Should the U.S. Legalize Marijuana?

Should the U.S. Legalize Marijuana?

The recreational use of marijuana has been glamorized over the years by such on-screen duos as Cheech & Chong and Harold & Kumar, but is the drug everything that Hollywood makes it out to be? Then again, are we being hypocritical by allowing alcohol consumption but not cannabis usage? With passionate believers on both sides of the argument, it will be interesting to see what happens when the smoke clears.

    Personal Experience

    I first tried MJ in 1971 I am now retired I am not a criminal!! But my country says I am. Time to shift gears and elect someone that will tell the truth.

    McCain please vote no

    I just read where McCain voted to give Exxon/Mobile 13.5 billion dollars of our money! Can you not see how blatant this is? In the same article it shows where he had accepted almost 1.5 million from Exxon/Mobile for his campaign, am I the only person that gets the connection? Our so called leaders are out of control this just further proves my theory corporations run our country. This is the only reason weed is a crime today pure greed by our representatives. Help stop them from putting more good Americans in jail

    continued

    and ruining there lives to preserve corporate profits. Become active contribute to one or all the major MJ reform organizations. I contribute to Norml, Marijuana Policy Project, The ACLU, November Coalition, LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition) and others if you only send a dollar, times the estimated people that use and enjoy MJ it would make a difference! We must fight fire with fire. Write or call your representative sign petitions on line at the above sites. I feel we should pursue prosecution of our leaders for stripping our rights and putting us in jail for nothing more than money and power this must stop!!
