By suggestion: Congressman Barney Frank has introduced a bill that, in essence, would prohibit the feds from interfering with states' laws on medical marijuana. Let's discuss.

Stop wasting time on criminalizing pot. There are so many other more pressing issues this country needs to overcome then focusing on a plant that grows naturally in the soil which was created by God. Next thing you know we'll get busted for enjoying the sun.

oh right on jackstrawfromco...
I am for it. No, I am against it. What was the question?
Officer Lou (sniffs bag of something Laddie found on blind man): Marijuana.
Chief Wiggum: Well, I guess he didn't like you after all. He just smelled your narcotics. Book him, boys.
Office Eddie: Hold on, Chief. It might be medicinal.
blind man: Uh...yeah, m-medicinal. I...without it, I could, uh...go even...blinder. Right?
Well of course we support it when my uncle Jim (who was at Pearl Harbor and Midway in WW2) got cancer pot was the thing that saved him from a lot of chemo pain. He recovered and smoked it until his death 10 years later
I am curious to those of you living where pot seems almost legal I watch the MSNBC "Marijuana Inc." every time it's on. Are people smoking in public? How are businesses handling it? Are they still drug testing?
And the road goes on forever....

deadleg is in total agreement with jack straw
Great Topic!!! Unfortunately the link to Barney's bill is not working, so I can't comment on it properly, but I'm sure I support it.
I live in Massachusetts and since 1/1/09 we now only have $100 fine for possession under an ounce. I've been smoking for 15 years in some very unfriendly states and I can't express to you enough, the elation of carrying some bud with NO FEAR OF GOING TO JAIL!!!! It's really a divine feeling; kind of like a mix of freedom, justification, vindication, normalcy, and acceptance. I hope the rest of our American brothers and sisters in some unfriendly states can soon have the same feeling, too.
I went to a free outdoor concert a few weeks back featuring Lemonheads and Soul Asylum. I was suprised and happy to see nobody really smoking in public. I saw Phish at Fenway that same weekend and there was only one arrest for selling nitrous. Everything just seemed like business as usual. This kind of proves to me that a state being tolerant of marijuana will not flip upside with everyone becoming crazy pot heads.
But wait until 9/9/09 for an annual smokeout in the Boston Common where the good smokers of MA can get together and celebrate. God Bless the Herb! Peace!

Don't know exactly what the bill says, but anything that makes pot more legal is a good thing. Those who can medically benefit from it should have access and so should everyone else. If we were making tax dollars from the legal sale of pot instead of spending ridiculous amounts of money on enforcement and imprisonment think what a difference that would make in the federal and state budgets! Bye, bye deficits!
This will also give you the opportunity to send an email to your local congressional representative in support of this bill!

Prohibition of mushrooms and a weed, violate my constitutional right, to life, liberty, and the pursuit of my happiness. (Let’s bring it into the 21st century). Provided my happiness does not impinge on another person’s happiness. By impinge I mean, any physical
Impairment to their freedom of mental choice, and movement.
I ingest specific substances to expand my consciousness, relax, as a healing tool to what may ail me, for recreation, and as my SACRED TOOLS FOR COMMUNICATING WITH THE DIVINE.
The articles misleading causation, between crime and
The ingestion of specific substances is promulgated by
fear, ignorance and prejudice.
Its a trickle down system. Those
that control the mirage of money as wealth, try to control the flow of information that is transmitted , ie..The "MEDIA".
There is an illusion that we exist in a democracy, our representatives and senators have been captured by the darkness. Its not their fault,
they were seduced by something
that is beyond their human capabilities. This darkness engulfs the planet, there is not an organization, religion,
corporation, that has not been contaminated by this virus, nothing exists that is not contaminated. Except those individuals that for one reason or another are not contaminated. you who are free of the virus,( if there are those that exist),have the self consciousness to know by cosmic sight, that there exists
beyond darkness, the light, you are of light, darkness does not exist in light.
I imagine there are an infinite number of ways to enlightenment, I just happened to fall on the tribal path, whose traditions used the same sacred herbs and fruits from the garden of Eden. THE TREE OF LIFE AND THE TREE OF KNOWALEDGE.
That's why the darkness several hundred years ago, brought about the Native American HOLOCOST, to eliminate the TRIBES that carried on the divine tradition.
Imagine if you will, the church and the kings representatives, sat down with the savages and partook in the tribal ceremony, it didn't take long for the tribe to know these men, for they saw these men groveling on the ground, screaming to get the demons out of their minds. They were reduced to babbling idiots.
The analogy that comes to mind, is the scene in the first Indiana Jones movie .when the ark was opened, the spirits looked beautiful, then they turned to abject horror. That’s what the meeting looked like, what the church (religion) saw, and what the kings (personal property, wealth) saw was their poverty compared to the majesty that appeared in front of them.
Thus the HOLOCOST of the TRIBES
Thus the fifty year old "WAR ON DRUGS"
So we, the country that the world sent their citizens , to participate in this great experiment called democracy would someday manifest, and the beacon of light from that French statue, the woman who would nurture this child called democracy to maturity, you the world who sent their hopes
and visions of a better world,
start dancing the streets ,because today the collective light of humanity's
love, faith, hope ,what we fought for, what we suffered for, liberty's light ,love ,justice, compassion
we did it ,that light is going round the world, darkness is turning to light.
TURN ON THAT OLE LOVELIGHT.
A small ray of that light, leads we the American people to say to the world that, we the American citizens offer our apologies to the world for the darkness that was created ,in this land. to our noble red brothers and sisters we ask your forgiveness.
to our noble older African brothers and sisters, the mother of our world ,we ask your forgiveness. To all the other peoples of the world who were touched by our darkness, we humbly ask your forgiveness.
And to those in the world that were touched by the love and light from the spirit of those noble generations that came before us, we , this generation shall shine their collective light, of peace and love through us ,and build on that legacy ,and never forget, not one ,those that sacrificed
so much for us, their children.
And as a token of the joy we experience today, we will end a war today. We end the " WAR ON DRUGS".
