Something I think they should have done years ago!
Well I'm not much of a Barney Frank fan but this I like:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/07/...ana/index.html
The U.S. should stop arresting responsible marijuana users, Rep. Barney Frank said Wednesday, announcing a proposal to end federal penalties for Americans carrying fewer than 100 grams, almost a quarter-pound, of the substance.
The vast amount of human activity ought to be none of the government's business
Personally I think the laws that waste our police enforcement dollars and crowd our prisons with people that costs us a fortune to house, feed and incarcerate ... its about time to get these stupid laws off the books and free up our law enforcement to solve real crimes. It just STUPID the amount of money we waste trying to lock up people with a few joints!

Re: Something I think they should have done years ago!
I think that if they could come up with a way of testing you when you are driving, like a breathalyer, to see if your high, then that would help them legalize it.
If you can drink legally. You should be able to smoke legally. I have done both, and drinking got me in trouble a heck of a lot more and made me a heck of a lot more stupid. (Hey, I grew up during the drug revolution in this country. If anyone my age says they didn't party. They are lying, or their mother wouldn't let them out of the house.)
Just my opinion.The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control....

Re: Something I think they should have done years ago!
If they suspect that your smoking pot when your driving and send you for blood work you get a dui. I saw alot of that in fayette county.
I dont smoke but it being illegal is insane. The goverment just cant find away to regulate it. On a side note if you can find refer maddness watch it. It is a black and white anti pot add. I laughed so hard.
By the way you can thank a PA native for really pushing the pot laws. His name was harry anslinger, he was from blair county, and was the head of what would later become the DEA.

Just another way for the FedGov to steal your property and wealth.

Re: Something I think they should have done years ago!
Although the nonprofit transfer note is interesting, and maybe they think they're just creating a stepping stone to a better US, but just decriminalizing use is really not the right way to go. Is the claim then there is no legitimacy in running a business, on the whim of the US government?
We don't yet have the EU breathing down our necks so lets not halfass it like the Nederlands. Please.

Not a smoker, but never saw that much difference between MJ and Camels with a Cabin Still kicker. The only diff. that I see is the law.

Driving while high is about as dangerous as driving while smoking tobacco, yet that's not illegal (yet).
Any mission, any conditions, any foe at any range.
Twice the mayhem, triple the force.
Ten times the action, total hardcore.
