    • Earlier in the day when President Obama's brother was arrested for possession of a single joint, I had been talking to my husband about that very subject. I had told my husband, luckily Barack Obama's children to young to be targets. The next thing I heard was, they had arrested his half brother. Even though he was freed, it still put a stain on President Obama and his family being associated with drugs. I don't think that stain happened by accident. I would like to see President Obama take them head on with facts. The facts are out there. They just have to be said "out loud" by someone with a voice loud enough to be heard. If President Obama would state facts about cannabis/hemp, it would start the conversation. People would begin researching the information and find out for themselves, they have been misled.

      Oh well, that's my hope. But as we have seen "hope" is just a word thrown around to mislead people into thinking there is a "chance" for change. From what I have seen we don't have a "chance" of "change". Hope is not really an option, it's an illusion.

    • GOOD. There shouldn't be a single F*ing Kenyan police officer wasting a minute of time to prosecute someone in possession of a plant. Personally I've never been to Africa, but I might be so bold as to say there are bigger problems there to focus on.
