The war on drugs is working! The war on drugs makes Americans slaves! It makes pharmaceutical companies rich!. It makes drug lords powerfull and dangerous.! I ensures that kids can get pot easier than they can get beer ! It prescribes medical marijuana in the hospital. Then arrests patients in the courtrooms when they dont buy from them.The war on drugs is working!!! Against the will of the American people> - 2 years ago

marijuana is just another type of tobacco grown in the ground on every single continent,I am not sorry to say this but the tobacco company could label marijuana as a ground grown tobacco plant.Any time they want.Any plant that can be heated to a certain temperature and be smoked, would be classified ground grown tobacco.Two smoke-able plants where found growing right next to each other.each had a name called tobacco each with a different potentse and color.

He is an Illinois Democrat, a member of the Chicago Machine. His friend Tony Rezko who helped him buy his house is awaiting sentancing. All this was known in Illinois, yet nobody listened. Learn the truth at abipolarmind.com

How many people are there out there who support legalization but would never sign a petition or take a stand because of fear of being associated with something that is now criminal? The small minority that takes action is speaking for large majority who are afraid to make their opinion public.

Yes, Because writing off and baulking at a totally legitimate question as if it were the most assnine idea in Fruition is always necessary to keep the conservative vote.

Sold, Tricked, Fooled, Duped, Conned, Decieved, whatever you care to call it. The end result will be the same.
Nancy "botox" pelosi being 2 heart beats away isn't any better. I didn't vote for either. So don't tell me how much worse the republicans are. I already know. Both parties would sell us down the river if there was aprofit to be made or an election to be won. I HATE THEM ALL

I ain't selling anything. The truth is free. all a person needs to do is open their eyes and quit believing the politicians lies. The 2 party system has failed us. The GOV doesnt care who wins because as long as a democrat or a republican wins, they continue their stranglehold on the Amerikan sheeple, and we all will continue to lose.

He sold you a dream, you bought a nightmare. Most will figure that out in the coming months. I hope we will be able to keep the damage to a minimun that he will inflict upon this once great country.With each and every president, things just get worse.

It's silly to think that all Obama supporters were "sold" on something. Most of us are completely aware that we will not agree with everything he says or does; we weren't tricked into anything. We made our own decisions and are happy to deal with the consequences of such.

Its better than the alternative. Having Palin one heartbeat away for the presidency would have been a nightmare.

The most annoying part of this dialogue is "3.5 MILLION PEOPLE" showed some interest, posed the question because "We the People" want marijuana legalized and we are being ignored!
Before Obama took office he had the Change.gov website open SUPPOSEDLY to take questions from the people in an effort to learn their concerns, and what was the #1 question?
1: "Will you consider legalizing marijuana so that the government can regulate it, tax it, put age limits on it, and create millions of new jobs and create a billion dollar industry right here in the U.S.?"And we are still being ignored.
I don't give a rat's ass if Obama and his Clintonesque team agree or not, I just want it done!
I don't agree with his idea of religious ceremonies at his coronation but I think he has right to his beliefs.
So where is the quid pro quo?What is it going to take more phone calls, more petitions, protests?
There are so many people asking for legalization, how can Obama ignore the voice of the people?Seriously, he needs a wake up call.
What a smug prick he turned out to be. He wanted feedback and we gave him feedback, REPEATEDLY! - 3 years ago

re- unclecharlie
"Why do you need to smoke weed? As an escape from reality?"
"...why the big fuss? I'll stick to my Evan Williams, Ha! Ha!"You make the point.. Ha Ha..
Every day people get up in the morning smoke a cigarette, watch some porn and maybe even have a beer by 8am.
That IS what is ALLOWED and it should remain your choice as adult.
Being open minded will allow you to buy and consume Evan (yuk) Williams and in turn hopefully allow the 3.5 million people that voiced an opinion the right to their own choices without prohibition hanging over their head.
It should be that simple. - 3 years ago
