bingo. 10 char...

This may be so, but at least we are seeing plausible initiatives being introduced. It is high time (LOL) that these politicians got off of their lazy lobyist money taking asses and voted the will of the people.

It is legal in several states mainly in the west but Michigan in November is up for a vote for decriminalization. What is being discussed here is for the whole United States. I don't see it happening for the whole country anytime soon. Here in New York several years ago we voted on Medical marijuana. It passed by a overwhelming majority. When the then governor heard of this he said he would prosecute if anyone was found to be prescribing and or distributing and using. To the full extent of the law. One other thing everyyear there are bills of this nature. Last election Maurice Hinchey put a bill like this in. Like all the others it stalls and dies from lack of support.

Politicians are afraid of this issue. We need to be writing our politicans and letting them know what we support and why we support it. If they know we support something they are going to do what they need to do to get re-elected. If not, don't re-elect.

Here is a link to email your congressman about this issue.

Not this time around,

Go to the gov web site and check out who voted yes or no, you might be surprised. I looked it up and found EVERY one of those idiot from around my area voted against this measure!

In other words they all said 'FUC* YOU constituents, 'I' don't care about STATE LAW it doesn't really matter! 'I' don't believe in MMJ like the voters that elected me, so I'll vote to continue to waste Federal funds imprisoning those that voted for me!"


Well next time around maybe we should all say right back at 'em! It would be kinda cool to be able to prosecute a politician for treason against the state they represent when they vote for Federal laws that oppose State Laws... (well maybe there could be some problems with that one but you know what I am saying, scare the shi* out of politicians that vote for their pocketbooks instead of their constituents).

Thought there might be some interest in this link to an op-ed about the upcoming vote on the Hinchey-Rohrabacher amendment. This would be a great time for interested parties to get some letters to Congress, whichever way they (the writers) lean on this issue.


Focus Alert

Slowly but surely the country as a whole will come around. This is an archaic "oldschool" law originally intended to stop the flow of Mexicans into the country at the start of the depression.Everyone realizes that but right now, politically the moods not condusive for change. I think when the tail end of the boomer generation gets into their 60's, you'll see a total decriminalization. So 15-20 yrs from now it will be a non issue. Right now too many legislators either are or we're influenced by the good ole boy network....the one to the far right and to them its still an evil weed. Regan really made it look bad in his days. If it weren't for him and his "just say no" war i think we'd be alot further along with removing the stigma. everything else aside Obama is a step in the right direction as far as the mood he will set. Amazes me how some of these judges can hammer people the way they do over weed. Seems to me to be an outdated and almost cruel law.
