I understand what your saying, and groups like NORML are all great organizations that are here for a good cause. If you look at the big picture we live in a country that is going through an economic crisis, People are loosing their homes and jobs at an increasing rate. The government would not bail out people that have worked their whole life making this economy what it was (pre Bush of coarse) There excuse was they would not bail out irresponsible homeowners, but then they will turn around and bail out Merill Lynch, Chrysler, GM etc. Was there bankruptcy responsible? This country has a bigger propaganda machine than the 1940's Germans and I think that the majority of the people are spoon fed this crap and eat it up. For the minority of us people that don't believe every thing that we hear on fox news or any of the other propaganda machines realize that there is something majorly wrong with this government and it goes much deeper than the legalization of weed. While us American robots sit here and do nothing "W" is wiping his ass with the constitution every day yet we sit here do nothing, many American troops are dying not to mention the trillions of $$ spent on W's war for oil (war on terror),and we do nothing. Now we are borrowing billions and billions of $$ from China to keep the wheels of war turning because our country has been sucked dry, and still we do nothing."W" has made our country the laughing stock of the rest of the world, and still we do nothing. WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH? When are we the people gonna wake up, organize and take our country back? I thought the whole idea of leaving England to colonize America was to escape tyranny and to be free. Freedom in the U.S.A. is an illusion and this government will keep stripping our rights until there are none left to take, And you seriously think they are gonna legalize weed. I personally see them stripping our right to bear arms very soon. And I hope I am wrong, I really hope all you potheads can say
"I told you so" cause I want to be wrong, and I hope they legalize weed soon but I just don't see it happening.
