if you're looking for a pro-cannabis choice you're not gonna find it. there are far too many bigger items on the table for them to start openning up that can of worms.

1.the republicans don't give a flying fuck about your rights or anyone else's. they are perfectly happy with the status quo on the issue of drug legalization.

2.these are just politicians we're talking about here. they are more than willing to sacrifice their own mothers to push through the legislations that are dear to their hearts.

3.only mainstream issues are helped or hindered by mixing religion into the pot and legalization is not seen as a mainstream issue.

4.consuming cannabis or any other substance is of no harm to anyone and the government should never have stuck its nose in in the first place, but my views on that are obvious and well documented on this and other sites. believe me, you don't want to get me started on that subject.

5.time heals all wounds. if you expect ignorance to be overcome quickly you're bound to be sorely disappointed. it's taken many years to build this wall of intolerance around the usage of a simple herb and it will take many more to reverse the lies and half-truths that have been planted in people's minds.

republicans are too caught up in enforcing their version of morality and democrats are too concerned with saving us from ourselves with meaningless regulations and social programs. neither of these ideologies is conducive to an atmosphere of tolerance for the foibles of the few.

without a viable third party i think you'd best just keep your plants well hidden and your bong in a locked cupboard.
