Shit like this makes my future plans completely justified...
Florida businessman Mel Sembler, along with his wife Betty, have given 95%, $151,497, of the total funding to an anti-marijuana group called Smart Colorado who are against an amendment to legalize and regulate marijuana in the state of CO for people over 21;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorad...ment_64_(2012)
"Colorado Amendment 64 is an amendment to the Article 18 of the Colorado state constitution. Section 3 would allow the "personal use and regulation of marijuana" for adults 21 and over. Section 4 addresses legal commercial cultivation, manufacture, and sale. The intent is that marijuana be regulated in a manner similar to alcohol."

You want ppl to get enraged because this guy is putting money towards something he believes in..
You should probably watch that clip I posted in the OP before you make so many assumptions.
The situation is very similar to the private prison industry.
I wonder if good ol' Mel would still feel the same way if he didn't own and operate any "drug rehabilitation" centers...

I'm not fully engorged semi maybe
Or maybe he truly believes marijuana to be a problem. Did you ever think of that possibility?
Watch the clip, that's not the reason
and even if it was, who the hell is Mel Sembler to tell anyone what to do with their own body?
He's free to believe whatever he want's, but he has the money behind him to ensure legal consequences for anyone who breaks drug laws and make a quick buck while he's doing it, and I don't think that's right.

What if I owned and operated a similar institution and America went back to the old prohibition days, think Mel would have something to say about that?
But with cannabis it's OK..
Not to mention the treatment of it's occupants and even people who don't use drugs at all had been sent there when they were still in operation.

He'd have the right to oppose you whether he was successful or not..
