Politicians listen to votes and money. That's really it. If you want cannabis to remain legal, it's absolutely vital that your voice and your vote be heard.
well there is more to it than that otherwise they would be waving peace signs vote for me i support mj ill make it legal. the feds have held their stance of no medical benefit keeping it in the category with heroin, meth and the like depite the AMA saying it does have medicinal properties. the only way for change is through education. truthfully we wouldnt have gotten this far without people showing other people that it doesnt harm anyone. anti-drug campaigns have actually helped our cause because people start to see these idiots as liars not public servants right now we are on the 50 yard line and more and more people who believed said lies
will change their minds through education. if i could afford tv commercials i would drill this country day in day out with a positive marijuana campaign. maybe start a gameshow called "guess whos the stoner" to show people you can be a responsible mj user we do have jobs,families, friends, we do support our troops, we're not losers...we are Americans who want our right to consume mj returned to us. i constantly correct and challenge people on their ignorant statements, however i realize its not their fault. they have no interest in it, so they believe what any God fearing American would do, trust their gov, their media and their friends who were told the same thing. i think if norml could pool enough money they could buy a superbowl slot for an ad. we are half the damn world if we cant get this done now we never will. the place to start is not with our corrupted, brainwashed, sellout politicians who own prison stocks its with your everday joe shmoe who reaches for an unhealthy alternative called alcohol after a hard day of work or what about that extremely repressed couple that lives and breathes the Bible but didnt know they could have had a vigorous sex life after a couple of hits from God's gift to man. these people are who need education. THATS HOW THEY DID IT TO US, THATS HOW IT WAS ILLEGALIZED IN THE FIRST PLACE...PROPAGANDA. PEOPLE GOT WEALTHY ILLEGALIZING IT AND NOW PROFIT FROM IT STAYING ILLEGAL. LETS DO IT BACK TO THEM...PROPAGANDA.
