You changed a few peoples minds, don't get me wrong-that's good, but the government changed 200,000 peoples minds today with a commercial they showed. See my point? I've said it time and time again on this board, it comes down to money, MARIJUANA WILL NEVER BE LEGAL IN THE UNITED STATES. Money drives this country, why would any government that's driven by money legalize something that will COST them money? Simple, they won't ever do it, period.
I think it's because of people like you that marijuana isn't legal. You see it as a war that is lost, so there is no reason fighting and that is the worst thing you can do. You are what the DEA wants, people who think they control us and can tell us what to do. You've ruined the idea of democracy because you let the government tell you what you can and can not smoke. It's your fault it's illegal not the government's or their money... you give them their money and tell them what to vote for. Politicians are SERVENTS and untill YOU understand that we will never have legalized marijuana. But if you wake the fuck up and realize that we choose who governs us we can change what they feel.

Look at immigration - no one gave a shit a week ago... but 300,000 people march for one week and over %50 of americans think it's a big deal. They want congress to address it this week. It's moved up that fast because of people who understand that they run our country not our officials. It's sad when Mexicans understand the power of democracy more than we do.

There is a Million Marijuana March (global Marijuana March) in one month. I will bet that if we manage to get 500,000 people to march in just the US people will talk about it. Get 1,000,000 and it'll change things... But I know that a lot of people won't make that stand because they think we've lost the war and there is no hope for marijuana... well i just hope for you that once it becomes legal everyone who doubted it's legalization and smokes should not be allowed to use it.

You are the worst part about the drug war... it's easy to tell someone who doesn't smoke that they have been lied to... but when someone that smokes still has doubt in the power of cannabis you are either grossly uneducated about the subject, or a bigger hypocryte than the government that forces these laws...
