		<description>&lt;i&gt;“…Jesus demands that you feel the bitterness that you have caused millions of People.”&lt;/i&gt; 
Very close Robert V.  I would modify it slightly.  “Jesus demands you be treated the way you’ve treated others.”

And for sure they are not getting in; they’ve spread so much lies and death in the name of “morality” it’s practically beyond belief; modern day Inquisitors.

I saw something similar &lt;a href=&quot;http://NewOldSalt.com/A_Killer_Tells_Me_His_Murderous_Desires&quot; title=&quot;A Killer Tells Me His Murderous Desires&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;in a dream&lt;/a&gt;.

Not long after I wrote ”&lt;a href=&quot;http://ChristiansAgainstProhibition.org/Drug_Warrior_Perjurers&quot; title=&quot;Down With the Drug Warrior Perjurers&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Down with the Drug Warrior Perjurers&lt;/a&gt;” there was a &lt;a href=&quot;http://StopTheDrugWar.org/chronicle_blog/2009/may/13/dea_agent_indicted_for_framing_1&quot; title=&quot;DEA Agent Indicted for Framing 17 Innocent People&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;news story I learned about&lt;/a&gt;, probably a representative sample of the self-righteous “testalying” as noted in the comments on the local paper’s page.

I feel certain this kind of corruption goes to the highest levels of government.  Just like Haggard the anti-gay and anti-drugs blowhard minister was exposed for his liaisons with a gay prostitute and smoked meth.  Sooner or later the truth comes out.  If they can&#039;t face the music here in front of humans, an even more terrifying fate awaits them…</description>

		<description>Again the prohibitionist has way more air time but I am disapointed in Kampia and most debates ive seem from the pro-legalize side on TV. Now I know they dont give you much time but way to many attacks go un-answered from the prohibitionists. When asked about Barry&#039;s quote, Kampia missed pointing out that no one is suggesting &quot;childeren should smoke weed&quot;. The very quote was just stupid anyway. This seems to be the best opportunity in decades to legalize and we cant blow this. Every lie and myth has to be squashed with facts and science ! The debate Schwarzenegger is calling for has to be the be the best performance that person has ever done and leave without a doubt in an average american&#039;s mind, that legalization is the best option ! 
Also, why is it everytime I see Kampia on TV he always looks stoned, eyes shut, cottonmouth ? With all do respect, I like Kampia I just think the legalization movement need an.......Obama.</description>

		<description>First they have no proof that pot is substatially stronger now a day, and second what they are alledging is that a plant that has been on earth longer than humans has evolved in three decades more than it has in tens of thousands of years.</description>

		<description>MPP / Rob:  You have gained my support, hands down.  Having been a loyal contributor to another cannabis reform movement for 20 years it&#039;s time for me to change who I chose to support.     
My check/cash to support MPP will be in the mail within the week.

Thank you.  Please get it done as this physical body suffers as a result of prohibition.</description>

		<description>The call for more research is a stalling tactic. Also, every time, they say &quot;what about the kids&quot;?...another stall. Any idiot knows there should be age controls.</description>

		<description>There is research being done and they are doing it wrong. I was watching a documentary and for christ sake, the doctor was shooting the poor lady up with pure THC like it would give her the same effect of smoking it. If that is the way it&#039;s gonna be researched, then we are doomed.</description>

		<description>Beware! &quot;Needing more research&quot; is a delaying tactic. Legalizing any additional drug would be a paradigm shift, and drug prohibition is a Sacred Cow (and a White Elephant!). All The Drug War Establishment needs to do is to stall reform until times change, and our opportunity is lost. Political climates do change, cyclically, as a simple consequence of time and social and political evolution. Right now there is just enough sympathy from fence straddlers, who now think pot should be legal to help out the Treasury. When the economy improves, those people might change their minds again. We need to strike while the iron is hot!

The irony, and the Great Hypocrisy, is that the culture which seeks prohibition of alternative drugs, i.e. primarily American WASP, derived from Puritanism (with a good number of other mainstream cultures tagging along), is one which has its own recreational drug, alcohol. While it strives so aggressively to prohibit the drug of alternative cultures, races and nationalities, it fails utterly to curb the use of its own drug of choice! And that despite the fact that that legal drug is probably the most harmful drug of all, excepting perhaps other addictive drugs, in MHO.

The problem is also one of minority rights. Must a minority necessarily be forced to endure a tyranny of the majority? A toker does no harm to his neighbor, so his neighbor has no claim on him for his toking! That is what freedom is, freedom from prejudice and autocratic meddling, by those who merely disapprove, but who can not demonstrate any harm. Drug Warriors have no right to impose their arbitrary, hypocritical will on others!

Anyway, that&#039;s where I stand, in part.</description>

		<description>It always steams me to hear drug warriors hide behind &quot;we need to do more research,&quot; in light of the fact that the federal government has fully obstructed all cannabis research in the US since the 70s.  The problem?  The research always came back pointing to a benign, therapeutic substance with no toxicity and no cause for illegality.

I know the MAPS institute has been in a legal battle with the FDA/DEA and other organizations for close to a decade now trying to secure the right to grow small quantities of cannabis for FDA APPROVED studies.  Presently, the only cannabis that can be used for federally sanctioned studies is federally grown, (I believe by the DEA), and guess what?  They don&#039;t give it to any researchers, even those who  have gone through the arduous process of getting a study approved by the FDA.

It&#039;s like they&#039;ve confiscated every single chair in the country and they&#039;re telling us, &quot;we&#039;d love to solve this chair issue, but first we should all just take a seat and study the situation carefully...&quot;</description>

		<description>Nice job, Rob!

I cannot understand why Cannabis is still criminalized while Alcohol is legal.  I am not out to see Alcohol criminalized, but the public (mostly the government) really needs to get the Cannabis versus Alcohol debate into perspective!

Alcohol is 5 Times Deadlier than All Illegal Drugs Combined!

Total Alcohol and Tobacco Deaths per Year (U.S. Only): 520,000 deaths – over one-half million dead Americans.
All Illicit Drug Use, Direct and Indirect Deaths per Year (U.S. Only): 17,000 deaths.

All Illicit Drug Use, Direct and Indirect (yes, this would include Methamphetamines, Cocaine, Crack, Heroin, etc. - all hard drugs and soft drugs - all illegal drugs) deaths compared to the annual deaths caused just by Alcohol and Tobacco = 0.03269. This means that all illegal drug use put together is less than 03.27% as harmful as Alcohol and Tobacco use. Wow!

Deaths per year caused by the two legal drugs, Alcohol and Tobacco, are over 30 times more than all illegal drugs combined! Even with 30 times the total number of hard drug users in the U.S. the death rate would still be lower than the annual U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco death rate!

Now let’s look at just the deaths due to Alcohol: 85,000 deaths. 17,000 (All illegal drugs) / 85,000 (Alcohol) = 0.2. This means that all illegal drug use combined is only 20% as harmful as Alcohol use.  So - Alcohol accounts for 5 times more deaths per year than all illegal drugs combined! Wow again! - Put that in your beer mug and drink it!

So when you hear a Drug Warrior say that “Legalizing Cannabis sends the Wrong Message to our children” – “The Message” that they are really telling our children is that (when the children reach legal age) they will NOT be allowed to use a safe recreational drug like Cannabis but they Will be allowed to use Alcohol as a recreational drug, even though legal alcohol kills 5 times more people per year than Methamphetamines, Cocaine, Crack, Heroin and all of the worst illegal drugs combined!

Now let’s look at Cannabis.
For those who do not know, Cannabis is the genus name for the very common plant that Harry Anslinger called “Marijuana”, so that he could confuse/trick the public into thinking that Cannabis was some new type of dangerous drug as well as to use racism in quest for criminalization back in the 30’s. (I refuse to use Harry Anslinger’s derogatory terminology)

Total Cannabis Deaths throughout All of Recorded History (Worldwide): 0!!!. Usage of Cannabis (Marijuana) has never killed anybody – ever!

Hmm, we can’t even get a percentage of Cannabis Deaths (0) compared to Alcohol and Tobacco Deaths (85,000) since Cannabis has never ever killed anybody can we?

So - Alcohol and Tobacco kill over a half million Americans in one year and Cannabis has never killed anybody (in the whole world – ever), yet we allow the U.S. Government to support the Alcohol and Tobacco industry while they arrest us, put us in cages and steal our homes/cars/money for using Cannabis - a safe alternative to Alcohol!

The Pharmaceutical Industry also “pushes” many extremely deadly poisons that could easily be replaced by Cannabis and Cannabis Derived Drugs.  “Adverse Reactions to Prescription Drugs” kill around twice as many people per year as “All Illicit Drug Use Combined” – and that Cannabis use has never killed anyone!

I wonder how many people die yearly from Alcohol and Tobacco who would prefer Cannabis instead? Cannabis is a completely safe alternative to Alcohol. Alcohol almost killed me. I would love to use Cannabis as a substitute for the deadly drug Alcohol! The problem is that I live in a country where Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness is NOT possible – I live in the United States of America - Freedom is NOT an option here. The American public is completely terrorized by the U.S. DEA.

Terrorism is, most simply, policy intended to intimidate or cause terror. It is more commonly understood as an act which (1) is intended to create fear (terror), (2) is perpetrated for an ideological goal (as opposed to a materialistic goal or a lone attack), and (3) deliberately targets (or disregards the safety of) non-combatants. (Wikipedia)

Therefore, the U.S. DEA, who break into peoples homes, incarcerate people for exercising their Constitutional Freedom to use Cannabis as a safe alternative to Alcohol (or even as medicine), revoke student aids, separate families, cost people their jobs, take their driving privileges, take their homes, take their right to vote, and kill family pets, are indeed Terrorists!  We need our government to dismantle the U.S. supported and funded American Terrorism Group also known as the U.S. DEA. We the People are PAYING for our own Terrorization with our own taxes!

The U.S. - with 5% of the world’s population - cages 25% of the world’s population caged population. Many of the people who are kept in cages should not be. Many people who are forced to live in cages and suffer the brutality of the American Prison System are otherwise law abiding citizens who have simply exercised their Constitutional Right of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Prison Reform (as well as Basic Human Rights) NEEDS TO Seriously Consider Legalizing Cannabis!

Legalize Cannabis Now!</description>
