WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION NOW! A SUBCOMMITTEE OF OUR NATION'S REPRESENTATIVES ARE CURRENTLY REVIEWING HOUSE RESOLUTION 499: THE ENDING MARIJUANA PROHIBITION ACT OF 2013.
COMMENTS WITH KEY INFORMATION:
This is a REVOLUTIONARY bill that will END an extremely worn-out and FAILED prohibition of our trees.
GLOBAL COMMISSION ON DRUG POLICY REPORT, June 2011
This same report is available in many languages and listed below.

• We can use POPVOX
  
  POPVOX bridges the gap between the input the public wants to provide and the information Members of Congress want and need to receive. Designed by people who understand Congress, POPVOX is different from other political sites. It is not a discussion forum. It is a place for action. For more about the site, see About POPVOX or Why It Works.
  ​
• WE CAN WORK WITH NORML
  
  NORML's mission is to move public opinion sufficiently to achieve the repeal of marijuana prohibition so that the responsible use of cannabis by aduls is no longer subject to penalty.
  ​

NORML ACTION ALERT
NORML is an AMAZING organization and we MUST do our VERY BEST to get as much help from them as possible. They have the ability to reach out to many, MANY people that can help our cause and increase our numbers!

• WE CAN CONTACT OUR REPRESENTATIVES!!! THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT

When contacting your representatives you must keep in mind that the representatives of YOUR district are TOP PRIORITY. Contact them in every way possible and make sure everyone you know that cares about legalizing trees is contacting them too!
Other than that, it is important to raise awareness so others can contact these representatives!
PLEASE READ THE EDITS AT THE END OF THIS POST AS THEY OFFER VALUABLE INFORMATION REGARDING OUR CAUSE
HERE ARE ALL THE SUBCOMMITTEE MEMBERS AND MANY, MANY WAYS TO CONTACT EACH!!!

You realise that adds a "permit required" status to growing, distributing and importing cannabis?

Good to see you support the corporate takeover of cannabis.

You are so dumb, you are really dumb, for real.

13 co-sponsors is good and this issue can drive the Repubs back into Senate control, also. Just a sub-committee.

That's how bills are killed. The big problem is we have International Treaties where we promised, more or less, to not do this.

It's better than the NO GROWING ALLOWED policy we have today. And just because you need a permit doesn't mean only the corporations can grow, in the early 1900's marijuana was a permit only crop, yet it was grown like crazy all over Kentucky and plenty of other southern states, by permitted farmers.

But our international treaties are with counties that love drugs. ALL countries love drugs (They make MONEY), they just pretend not to so America will be their friend. If America flip flops, everyone will be down to sign a new treaty.

Yeah, cos lobbyists just do their job for satisfaction and magical rainbows.

The permits should've been left to the States...

No, "we" didn't promise anything. Other people made these promises. Why do you follow these people that enslave others? Fuck them.

Although I would like very much for Prohibition of MJ to end. I won't support this since it really doesn't have a chance of becoming law now. I would rather see bills being put forth that works towards decriminalization and that have chance of passing. Like getting it out of the same drug class as narcotics opiates, cocaine Since its clearly NOT a schedule I substance by the definitions for Schedule I. This might even be court challengeable.

It's been challenged before. The game is rigged.

If you don't already know about it, please consider learning about JURY NULLIFICATION, you could save somebodies life. FIJA and NHJURY.com have websites explaining how a single JUROR can keep a person out of prison.

What you are saying is new treaties will need to be signed or actually the existing amended. So, what do you think it costs to put these Treaty motions in gear after the big State of CA was the first to ban it in the first place?

I don't mean money, I mean the Capital of our Standing....not much to me in this regard, but...to the decision makers, a horror idea....

And as Neutron(?) mentioned the treaties are enabling the entire war on drugs. The treaties go deep into sharing of bank records and more than that. Databases....interlocking security arrangement. All the sausage factory we want to ignore.

It took years and more States before the world could heel to our will of stopping the import of drugs....all back in the 20s.

And you are dreaming. Even Netherlands won't support this. The conservative govt is because of the Euro trash, like our counter culture, linking pot to the worst kind of vapid, don't give a shit, stupidity. No wonder the current govt is cracking down.

Where else do you think they love ganja again? It's tolerated in India. It's death for trafficking in Burma. Afgan and Pakistan?

These treaties mean we put up BBBBBBillions a week, in high tech gear for the War, going to all these countries.

I just can't imagine what you are thinking. All countries lose if we stop worrying about pot. And then cocaine will be shipped in the Pot bags.

I think all countries HATE the idea of youth running about drolling on cannabis....thanks to the propaganda of the USA.

And South America? The Catholic Church.....no way.

no craft a bill which can be accepted by people that are dead set against legalization, so that the bill won't die prematurely.
Then you might have something worth fighting for.

He was missing the "carrot on the stick".

Its still a stupid idea to leave the permits to the Federalis, someone needs to draft a bill that literally just removes cannabis from the CSA. It can still be controlled in their state if they want.
