AHHHHHHH.........time for an Apple rip of Orange Crush then check UCLA/Memphis

With marijuana vending machines already in use, I don't see how it won't be decriminalized in the next 10 years or less.

They can. Sin taxes baby! I can't wait to pick up my first pack of Marlboro Greens!

Legalization does not lead to increased use

The bill will be going in front of Congress this week! Everyone keep your fingers crossed and bongs, joints, and/or bowls lit!

NORML blog

From the NORML website :

"A federal court in Argentina has decriminalized the personal consumption of drugs in that country. According to the court’s ruling, punishing drug users only 'creates an avalanche of cases targeting consumers without climbing up in the ladder of [drug] trafficking.'

Last month at a UN meeting in Vienna, Argentina’s Minister of Justice, Aníbal Fernández, said that the policy of punishing drug consumers was a “total failure."

Go to this link and send a prewritten email to your state representative. Type in your info and hit "send" and it will send it right to their government email address. You can use it for state legislation also. I've sent emails to the MN Governor and two Senators using this system and one of the senators wrote back and agreed with it, saying they'd vote for industrial hemp cultivation in MN.

Awesome dude. Get the word out on tha streetz! But seriously I sent that link to almost everyone in my saved email address list.

One of the main reasons marijuana was made illegal way back in the day (1920-30s) was because of the prohibition movement and Great Depression. Since the government enacted prohibition, they formed a large agency to crack down on the laws they passed in regards to alcohol. So they hired tons of law enforcement agents to track down and arrest people that were making and selling alcohol to the public (i.e. Al Capone and people like him). Once the government realized how big of a failure prohibition was, they decided to legalize alcohol again but put restrictions on it. It was right around this time that people were beginning to experiment with marijuana. Well since the government legalized alcohol, they had a huge government bureaucracy set up with tons of people formerly employed by the government now out of a job since they weren't actively enforcing alcohol laws anymore. Right around this time was the Great Depression, and the last thing the American economy needed was a loss of jobs. So the man who started the anti-MJ campaign (Harry Anslinger) decided to make marijuana the next target in order to keep the bureaucracy and jobs alive, thus boosting the economy post-Depression era. So he spread his bullshit propaganda about it, got a lot of support from sleezy politicians, and they passed laws against it. Then this agency started enforcing and cracking down on marijuana and other illegal drugs.

From this arose the DEA. And now we're in the present, where marijuana is becoming more acceptable to people. Notice how the anti-drug campaign commercials against marijuana don't focus on the health problems from it anymore, but moreso talk about laziness and just staying away from the crowd? Because everyone knows MJ is not the harmful, white-woman raping drug Anslinger & Co. made it out to be.

Thats right! Go to the link!

Werd Jigg...........Sent mine in

It'd be a waste of bandwidth to even send it here in Bama. Mike Hukabee won in Bama for fuck sake!
