you make me cry... you're the reason democracy doesn't work... and you still don't understand that.

Congress makes the laws - we elect congress - we make the laws

IF you don't vote for who you want, nothing will change.

IF you do vote it will change.

Marijuana is legal for medical use in 11 states and many other cities around the us have decrimed it. In November Nevada and Colorado both have statewide legaliztion bills (NV almost passed 4 years ago). Loretta Nall is running for governor of Alamaba - Leading member of the U.S. Marijuana party. There have been officials in governtment that want it legal -

On September 6, 1988, the Drug Enforcement Administration's Chief Administrative Law Judge, Francis L. Young, ruled: "Marijuana, in its natural form, is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known....[T]he provisions of the [Controlled Substances] Act permit and require the transfer of marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule II. It would be unreasonable, arbitrary and capricious for the DEA to continue to stand between those sufferers and the benefits of this substance." - Source: US Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Agency, "In the Matter of Marijuana Rescheduling Petition," [Docket #86-22] (September 6, 1988), p. 57.


* Biblical - Genesis 1:29 "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."

"Congress should definitely consider decriminalizing possession of marijuana... We should concentrate on prosecuting the rapists and burglars who are a menace to society." Dan Quayle U.S. Representative and Vice president under President Bush March 1977

"Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marihuana in private for personal use... Therefore, I support legislation amending Federal law to eliminate all Federal criminal penalties for the possession of up to one ounce [28g] of marihuana." Jimmy Carter U.S. President Message to congress 1977

"Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves." Ronald Reagan U.S. President

Annual drug deaths: tobacco: 395,000, alcohol: 125,000, 'legal' drugs: 38,000, illegal drug overdoses: 5,200, marijuana: 0. Considering government subsidies of tobacco, just what is our government protecting us from in the drug war?
--Ralph Nader

Is that not good enough for you? Do you need more cause I can get them?? It's not that the politicans don't want to legalize it... it's that no one voting cares about it. You don't think that if 5 million people said we'll vote for you if you legalize marijuana not one would try to legallize it?? You're an idoit otherwise. They don't make our laws because they shit it out one day and think it's a good idea... they make laws inwhich they believe people will vote for them and keep them in office and if marijuana smokers sit asdie and believe that thier vote counts less than anyone elses and will cause no change then hell no it won't become legal... but if morons like you wake the fuck up and realize that it doesn't take a billion people to change something it will happen.

It takes 3-5 people to change a cities status on marijuana... but you'll never understand that untill you understand democracy, perhaps you should read our declaration (written on 100% hemp) and constitution before you debate on how our country runs. Just because we have a tyrant in office doesn't mean this is how American is spose to be. You must realize that as well.
