many families and small innocent children are needlessly suffering and dieing every day while Govt pisses away valuable rescources on soo many comparetively insignificant issues based on ignorent, inaccurate, politicaly feuled propaganda. Our own Govt studies, University as well as studies by pharmaseudical companies de-bunks that nonsense every day and has for decades, yet this travesty continues. Instead Govt backs big ciggarette corporation that their own studies prove their product most definately kills millions of people every year. To give backing to a corp to take another plant god created for us and add very noxious and known dangerous poisonous chemicals to their product to increase profit as well as force further addiction is more than criminal and unjust. I am amoungst millions that feel this way and believe this conduct is paralell with killing men women and children by Govts own hands. Since our Govt. clearly condones this conduct, why not just go ahead and main-stream the killing and oppresion that many Govt. policies cause and allow, why not just start up some "death camps" so the blood can be seen on the hands of the cowardice policy makers, by all of America. I, amongst millions that believe in gods word, the Constitution, and the common sense he gave us, will continue to follow both, reguardless of Govt. policy and oppression, just as history has shown. Same as over seas, you are not and never will win this war. Mr. Obama, prove you love this country, stand up like a proud American man, if indeed that is what you are, and put this "change" you spoke soo much about where it is morally sound. If the "regular Joe" can come up with more appropriate policy, then surely you and your team can do so as well. Please do not push these important issues to the side as you will only cause further contemt for this Govt. by the very people that put you where you are. This feed is probably not checked or even linked to a Govt. office but I will continue to pile on these letters anyway....thanks for the reminder Granny.
