A Vote on LEGALIZING POT

[Lester Burnham]

Hey Everyone, I live up in Alaska. The cannibis laws up here are kinda complicated. Medical pot here is legalized. It is legal for an adult to posses up to 4 ounces in their house but buying or selling is illegal. This November though there is a proposition on the ballet to legalize the purchase of Marijuana. It would be controlled much like alchohol is now. I've even seen several commercials supporting this prop. I don't know how much of a chance this prop has of passing..... but legalization has to start somewhere. I also don't know who the Feds will handle this either since the laws would contradict themselves even more than they already do here. I just thought people should know it just might happen!

Lester,

It could. Alaska seems to be in the forefront of personal rights. It's a good start. Best wishes for your hopefully soon success.

Hey Lester, Doc and everyone.... :-)

We are trying to Legalize Cannabis in Canada at this time as well... Congratulations for being so Educated this far !!!

At the moment I am one of almost 800 people in the Country with the LEGAL right to smoke and grow my own Marijuana up to my limit on my Prescription of 12-20 grams a day. I purchase off the street alot as the strain the helps a nasty pain in my face is very difficult to get otherwise...This will change once we LEGALIZE.

I still can't figure out why Alaska seems to be open minded about pot, yet is considered a "Red State" and is considered to be conservative. What gives? I hope the bill passes, but as you note, the Federal govt will not be happy about it, and Ass-croft is likely to try and stop it somehow...

I do hope Canada does legalize it...but there again, the US is trying to stop a soverign nation make up it's own mind and to have it's own laws...

True conservatives who believe in the Constitution, individual rights, balanced budgets, etc.

And the neo-conservative, commie-nazi types who believe in the opposite, but proclaim to believe in the former to get votes.

Alaskans, and most other Republicans, are the former, but don't realize the extent to which their party has been taken over by the later.

The polls show that there is a very good chance that Alaska will become the first state to legalize marijuana and regulate it like alcohol.

Libertarians believe the most in the Constitution compared to the either of the two mainstream parties. They believe the following:

In crafting the Bill of Rights, the framers carefully acknowledged two key truths:
1. The first is that government does not grant rights-it acknowledges them
2. The second is that government is a servant to whom we delegate powers, not a master who dispenses privileges

Not too surprizing Alaska has this vote on the ballot, from what I heard Michael Badnarik (Libertarian candiate for President) is pretty high (no pun intended) on the polls there. Let's hope (and pray) that the drug reform can start in Alaska and spread to every state in the US!!!!
