AM I GOING CRAZY?!?!? Decriminalization of Marijuana

I just sent the letter to my rep as well, we all need to be doing this kinda thing more often, unfortunately with the current laws, you criminalize yourself just for speaking up about such an issue therefore the masses will stay silent about this. We need more brave pioneers in this area to get anything accomplished. :peace:
 
good to hear guys... how do i implicate my self just by speaking up on my views... i support the legalization of hemp, cannabis fruits just happens to be from the female version of the same plant...lol i want the hemp industry to explode and make alot of money and save us from this depression we are in. then all of us, with our bloodshot eyes, milk mustaches, and stupid smirks will be able to say "i told you so america. now leave me the fuck alone i wanna smoke...."
 
it would be pretty difficult to get that going, i heard of something like that already in affectm if that is still current let us not stray from the original plan. lets stick with it can somebody clarify the current details of this movement? i heard the main guy behind this lost internet or something...
 
Just filled it out myself with one minor change (some of the info is outdated).

In fact, thirteen states – representing over one third of the population of the United States – have already enacted various forms of marijuana decriminalization, eliminating criminal sanctions for cannabis possession. Our very own state passed the measure by 63% - it one in every single Michigan county.

look what my official said:

Thank you for contacting me regarding the issue of H.R. 5843, the Act to Remove Federal Penalties for the Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults. I appreciate you taking the time to share your situation with me and am pleased to respond.


While I will not be supporting this legislation, I share your concern about how drugs and prison can affect a family and our communities. You may be interested to know that I originally sponsored legislation during the 106th Congress, the Alternative to Prison Drug Treatment Act, that would establish grants for drug treatment alternatives to prison programs administered by state or local prosecutors. Please know that I will keep your thoughts in mind as Congress continues to address the problem of drugs in our communities.


Thank you again for contacting me and please do not hesitate to let me know if I can be of further assistance on this or any other matter.


With my regards and best wishes, I remain


Sincerely,


John L. Mica
Member of Congress
 
If only we had a say in our government instead of the Medical comapnys and tabbacco companys. I watched the explorer on nat. geo. last night. I find it funny how police/state reps say that harsh chemicals are used to grow pot. When infact the only harsh chems. that are used are by tabbacco companies that use radioactive shit. :evil:
 
And here was my response...

Dear Mr. ######:

Thank you for your e-mail about the decriminalization of marijuana.

I do not believe the sale and use of marijuana should be decriminalized. I believe it is sound public policy for federal law to continue prohibiting the sale and use of marijuana for any purpose.

Again, thanks for the e-mail. I hope that you will continue to keep me informed about the issues that are of important to you.


Sincerely,
Pete Hoekstra
Member of Congress

I don't understand. Why do so many people fight for this just to be turned down by one guy? What reasons do these people have to turn all of us down. Ah...It just frustrates me.
 
don't forget massachusetts. decriminalization just passed there by a vote 65%-35% this past election. also passed in every county in the state. as a matter of fact there were only 2 towns in the entire state thate voted against it.
 
Im glad someone got there ball rolling.Need to write a bunch of people today so my rep may as well be one of them.The title representative is just that.They are representing US.Props to all of ya:bigjoint:Time to hammer some assholes inbox!
 
Here is what i wrote back to my official:


I'm glad to hear your response so quickly but here is my case why is marijuana illegal? I've seen a couple documentary's on Marijuana and from my perspective why not legalize it, its much safer for you then drinking alcohol and smoking cancer sticks. In one documentary: The American Drug War The Last White Hope there is an interview a college professor who stated "In California alone the sale of Marijuana would generate 2 billion in tax dollars." Think what could be done with an extra billion tax dollars in Florida; we wouldn't have to keep cutting teachers like the county has been and we could build more schools, parks, and fund more scholarship programs. While I may sound like a "pothead" I do believe that there should be restrictions placed on the drug just like we have for alcohol and cigarettes. Also we could use the Law Enforcement resources and channel their efforts into something more important then marijuana like homicides and robbery's.
 
i want to see one response anyone has recieved from a congressman that says they are going to support the bill. someone who isnt already a cosponsor of course. looking at all these "thanks for your concern but fuck your beliefs" responses sure doesnt make it look like it even has a chance.
 
i know i wanna see one supporting it too. i have a question what the hell do we have to do to have our thoughts and opinions heard by the powers that be???/
