H.R.2943: Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults -2009 - U.S. Congress - OpenCongress.org

everybody tell everybody

Indeed...we must stand up against Stupidity and social inertia

Legalize the weed. I have been smoking for over 32 years now and I have NEVER been caught by the pigs. I know sooner or later my luck would run out. I am getting to old to worry about some young punk who wants to make a name for himself and bring me on some bullshit charges that could cost me a lot of money in a court of law......money that could have been spent on weed.

Smokers in this country must unite and forget about what party they belong to when it comes to this issue. we are all in the "green party" as far as I am concerned. Get your democrat or republican friends high today.

Flashback. Nixon wins the 1972 election. "Tricky Dick" - same as Harry Anslinger- Nixon, an unethical reactionary to the unstable 1960s. He manipulates a reinstitution of the 1937 Prohibition orchestrated by the troll FBI J.Ogre Hoover,Anslinger,Hearst, Dupont which had been struck down by the Supreme Court because of it's UnConstitutional wording. Then we experienced a 2nd wave of oppression. Same pattern of monkey see monkey do following the 1937 Prohibition ensued in 1973 when N.Y. Governor Rockefeller had his draconian version of Prohibition instituted to aggravate Nixons poilicy. N.Y. knew it was a giant step in the wrong direction, and decrimed in 1977 in the Gottfried/Barclay law. (Rockefeller was then soon promoted to V.P. under Pres.Gerald Ford. Ford himself was Nixon's V.P. after Nixon's original V.P.Spiro Agnew (also in separate scandals) exited the stage of this tragic comedy of errors preceding Nixon's demise over Watergate. V.P. Ford was an FBI operative chosen to pardon Nixon. Rockefeller, like Howard Hughs, was a Billionaire plugged into FBI/CIA) The FBI & CIA then as now functioned as the unlawful shadow government pulling the strings of the Oval Office during the 70s, 80s, 90s, and on through the Dubya regimes, with only 1 brief popular objection electing Jimmy Carter. If you look at the timeline, most of the prevailing atmosphere of the past 37 years has been one of passive negativity. The USA was reacting to the Arab Oil embargo in 1973. Then saw the elections of flim flam man Ronald Reagan in 1980, hell bent on carrying out the Bush agenda of continuing the USA's destructive addiction to oil while distracting Americans by pretending M.J. was radioactively dangerous. Then comes 2 more foreign oil wars prosecuted by Bush 1 & Dubya in Kuwait, then Iraq. And so today the USA is still bogged down in 2 related foreign oil/CIA/DEA drug wars in 2 foreign countries, and bankrupt. I was delivering newspapers during the first CIA "1984 style" Corporate war for profit in Vietnam. Reagan would have been proud of our brutaly cold county newspaper, because he proposed a sub minimum wage to exploit children. I was working for only 40% of the minimum wage then, as an independent contractor at 14, granting credit from my low pay to deadbeats who would cheat kids since they couldn't get away with it with adults. Bottom line ? It's all about extreme greed. That's why we haven't changed the World already. (the World's a very small place realy) Nixon,Reagan,Bushs have
promoted greed because their agenda has been to manipulate our wealth out of our hands into the hands of the top 1% who could then have virtualy absolute power over us because then they could dominate us as whites did to blacks. Most people could not live if they could not work. So the FBI/DEA manipulates employers through their insurance companies the FBI collaborates with. (an ap for them only as with the cyber worm they launch to bug your I phone with) Many people have to undergo a drug test before they can obtain a job. So the unlawful shadow government agencies like the FBI, themselves thugs for hire by Corporations, unlawfuly enforce employer Discrimination in violation of the Federal Equal Opportunity Employment Act by targeting Cannabis users. How ? Employers have to use insurance companies to cover their workforce. Insurers give corporate employers a 30% reduction in the premiums if they Discriminate against Cannabis users claiming statistics show we cause preventable workplace accidents and injuries. So to keep insurance overhead down (and increase their
Trillion $ profits at our expense) they manipulate the workforce & State laws (States are employers too) where workers are the most vulnerable. The FBI has had M.J. Prohibition on it's agenda since 1937, and still uses employers as its quasi governmetal arm, which the Supreme Court has ruled unlawful, to maintain its Prohibition status quo. Divide and conquer is still the FBI drug war tactic.

Indeed..and we should have already...

Only we can change the world.

A step in right direction, we need to protect farmers more

This is the bill which Rep. Barney Frank introduced, no ? I recall blogging that current.com article some months ago. Great start. Given that it passes, I'm hoping that the law becomes amended to include all preparations of Cannabis Sativa. Indica, Ruderalis including Hashish, Hashish Oil, and Jamacian #1. Anything worth doing is worth doing well. Besides, we're Americans. While that might not be prestigious as some countries in this world it's still a heck of a lot better than most. The idea that we need to ask permission to do what the original Americans commonly and routinely did is revolting per se. Doing what the original Americans, including all the founding fathers, did should be a source of national pride. Did you know that all 4 Presidents carved into Mt. Rushmore smoked the sacred herb ? Verdad. Hey when you put some red lebonese hashish in your inhaler, you should be playing John Phillip Sousa's Stars & Stripes Forever on your stereo, with a picture Of Theodore Roosevelt on your wall. And bully for you too ! Bully !

I know its not enough but it gets us so much closer than any medical marijuana bill....

Good start but businesses should be allowed to make a profit. Regulate it, tax it, and leave my crop alone!

Its a good step, but NO! No! n0!
Dont allow things like "less then 100grams" or "no profit"
Weed should be exactly like alcohol, no less!
but I do think its a good start

Anybody who supports marijuana legalization and see's this would be ignorant not to drop a call to the senate in their state.

Can you please send me the numbers for the senators and congressman of Texas, thank you much for the support by the way. Addresses too I need to work on my penmanship anyways

Cool story Keifer. Hopefully Canada will do the same.
