    Thank you, Mr. Krahl

    Thank you so much for this piece. I truly hope that you will continue to speak out about this issue, because so many voiceless Americans have no way of being heard. For example, today Obama held an online Town Hall meeting to address questions that were submitted online.

    There were over 2000 questions addressing the issue of marijuana . The question was at the top of the list in four of the eleven predetermined categories, and was the all-over top vote getter.

    In spite of this, Obama dismissed the question with a joke. Only, its not a joke to the 800,000 arrested each year for possess, nor to the students who lose their college funding for smoking a joint, nor to the medical cannabis patients who cannot get safe access to their medicine .

    Please, please continue to speak out in many different forums. Continue to write and talk about it.

    Regulation is law and order. Prohibition is a free-for-all, and a tool of oppression.
