		<description>I think you are to young to be our face in DC.  While I do not doubt your talents or passion for the cause.  I feel statements coming from an older person would have more wieght.  Especially during testimony, I am a cspan junkie, and while you may know all the facts you will def rub congressmen the wrong way.</description>

		<description>JasonD and Nick M, 

Thank you for your responses. I hope to see more responses and people that see what is underlining things such a prohibition. I do also believe that just as Big Business drove Hemp into the dreaded marijuana in the past, it is still true to and occurring to this day. We have this problem with many things that go beyond prohibition and we need more people to wake up to the world beyond the diameter of their own heads and start to research and inform themselves.

We do not have enough people that actually know their Constitutional rights or the freedoms secured through our Bill of Rights. The government and big business control of today, driven soley by profit margins and the next dollar is not the America our ancestors drenched this great countries soil in blood for. There are things wrong here and we need to take back our freedoms. 

As far as I am concerned, we lost our rights with the enactment of the Federal Reserve Act and big business and the &#039;Privately&#039; owned Central banks gained power in our loss. Thomas Jefferson, &amp; George Washington especially, amoung our other founding fathers lay in their graves in vien for their efforts to free us have been abolished. I guess freedom only last until the blood is leached from our countries soil. 

Before the great depression, the American people owned the government and the federal government was at our will. We were the &#039;Franchise owners&#039;. Then, in the midst of chaos, a private bank sought control, not just in shares of our government, they bought the whole franchise. They printed money to put in circulation to build out of the great depression. Our govt. should be printing and controlling the flow of currency, not a private company of any sort!

Prohibition is only skin deep, I want to go straight to the bone! Boycott when and where you can, go &#039;without&#039; unless needed, and plant the seed in others to know. Those who seek the truth and look into our history will find themselves re-reading the Constitution of America and our Bill of Rights effortlessly because they start to realize how dear they hold this work of art and how quickly it is diminishing and slowly being replaced.

I will not leave this country in its current form to my offspring to fix as that is what got us here. People, we need revolution and it does not begin with an O.

It begins with YOU!  Repeal the Federal Reserve act and flood gates to freedom will once again open and flow! We need to buy back our govt. not borrow more money from the Fed!</description>

		<description>It is a trick of words...

&quot;Marijuana&quot; has no medical value... only &quot;Cannaboids&quot;...

Is what they say. That is like saying, &quot;Oranges have no medical value&quot;, but &quot;Vitamin C&quot;, does. (Pure political play on words.)

The only true fact is...
They (for undisclosed reasons, and the reasons disclosed are political mumbo-jumbo.), want marijuana illegal, &quot;The plant&quot;.

In the end, the only thing they can agree with, is that these laws are strictly for, &quot;Kid perception and public image&quot;. There is no other proof or unanimous agreement, as they demand in the law, which signifies that, &quot;Beyond all reasonable doubt&quot;, that marijuana is actually harmful enough to warrant it being illegal, controlled with death and imprisonment.

Again, this is one of those clear abuses of power, for political gain. Funded by the corporate dollar, hiding behind kids, and using the kids and consumers as the victims. It is the drug cartels and tobacco/alcohol industry which funds the law. Obviously, as they are the only ones who gain from it. We are obviously hurting from it, and not gaining anything except more corrupt politicians.

How do you tell which politicians are corrupt... They continue to fight for the laws which aide organized crime.

Look at the &quot;Salvia&quot;, situation, and you see a clear runner, paid by the tobacco and alcohol companies. (Apparently they have also written the actual law. With such stupid wording as, &quot;All contents therein.&quot;, which includes water, air, chlorophyll, and sugar. Thus, making almost every product illegal, by law.)

Google it...

They are going after &quot;Electronic cigarettes&quot;, which are a smokeless device used to deliver levels of nicotine that are lower than OTC patches and gum also. (I can understand wanting FDA approval, but FDA has already approved those levels. Just not the delivery device.)

NOTE: Electronic cigarettes are great for THC/Hash-oil delivery. (They are mini-vaporizers. An ideal medical delivery device, similar to an inhaler.)</description>

		<description>To Emory: It all plays into big business and how much pull that business has in congress. I&#039;m sure your well aware of all the corruption around cannabis prohibition and to make a long story short, far too many people profit from the prohibition of cannabis for it to become legal. And most of these people profiting hold vast majorities of power in congress. So in the end its still big business growing bigger at the expense of the citizens of this country. Something must be done to stop this injustice. It all counts on the people who know the truth, to spread that truth to those that have been raised to believe &quot;marijuana&quot; is harmful to our country, when it is the laws that prohibit marijuana that actually hurt us the most. Did I get it right?</description>

		<description>U.S. Government holds a patent on Cannibinoids as of 2001 and clearley states the medical benefits of the cannibinoids through their funded research. 

Patent # 6630507 can be displayed by clicking on my name or going to The United States Patent and Trademark office @ http://patft.uspto.gov/.
- On the left side where it says patent # search, click here and enter the patent # 6630507

Can someone tell me what is wrong with this!?

Are they not the ones claiming no medical value!? Yet, thay have patented their research on cannibinoids proving elsewise? 

I smell Hypocrisy and something that goes much deeper than meets the eye.

Please comment with your opinions.... I want to know what others think of this as well.</description>

		<description>Lets discuss the impact of a Voluntary MJ tax... what if we all just started paying it. MPP could hold it in escrow or something. All these bastards hear or see is money. Let&#039;s all start kicking in $4.20 state and $4.20 federal into two paypal accounts or something on that order.

How many billion would it take to wipe the smirk of Mr. Obama&#039;s face the next time someone asks him if he thinks it could effect the economy?</description>
