End the war on marijuana....a war on human consciousness

[open letter to President Obama regarding the Haag memo]:

Your disavowal of the principle enunciated in the Ogden memorandum has not gone unnoticed. We the People of the United States demand the resignations of Attorney General Holder and US Attorney Melinda Haag. The dissolution of the DEA and the repeal of the Controlled Substances Act are essential elements of our determination that America become once again "the land of the free". Our status as the leading prison-nation in the world is a completely unacceptable outrage, and drastically reducing our prison population must be America’s first priority.

Haag's memo reveals the "United States Justice Department" to be an illegitimate institution waging war against the people of the United States, and an enemy of American liberty. Real Americans will act against the criminal gang of fascists controlling the Congress, many state legislatures, the courts, and their Schutzstaffel, the Injustice Department. No terrorist or serial murderer threatens our society more than rabid animals like Haag and the dupes who continue to prop them up.

Your failure to resist fascism renders you unfit to serve a second term. People who use cannabis read, think, and vote. I for one am done with the kind of political expediency which has allowed the Greater and Lesser Fascist Parties to control our private lives. To whatever extent you are motivated by pragmatism, please consider that my contention that millions of your core voters will simply not accept your retreat from respecting states' medical cannabis laws may be true.

Why is the Obama administration doing this?

Meanwhile, osama bin laden is still at large.

Where are all of the states rights crowd on this one. What, no hue and cry from the far right? I guess states rights only apply to their causes like discriminating against legal voters. They're a real buzz kill.

Waiting to exhale!

LETS FIRE THEM ALL AND START AGAIN.....

The real winners in the war on marijuana are organized crime and the governmental infrastructure that makes its money "fighting" organized crime. Think of all the money that pours into the coffers of organized crime - e.g. Mexican Drug Cartels - as a result of our government's actions. Think of the slaughter of innocents in Mexico right now attributable directly by our government's policy on marijuana. Think of all the taxpayer money that flows into the pockets of cops, lawyers, judges, and, worst of all, owners of for-profit prisons that routinely handle busts from the drug trade. Think of how free we are as Americans when politicians' drug of choice - alcohol - is the "goverrnment-approved" drug and a physiologically safer alternative is forbidden.

Statism is slavery... what did you expect.

The Drug Enforcement Administration was established on 1 July 1973, by Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1973, signed by President Richard Nixon on 28 March 1973.[1] It proposed the creation of a single federal agency to enforce the federal drug laws as well as consolidate and coordinate the government's drug control activities. Congress accepted the proposal, as they were concerned with the growing availability of drugs.[2] As a result, the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNDD), the Office of Drug Abuse Law Enforcement (ODALE), and other federal offices merged together to create the DEA.[3]

The 2010 DEA budget was directed toward three of five major goals of U.S. drug eradication:[14]

* Demand reduction ($3.3 million) via anti-legalization education, training for law enforcement personnel, youth programs, support for community-based coalitions, and sports drug awareness programs.

* Reduction of drug-related crime and violence ($181.8 million) funding state and local teams and mobile enforcement teams.

* Breaking foreign and domestic sources of supply ($1.0149 billion) via domestic cannabis eradication/suppression; domestic enforcement; research, engineering, and technical operations; the Foreign Cooperative Investigations Program; intelligence operations (financial intelligence, operational intelligence, strategic intelligence, and the El Paso Intelligence Center); and drug and chemical diversion control.

But none of the Wall Street criminals have been arrested....nor the ones in government......while they continue to steal our tax dollars to do things like THIS.

Of course. Because they eat into the pockets of prison profit, lawyer profit, judge profit, police profit and anyone else who uses this as a tool to extort money from NON criminals. This is life under republicon rule.

Cannabis....nature's greatest gift to mankind.

This is terrorism. Plain and simple.

The country still isn't going in the right direction.

With all the problems this country has, here we go again wasting tax dollars on pot smokers. This kind of nonsense is exactly why the republiCONs, corporate welfare democRATs, and right-wing trailer-trash everywhere can get away with demonizing big government!

With all due respect to trailer-trash!

Ok, lets demonize medicine that has killed absolutely no one.

In addition, the memo calls prosecuting medical marijuana dispensaries a
“core priority” for the feds.
Vote for change? LOLOL, the next time someone offers up a candidate that you know absolutely nothing about and he starts telling you what you want to hear. I suppose he's just telling you what you want to hear.

Brilliant.......they can't keep guns from going south and drugs
from coming north but they want to go after pot dispensaries.

I guess CCA has more cells/beds that need filling.
It's always about profits.
