NORML spokesmans question).He beleives giving our tax dollars to the rich and irrisponsable a good idea but feels we the people should not have the right to vote on something this big and over priced. IT IS TIME BROTHERS AND SISTERS MY FELLOW COUNTRY MEN TO STAND UP TO THOSE IN POWER AND SAY NO WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH THIS IS OUR COUNTRY NOT THE POLITICAL ELITES PERSONAL KINGDOM, THAT IS OUR COMUNITYS MONEY NOT YOURS TO THROUGH AWAY.

VIVA REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone said weed is not just the number one issue, but that it's the only issue. I wholeheartedly agree. While it should be the #1 priority it isn't number one, maybe not number one when you don't have a medical problem that it helps with.
You'd be letting alot of important shit slide if you let people suffer in the nursing homes, and everywhere else, and in prison.
We shouldn't even be voting on our rights to freedom of choice. We should all be free. This IS the number one issue. Restoring our constitutional rights, and imprisoning those who wronged us. That's the only issue ya should focus on as a president. That and ending all wars. It is not the presidents job to go around and pick fights with our neighbors. If ya voted for someone only for their pot position regardless of their other plans, e.g. voting for paul. That would leave us completely war free, and happy and out of national debp, and all would be ok with the world. But no. YOu prohibitionists leave us all fucked exept for pot states that have pot laws protecting medical pot.
Legalize today mr president. Invoke your executive orders, and veto powers. Say no to prohibition! Prohibition alone is responsible for all wars in the first place. The narco trade has dc up in arms.

Someone said weed is not just the number one issue, but that it's the only issue. I wholeheartedly disagree. While it should be a priority it isn't number one, maybe number one when you have nothing to do, but how often does that happen? You'd be letting alot of important shit slide if that's the only issue ya focused on as a president, or if ya voted for someone only for their pot position regardless of their other plans, e.g. voting for paul. That would leave us completely fucked exept for pot laws, which would likely be changed back when his successor tries to piece the country back together after everyone votes against him in his incumbant election for wrecking the place.

Actually, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGO

Tells more about the NGO

Lets face. Its criminal what dc is doing. War. More war. Intrusion. Confiscation. Wire taps. Detectives. Smearing the good folks. Spying. Lying. Proviking. Inciting. Ignoring of the constitution. Ignoring the bill of rights.

Hard to respect scum like that.

A real President could veto the scum who tries to retake our rights away.

The President is the Commander in Chief. So he can invoke an executive order to stop himself?

And he can only really do that in times of national crisis, like during wartime. Which I guess we technically have been in for several years now, but with a 2/3 majority Congress can override him anyway. It's important to have his support, but it's even more important to have theirs.

Well, some people are forgetting that the president CAN envoke an Executive Order instantly changing any laws the Commander & Chief desires. No votes. No waiting.

Well, unfortunately, some folks might be forgetting that the president doesn't make the laws, Congress does. He can introduce all the legislation he wants, but he's not the deciding vote.

We should all be naturally free. Go read our Constitution...if it weren't for the wrong people misinterpreting it all the time, we'd be a lot better off.

Put this in your postcard to the president

The 5 F's of cannabis legalization.


Legalize it for



Pharma,food,fibre,fuel and FUN!

Is that a bumper sticker or what?

Send the 5 F's to:

President Obama
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
washington, D.C. 20500

A pesidential order WOULD do it.

Freedom should never be voted on. We should all naturaly be free. This is the usa you know. Or have you forgotten?

the war on drugs is the funding devise for terrorist,opium in afganistan marijuanna funds 75 percent of mexican drug cartells revenue. the truth is the goverment wants drug violence to spread across the border so that more rights , gun control, freedom of speach, freedon of religion, can be taken away, as we march toward dictatorship. under the last administration we lost our property, immeniant domain in the last suprem court. loss of habeas corporus, torture approved. warrentless wiretap, search with out warrents, come on . the goverent knows that a whole host of problems could be relieved through legalization, but they want dictatship.

1977 people were telling me that weed will be legalized by the tome you are 21, HU. Carter was president and saying " penalties for possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug it's self." Aug 2 1977

It didnt happen then. Worth noting the country was in a financial wreck much as it today. Then we got Regan and progress went backward at least 20 years. Obama aint saying anything close to what Carter said. So excuse me for not having any confidence in " it's comming" or words to that affect.

Do parties just happen,or do you make them happen?

Keep the fire under Obama and congress ass. Weed is not only the most important issue. IT IS THE ONLY ISSUE!!!

Demand Legalization Today! Write your congress-critter

Once again, like I expected, someone took something I said and interpreted it to mean that I don't care about sick people who need medicine...

That's not true. More medical bills are coming up in states all the time, and these days most of them are passing. This is great news, and I'm glad to see that the Feds are beginning to see the light!

However, the question I was actually addressing was the outright taxation and legalization issue nationwide. As much as we all want to see it happen, and soon, right now isn't the time something like this would pass. If Obama were to introduce that legislation right now, the public would jump all over him because "Don't you care about the economy, unemployment, etc.?" and not only would the bill not pass in this current climate, but Obama would pretty much doom himself to be a one-termer and a lame duck president by introducing something some in the government would term frivolous at this time. You can't undo 62 years of prohibition in your first three months in office and not expect some backlash.

All I'm saying is that once things settle down a little bit in Obama's presidency, he'll have time to look at this seriously. I don't think he was laughing at the idea of legalization, but the question the way it was asked. If someone were to ask you if legalizing marijuana would fix the economy, you could say it'd help, but there are many other things at work too. The fact that he even brought up the question on television is more than any previous president would have done. Just give it time...we've waited this long, after all.

So not "poor Mr. Obama." I don't pity the guy at all, I just don't think this would pass yet. Get a few more states on the medical bandwagon, fix some other looming problems, and we could see it in a year or two. I hope...

look at this question objectively, "Should the U.S. legalize pot as a way to grow jobs and stimulate the economy?", now picture instead if the question was "Should the U.S. legalize the growing of non-psychoactive hemp for biofuel, and as a way to grow jobs and stimulate the economy?" or something similar. Try to say that it doesn't make more sense.

Anyone who knows anything about hemp knows that it has countless uses, and almost limitless potential for economic growth if it were grown and utilized industrially by this country, this is the "green" solution we have been looking for to replace fossil fuels, and the "green" technology the Obama stated he'd spend 15 billion dollars to create and fund. Not convinced that hemp is important? I got two words for you, "biodegradeable plastic." Those "forever in a landfill" plastic bottles replaced with biodegradable hemp plastic is a huge step tward enviormental protection, now imagine if all plastics from now on were biodegradeable, and all grown in the US? That is some serious economic growth right there. Not to mention hemp paper that doesn't require harsh chemicals to turn white, reducing chemical runoff into lakes and rivers, hemp cloths that don't fall apart and disintigrate like cotton does, and all the products we use fossil fuels for instead being made with hemp seed oil. THAT is economic growth and THAT is ending the oil dependancy problem. And THAT is what we should bring to the new presidents attention. Are you guys listening? Because this is important info to spread around. Look it up, it's all true.

The FIRST thing any parent would do is take care of their sick children. Obama is pretty much saying he doesn't care about those people in need of cannabis in states that forbids it.

tell that to people in need of the medical benefit of cannabis. Aww. Poor Mr Obama.

I'm sure I'm going to get flamed for this by all the people who read two words they don't like and then verbally assault other posters, but I just want to point out a couple of things:

First of all, let's remember that Barack Obama has been president for about two months, give or take a little bit.

Let's also remember that marijuana has been illegal since 1937, and yes, legalization is coming, but it's probably going to take a little while.

Obama's got a few other problems to fix first...I can't blame him for taking the state of the economy a little more seriously than legalizing weed at the moment. Still, the fact that the general public is this interested in legalization this time around, plus the fact that this seems like the first president in a while who might listen rationally to an argument, means we're probably on the right path.

And come on folks...the anti-legalization people are doing everything they can to divide us and make us fail. Who cares what color anybody is? They're a human being just like you, and they like their ganja just as much as you like yours. The more we get together, the better front we present, and the sooner we win. So quit the name-calling, the racial slurs, and the complaining, because it's counterproductive. Go vote, join Norml or the MPP. Do something proactive for our cause, or you will forever be whining about how much you wish it was legal, instead of enjoying it when it is.

i think the main reason Marijuana is not legal is the goverment and people who run this country seem to think they cant make money off it cause it wont kill any one like alcahol tabacoo or dr perscribed drugs do its there way of poplation controll buy having these things out look how many people a year die using all these legal substances id love to see 1 person in a year or million years that has ever died form Marijuana USE !!!!

2012?

Thank GOD for Gerald Celente !!!

I'm glad that these issues are being brought to the attention of citizens threw the media as of late, im so tired of these "Above the Influence" ads being run daily that portray pot smokers as slow, dumb no bodies that waste their lives, I'm a daily smoker and a keep a job that requires i be there 6 days a week; I've never missed a day of work because Im "to stoned" to get out of bed, I have missed work because of still intoxicated from a prior night of drinking alcohol. I live in Miami, FL til this day im still waiting to catch a news report of an Under The Influence of Cannabis Induced Fatality while driving, i bet i can check the obituaries and find at least (1) alcohol related death weekly here in south florida. The President's recent online town hall meeting was smack in the face to all of us that voted for him and belived in his "CHANGE". Mr.President make a Change or we'll make it for you in 2012!

to check it out,
Hahaha Dewwbo the Wonder Tard ! LOL , Thats some funny stuff .

What about cases from womans sufferage? Slavery? AlcoholProhibition? Certianly there is case law of reperations made, to cite in support of this claim. These points were made by another poster, though I dont recall which article.
Provided the claim survived Summary judgement. It would still have to fly in front of a jury in order to obtain monetary damages. A long shot at best.
Provided you can find an attorney to persue it for you. Another real long shot.

President Obama is just in denial. With our continued intervention we can get him on the road to recovery.

Just got to get him down to Step # 10. Have the government hes running take an an honest invetory of their irrational and destructive behavior's. Then promptly admit that they are wrong.

See how that treatment crap can cut both ways.
Drug Courts=Star Chambers

Norml and mpp donations up by over 400% since he laughed

Marijuana was not against the law at first,it was heavily taxed,and in order to get it,you had to have a tax stamp.
The law was enacted be cause Mexican workers were pouring over the border and bringing pot with them to use as bartering for
food and lodging. It was also lobbied against by the cotton
and pulp paper companies because both were protecting their market,hemp was starting to take a bite out of their pockets
and it was the same then as now,money talks,and shit walks.

We won't get anywhere unless we pull together. In tug of war, if we don't all pull together and at the same time, no chance of gaining any ground.
So who gives a flying fuck what the haters say, if Mr Boyers is onto something, the only way to see if the seeds will germinate is to broadcast the seeds of knowlege, and see what grows out of it.

to ????????,

It obvious ya won't find ANY cases yet.

to check it out. why

Back in the 1930's it took a bunch of narrow minded uninformed old men to implement the prohibition laws, it's going to take a well informed group of younger open minded men to help Ron Paul & Barney Frank reinstall our Constitutional Freedoms.PEACE

yea , certainly looks that way . Anonymity brings out the stupid in some individuals . I notice he feels picked on ?

Go to story "Phelps Talks to NBC About Pot Pipe Pic "
down to Mar 3 5:55 pm Comment from "Baltimore Fred " and watch how he curses and throws profanity at what he knew was a little old lady . Read comments up till today .
Let him know how you feel about that.

You make it sound like suing is easy.
can ya cite any cases for these "reperations"
cases that involved a monetary award and not just remedy compelling the government to act one way or the other?
ya got the cart before the horse. There is reason to sue now.

There are so many people who have been harmed by this law that its impossible for the legislature to change the law because it would bankrupt the government. There would be millions and millions of claims that would have to be paid.

Obama was laughing out of nervousness. The feds & obama are clearly afraid they'll be sued for compensation after legalizing. Pot can never really be legalized unless we make a consession of having a solution for reparations. Its very simple. We have to make an offer, and we can do that through an injunction. We can file that through a class action suit, or we can file it through an interveaner with the courts.
Now to address the liability issues, we can make the position that the pot industry could levy a charge on it to pay these damages.

We are at whats called a tort in law. The tort is the government has to legalize it, but they can't cause they can't afford the liability. A tort is where one idea conflicts with another and the whole marijuana issue is nothing but one giant tort, because the government can't get out of it. Its sad to say but they can't, and they can't pass a law saying we passed a law that legalizes pot, and we the government aren't paying any damages. The government can't do that. Lawfully, they can't do that. But the marijuana community "we" can make an offer to pay damages to the people who suffered in the marijuana community, and the biggest thing we can do is hire them. If a guy went to jail for growing, give him a job at a grow op when he gets out. If a guy got busted selling pot, give him a job selling pot through the clubs. That would be the best thing we could do to those who have suffered hardship is give them a job. It would be the number one reparation that you could do to everyone of the people who have suffered. Everybody that broke the law, did so because its a bad law.

yeah and they should make the commercials funny or at least intriguing!

fuck obama! liein piece of shit

speaking of the truth, has anybody ever seen the truth commercials on tv about ciggarettes? They are the commercials with some weird factoid about ciggarettes and/or ciggarette company owner quotes. My question is, how difficult would it be for NORML to organize a group to make similar commercials for TV or YOUTUBE with great facts about cannabis, the government, and the drug war?

I realize that most local tv stations wont allow commercials advocating marijuana especially those in states without mmj laws. But does Cali ever have pro-mmj commercials on tv? Also, youtube would be a great place to put such videos. NORML, think about it!!!

Well it is all about the money-here in humboldt nor cal,$15.00 dollars a gram at the state legal co-op-well on the Arcata plaza same variety free market 2-5 dollars a gram-some thing funny and it aint da weed mon.

It's a sensitive issue... if you do something out of line they say"see,druggies,they're crazy"
you have to take your lumps,be cool and crush 'em with the truth.shear numbers in support does help a hell of a lot.stay motivated...educate everyone around you to the facts.

I think that maybe the only way to REALLY bring attention to the issue would be to do a nation or world wide protest.

Mobilize, set a date, gather a VERY BIG crowd in front of city halls, governor's houses, sheriff offices, etc... smoke a joint right under their faces, and don't offer resistance to being arrested.

What will they do? Arrest hundreds of thousands of people in a single day? Maybe even over a million of 2 people? And if they do, don't you think that would cause a nation wide uproar against those arrests?

So hard on heide hoe.

She is correct that this american drug war was goaded on by the use of racisist tales in congress in 1937.

However I would have thought that the new president of change would be aware of this and by all means play the race card. Shit anything to end our longest war against ourselves.

That said.

Say Miss heide hoe. sit on down a spell and smoke some of this while i tell ya some about an old redhead blueeyed whiteboy's world wide womanizin. O.K. I will leave out thailand, vietnam, mexico, bahamas(many wild flavors there), Jamacia.

Back in late 70's and just out o the marines. I was back in my home town. was at a musical gathering of some friends who had formed a blues unit with black and white friends I'd gone to school with.
Pretty much a weed smoking beer drinking garage band.( 2 band members sent me weed in Japan!) But good enough to get at least a charity gig. I mean play for a charity gig, they wernt paid.

Anyway, an acquaintence (black baptist preachers daughter) from school was there and we were hitting it off dancin and such. The place was on fire with some almost yellow gold looking santamarta weed. About 6lb found in center of a 40 lb brick as ledgend goes.

So morning rols around and I wake up at the preachers daughters house.
Well hell I forgot where I was going with all that.
Long story short I have sampled many flavors of woman over the years. Aint found one that wasnt pink inside where the good stuff is. Come on I mean heart (:

and masturbation gives you hairy palms

I HOPE THIS STATISTIC WILL SCARE YOU AND ENRAGE ALL OF YOU., THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY CURRENTLY IN PRISON OR ON PAROLE AND PROBATION IS 1 out of 31 people., THIS IS IN EXCESS OF ALL PREVIOUS STATS I HAVE SEEN., THIS MEANS CURRENTLY 2.5 MILLION PEOPLE ARE IN JAIL AND MILLIONS MORE ON PAPERS FROM PAROLE BOARDS AND PROBATION., MOST OF THESE ARE FOR NONVIOLENT DRUG OFFENCES! WE ARE AT PRESENT HOLDING IN OUR PRISONS AND JAILS 25% OF THE ENTIRE PLANETS PRISONERS.,I WANT TO SUGGEST THE BEST PERSON TO CONTACT IS SENATOR JIM WEB HE IS CURRENTLY PUTTING A COMMISION TOGETHER TO STUDY THIS VERY THING!!! SO WRITE SENATOR WEB AND TELL HIM YOUR VIEWS.

@ you guys are dum
It costs the government far more to enforce the forfiture laws than they ever collect by "selling drug dealers confiscated houses for pennys on the dollar" as the commercials crow.
They lose more money enforcing small amounts cases than they will ever confiscate, or recevive in fines. Cops dont work cheap, nor do court personal, probation/ parole officers, etc.
True enough they seem to have a blank check to rob the public treasury's both state and federal to keep themselves employed running the anti-drug effort. But this is not a profitable venture for the taxpayer, by any accounting standard

dont you all understand that.... The gov makes more money off it being illegal? You sell weed they confiscate your house, car etc. plus fines etc. fines+confiscation > tax. In addition, having it illegal makes for more jobs than otherwise. Its the unfortunate truth my friends

I sincerely hope all the anger in all these forums is making it to the white house,congressmen etc.snailmail/email/fax/phone.
we are at a turning point and "NO MERCY!!" should be our battle cry until we've won.Get up and brush the dirt off, it's time to fight(and not with each other,what are we, congress?)

I SAY..

Let's see if he has anything else in mind. Maybe he just didnt want to TAX MARJIUANA IN THE FIRST PLACE!

WE SHOULD HAVE A RALLY/Global MARCH AS YOU WILL.. TO SUPPORT OBAMA IN A TOPIC THAT COULD HAVE BEEN IGNORED, LET HIM KNOW THIS IS OUR DECSION AND NOT HIS AND THE POEPLE HAVE SPOKEN!

Reflected light on my skin makes for a lighter shade. I'm not wanting anyone in cages.

Congress wasn't told shit other than that the hemp industry would bankrupt the cotton industry and in those days most politicians had their hand in that just like they do now with
with the crude oil and pharmaceutical industries so that was the original reason for prohibition. The second prohibition and scheduling came with the hippie movement where the government was worried that the next generation of leaders would be "good for nothing hippies" that would destroy this country with their views and laziness . The racism was simply propaganda to play in to the minds of simpletons such as your self and further divide the masses. And I have see the white chicks black dudes date and trust me we dont want you anyways scro!

No, you missed the point and if you are going to preach history do more then just watch a special on history channel. This is not about race but money and as long as there is idiots such as yourself racism will stay around and be at the forefront of all prohibition. If you wanna piss daddy off go do it somewhere else, not every white man in this country is a racist alcoholic just because that is what the men in your family are like.

IMA MIXTER>> I JSut DOnt KNow If Iama baskeetbalp ayer nor a cowbo

you are all missing the whole point,,sad,,look up the history of why said plant is illegal ,,and u will see,its obvious u havent,,,

Just because you get a black dick inside of you doesnt mean you are not still white, and your right anno. i think she has and now should reroute the flow to her mouth so we dont have to listen to shit like this again. You are still WHITE you dumb bitch

Sounds like hedie and her grand canyons have measured a few thousand feet of penis.

dear sick of the bullshit
no1 reason pathetic excuse cannabis aka marijuana was criminalized
congress was told it makes white women seek relations with black men,,, an unjust law based on race,,and obvious penis size envy,,,,,,,,and it is BULLSHIT,,,,, the white man so fears those who are different..he feels he must cage or destroy....
funny thing is it back fired,,it didnt stop nuthin,,,, my family is proof of that as well as many other people i know
mixed breeds all over the damb place,,and it rocks

To below...It was a great question. Whats the matter with you.

That was a badly written question, hemp and marijuana are two different things, although they are related. Legalizing hemp products is irrefutably good for the economy, especially for use as a biofuel and to make paper and plastic products. Legalizing marijuana is less related to the economy, although there would be alot of money saved by not imprisoning potheads, simply "allowing people to smoke pot" isn't an actual economic stratagy, which is what was so funny about that. However as I said, allowing Hemp to be grown and used industrially as a biofuel and for other uses IS a good economic stratagy, and conforms well to Obama's publicly expressed plan to switch to greener envormental technology and get off of fossil fuels. The fact that so many voted to get that question in that form to the president makes me cry, did no one see what was wrong with it? Clarity is everything. Wording is everything. And the wording is why it failed. I'm not making excuses, it's obvious as hell that he saw the question as is and answered it as is. He didn't say that legalizing pot was a bad idea, or wasn't the right thing to do, he said that he didn't think that legalizing pot is a good stratagy to grow our economy. Non-psychoactive Hemp is the thing to grow our economy, marijuana is the thing that should be legal regardless. The two are not the same. In one fell swoop this poorly thought out phrasing has made the issue laughable, it's going to take alot of work to straiten this out, and you blame Obama for saying no to it? Fuck you idiots, you chose the question. Next time you're in a forum with him, talk about HEMP, and do it right this time. God damn it, I can't believe you wasted such a good opportunity to show him what needs to be changed, made us all look like idiots. Fucking Idiots. This is going to set us back. Damn it.

Ok. My observations of some of the people in these forums are as follows:
Skin color is important. Hating those who have a different skin color is normal here in the forums. For some, they're whole life is centered around sexual organs, and the fascination of the different sizes. It is little wonder why the country is in the shape its in. Drunk idiots.

i can see there are a bunch of people on here who obviously have very bad self esteem,,, for all they are doing is spouting out negativity,,, white boys scared of their own shadow,,makes you feel bigger to sling out cursings??
believe me its not gonna help,,your little tiny penis will still be just that,,tiny
so please grow up,,if you havent got any good suggestions for this issue,,then go back to sucking your thumbs,,big ass babys

THE ONLY THING THESE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND IS MONEY AND HOW TO KEEP GETTING MORE OF IT FROM US THE TAX PAYER AND GETTING ELECTED AGAIN AND AGAIN!! TO WIT., IF WE COST THEM MORE MONEY THAN THEY CAN MAKE FROM US OR OFF OF US AND IF THEY ARE GOING TO LOOSE THEIR JOBS ie: THE NEXT ELECTION WE VOTE THEIR SORRY ASSES OUT'VE OFFICE WE WILL REMAIN IN THE SAME OLD CRAPPY SITUATION WE ARE IN NOW!!!!. CIVIL WAR!? SIMPLE REBELLION AT ALL LEVELS!? VANDELISM AND CIVIL DISOBIEDIANCE!? ALL ARE EFFECTIVE AS ARE COVERT OPPERATIONS THAT TAKE SPECIFIC AIM AT PERSONS OF POWER AND CONTROLL IN THE GOVERNMENT., THIS MEANS THE TARGETTING OF POLICE AND THE PEOPLE BEHIND THEM!! THE JUDGES AND THE LAWYERS MUST BE GOT AFTER FIRST!!! THEN THE POLITITIONS WILL FOLLOW OUR DEMANDS! THE PEOPLES DEMANDS! NOT THE STRINGS OF POWER THAT ARE DERIVED FROM MONEY THAT WE PAY IN THE FORM OF TAXES!!! TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT! TEA PARTY IN BOSTON ANYONE?? DO NOT GIVE THEM THEIR TAXES WICH IS THEIR PAYCHECK AND D.E.A. BULLETS AND PRISON BUILDING MONEY THEY WILL NOT WORK FOR FREE WILL THEY?? WE ALLMOST DO!!! AT THE POINT OF A GUN! AND AT THE POINT OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICEs FORFIETURE LAWS!! THE TAKING OF YOUR PROPERETY!! THAT MIGHT INCLUDE YOUR CHILDRENS HOUSE!!!!! OR A LICENCE TO DO BUISNESS OR TO DRIVE A TRUCK!! IT IS AN EVIL INSTITUTION!!!., WE AS A PEOPLE MUST REVOLT AGAINST THE MACHINE THAT IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!!! OUR COUNTRY IS BEING SOLD FOR A DOLLAR AT THE EXPENCE OF OUR COUNTRYs' SOUL AS WELL AS OUR CHILDRENS FUTURE!!!! FREEDOM IS THE CRY WE ARE HEARING AND WE MUST FOLLOW THROUGH!!!! START THE FIRES OF FREEDOM!!!!!

obama is a peice of shit...Natives of arizona...
next election i aint even gonna vote fuck it!!!

How do you REALLY legalize pot: Basically we must address the fact that pot is never going to be lagalized by conventional means, because there is whats called liability in law. Pot can never really be legalized because the government would have to say they're sorry for all the hate literature, and lies that they generated for the last hundred years.
Now, they just can't legalize, so there has to be a creative legal move done by we the oppressed because if we don't make a consession of having a solution for reparations, its never going to happen. Its very simple. We have to make an offer, and we can do that through an injunction. We can file that through a class action suit, or we can file it through an interveaner with the courts. The reality is that we have a war on drugs. The reality is that this war on drugs has no one to negotiate peace with. We have to give peace a chance. There are so many people who have been harmed by this law that its impossible for the legislature to change tha law because it would bankrupt the government. There would be millions and millions of claims that would have to be paid. Now to address the liability issues, we can make the position that the pot industry could levy a charge on it to pay these damages.
People who have done jail time really do deserve compensation for all the harm caused by bigotry hate and lies. Now theres no way they can legalize, and they're going to continue their bullshit lies. Its the only defence they've got.

We are at whats called a tort in law. The tort is the government has to legalize it, but they can't cause they can't afford the liability. A tort is where one idea conflicts with another and the whole marijuana issue is nothing but one giant tort, because the government can't get out of it. Its sad to say but they can't, and they can't pass a law saying we passed a law that legalizes pot, and wethe government aren't paying any damages. The government can't do that. Lawfully, they can't do that. But the marijuana community "we" can make an offer to pay damages to the people who suffered in the marijuana community, and the biggest thing we can do is hire them.

Obama is full of shit; a lying puppet, empty-suit, can't-do-anything-save-read-off-a-teleprompter, affirmative-action President. He fooled all you liberals into voting for him, but in reality he's no better than Bush.

You all should really watch The Obama Deception, on YouTube. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAaQNACwaLw

Ha, I fully support the legalization of cannabis, but the thing is: even if they DO legalize it, that will only be a move to appease and distract you while they take more and more of your freedoms away, and increase the debt that we the taxpayers have to pay back.

So, don't mistake any legalization effort by the Federal Government as a good thing. It needs to come from the States up. The Federal Government is the most corrupt organized-crime-syndicate that ever existed.

Change we can believe in!

I am not going to say much but did you really think that a black man or a white man to make such a chose as that the ONE word i left out of the black man or white man part from above was they are both in the world of goverment and the red men and women of this country know all about their lies and that all i have to say

Me to I really thought that there would be a chance that he would but some logic into at least why not to legalize. And what dose that say about the online audience? I mean he went on to national TV and asked for Americans to go online and ask these question WTF Obama now he wants to act like there is something wrong FUCK HIM.

I regret voteing for obama.Im starting to think he's just another bush

Obama are you going to listen to the people? give them right full and straight answers we the people deserve? this is our country and we want it fixed.. mocking the people of this country and treating us pot smoker as if were nothing. if the drug cartel leader is saying thanks to you for keeping drugs illegal that should mean something when hes a billionaire terrorizing our country. we are serious and you smacked us 3 million people in the face.. change? wheres the change? presidents are all puppets they change the second their in office.. shame on you Obama. lets fucking show him how serious we are and kick his ass out of presidency next term and legalize marijuana. you cant take my right and amendments away from me im an American till the day i die and i shall stay strong.. shit i wanna know why marijuana is still illegal today.. hmmm

Its may 2, 2009
Global Marijuana march anyone?

http://www.globalmarijuanamarch.org/

Obama takes full credit of this economic up turn, BUT WHY ARE WE SEEING IT SO QUICK? They said it wasn't to happen over nite and IT HAPPENS OVER NITE?

Economy is what it is!

CAUSE YOU CANT MAKE PEOPLE WANT TO BUY THINGS JUST BY THROWING MONEY AT THE BANKS!!!

we are trying to get MPP to coordinate protest marches in every county seat across America,because going to Washington
is both expensive and with as many as would possibly show up,the logistics would be staggering.
But everyone could go to their county seat,to the courthouse and ask to speak to the sheriff of your county,and carry signs
and chant slogans. If we can coordinate it too happen at the same time,even the government can't ignore that many walking,talking voters Back too the 60's one more time,watch for further developments and announcements by MPP and possibly
NORML. To steal a phrase,we can do this.

Karma Smoke OBama has always been against legalization... He is just another puppet.

Obama saying no just helped our cause, research people, open your eyes.

Most of you are all ignorant idiots, pick up a history book and stop with the pot, obviously you aren't using it for the right reasons, you racist fucking worthless pieces of shit need to shut up and understand that race has nothing to do with this, its politics over progress, so please go lock yourselves in your rooms and let the educated people sort this out. STOP MAKING POT LOOK LIKE SOMETHING ONLY INBRED RACIST HICKS DO. STOP THE FUCKING IGNORANCE.

i voted for obama for the sole purpose of legalizing marijuana. i missed the firdt chance to vote and submit Q and A's on change.gov. but when he made it open to the public, i submitted a shit load of votes and question only about marijuana. i say the next time he leaves it open to the people im goin to flood the site with as many marijuana related questions and votes as possible. we are not joke, we just want our smoke!

Prohibition breeds disrespect for law enforcement because of the public sentiment of governments continued encroachment on individual liberties.

Instead of spending billions/trillions on fighting an endless “war” that was created by the government in the first place when they impossed a law that infringes on a persons individual liberty and trying to enforce it. They could easily and simply put regulations in place and actually reverse all that wasteful spending of tax payers money into generating revenue for the economy. The only way to put an end to the cartels and their violence is to re-evaluate the US drug policies and pass regulations in this country to control the drugs legally within our own borders.

You mentioned that your a true believer in persistance. We must realize that just as determined as our ancestorial anti-prohibition supporters were in the past to get prohibition over-turned and still continue to do everything in their power to attain alcohol, that history is destined to repeat itself when you ignore it and not deal with the issue seriously and intelligently.

Since the US is the most wealthy and has the highest demand for marijuana, it will continue to always be the main source of revenue for the cartels. The only way to put a stop to the cartels and the violence is to rethink our drug policies and put into action regulations in this country to control them within our own borders. The desire for money & power is so great that it becomes an addiction in itself. Our capitalistic mentality inspires & motivates people to take extreme lengths to posses it. We put so much importance and need on both that its almost a life & death struggle to achieve it. If you don't have it your impaired and are burdened from the lack of it. The way our world has shown us to work is that only the people who have the influence of power & authority ever get the respect and adoration they are seeking and if your unable to achieve it through power then money is the next best way to purchase it with, and when someones power & finances are threatened they will resort to intimidation and harm to retain it.

This nation is a pharmaceutical nation. We have drugs for everything. The most addictive and dangerous ones are the "man-made" chemically processed drugs.

Stopping prohibition proved to work in helping the county out of the great depression by creating legitimate jobs, businesses and revenue for the country. In the process it lifted the growing burden off the government resources fighting it so it could focus them on more important issues like WWII. Instead of spending money on trying to stop the free will of the people on things that they feel is their individual liberty and choice to participate in or not, why not use that additional money to strengthen and focus the attention and resources on the more dire issues like a dirty bomb smuggled into the US because of our pores borders and ports that could possibly kill millions of americans with them having no choice in the matter. I would think common sense and rational thinking would want to give people choices in a free society instead of prohibiting and restricting their ability to make mature adult decisions on their own and not have government think that they know whats best for them... ex. abortion & stem cell research.

A free market that has competition is better than a black market that has no restrictions or regulations on it to ensure fair and safe commerce.

I would like to hear you intellegentlly defend why you feel that alcohol & tobacco can continue to still be legal and be in favor of keeping alcohol & tobacco legal when there is an organization specificly formed to treat the alcoholism desease called AA. You mentioned Tueday night that you like to know what your talking about before you speak…. I would be very curious on your knowledge of the cannibas/hemp plant and its potential uses and why you felt to dismiss and ignore the positives of regulating it, but so quickly to condem it??? How can you logically and intellegently be in favor of keeping such a destructive product like alcohol & tobacco legal when they have NO health benefits and only increase the reasons why health insurance is so high and difficult to get for people who use them!? At least Marijuana/Cannibas/Hemp has shown to be beneficial economicly, medically and environmentally.

You mention that if we keep putting of healthcare reform that it will never get resolved... well, if we continue down the same old path of prohibition and "war on drugs" not considering the pro's of legalizing a naturally growing plant nothing will ever change on how violence is connected to drugs. It will continue to be a perennial disease on our economy. Its not the panacea, but what does not kill us will only strengthen us.

please we have to agree that cartels risk their very lives to bring us the ganja and the thing that unites us is what will make us stronger, obama is a liar but he's also a politician, no surprise, we have to focus on choosing our legislators better and as long as we have to; endorse and patronize our cartels, we have to oppose the civilian compulsory service bill they want to pass which is only a military draft, our dear government wants more people to go and get killed and kill innocent people in the war on drugs, we can't allow our children to be drafted to go die for this fascist government, how did americans finally stop the vietnam war, only by opposing it and getting persecuted and arrested and demonstrating
we have to do it before they start putting us into concentration camps called FEMA camps.

Obviously Obama lied when he said wanted to work with the public on taking care of issues important to this country. In both polls the most popular question involved marijuana legalization and he dismssed it as a joke each time. That is not the type of attitude I thought he would have when I voted for him. Hopefully in time when the economy is better he will seriously address this issue. He has about 4 years. If he does nothing, then he is no better than any of our other presidents who did nothing to end this injustice.

I see. So Obama thinks its ok if he illegally smoked it without arrest, but if anyone else does without a med card, THEY go to jail. I see obamas brother got off. Must be nice.

Some things may never change...legalizing weed OR racism

I missed fragle rock so next time I want to see more hand/puppet movement I'll make sure I watch your show MR. PRESIDENT OBAMA!

He has been president for less than one hundred days, of course not shit is going to happen yet, calm the fuck down, Barrack knows whats up, he's just trying to pass other legislation without pissing off the conservative ignorant asshole side. It'll come, once the gov't realizes this mexican conflict is going to be a war caused by our prohibition. Educate your neighbors, its the only way when can legitimize our stance on pro-pot.

Obama is a freaking joke! I can't stand this guy. Legalization of marijuana was the one issue I was hoping he would institute, now he is not even going to do that. Obama is a freaking disaster! Obama can somehow see the logic and spend over 3 trillion dollars bankrupting my childrens and my grand kids futures and this SOB has the nerve to think marijuana legalization is ridiculous and irrational!

I will 2nd that.
All in favor say, I
