Talk is cheap. I want action and that requires political courage. And the Democratic power structure benefits as much from prohibition as does the Republican power structure.

If you are an issue voter and cannabis is your issue, you don't have a home in either major party.
I could not agree with you more John. The ONDCP is never going to go away unless all proponents start a grass roots movement like Obama did. We all need to start influencing our representatives and fighting the good fight until we prevail. I know it can be done....and in my lifetime.
