If the anti-War movement had put as much effort into ending prohibition as it put into preventing the Iraq War it might have actually accomplished something.

70% to 80% of voting age Americans favor medical marijuana. That one is a no brainer. it is amazing that progressives are so inept thtat they can't even win with the public in their favor.

Winning on medical marijuana would be a step towards ending the drug war. Once you crack the armor rationality can begin to take hold. Ending prohibition would go a long way towards ending the perverse incentives America has set up with it's drug war.

I love how or "free" country is set up through the eyes of 55 year old wealthy white men. I love how "they" justify that i can not smoke some marijuana but a 22 year old man can go to a bar drink 15 beers and smoke 12 cigarattes and im sure that isnt as bad as 1 marijuana cigaratte. This country is corrupt. People only know what they are told...is it right that the gov't is technologicaly advanced and "they" choose what we are capable of knowing. Our country's people live in fear everyday while eating dinner and watching the 5 o'clock news because all it shows is that a black man is going to rob and kill you. We have about 12,000 gun murders a year the closest country to that is at like 350. It's time to get our country out of the hands of old white men and diversify the gov't some. It's time to stop blowing tons and tons of moeny on a "world" issue. If the world is so much better when Saddam is out of power, which it is, then let the whole world financialy support this issue and let america provide the personel. 3 million american employees got pink slips because of our shitty economy not because they werent good workers, is that fair? Everyone do me a favor this year and do a little something for our environment...plant a Bush back in texas.
