Have to agree with much of what has been said relative to "zombies" et al. We as a country as still deluding ourselves that the American dream still exists. Well, as an Honorably Discharged/Disabled Veteran I can say with all sincerity that too many people have been asleep for too long. I have an agenda and its very simple: to be able to live and grow my own medicine without feeling like a criminal in a land where I sacrificed the best years of my life to protect her against foreign attack or subversion. This is dissention...not subversion for those of you chomping at the bit to attack my agenda. Do not misunderstand me as I believe this is still one of the BEST countries in the world...OK...I meant THE BEST. Its just hard to say when we arrest and imprison those who would grow cannabis yet murderers and child molesters get probation or released on a technicality. That it (MJ) would still be classified as having 'no medical benefit' while alcohol and tobacco might even receive subsidies from our government make me physically sick(er). All this so those with money can get a lawyer and stay free and those working two jobs (one at MacDonalds) just to pay rent and SOME groceries...go to prison for simply possessing a small quantity of the miracle plant. This is in the face of research done DESPITE govt. attempts to block and discredit the findings to the contrary is a sham!! Let Halliburton have the contract...I don't care! Just let the people have what research, polls, testimonials and your own disenfranchised former lawmakers (LEAP) say: legalize drugs (marijuana) and focus on the meth labs, the 'bath oils,' that are so dangerous, the 'huffers,' and the TRULY dangerous activities some in our society would do to alter reality. Its clear that their reality will be altered so why not let it be a safe alternative. Marijuana is here to stay and the sooner we stop wasting money chasing down dispensary's and those with no way of protecting themselves from a govt. that will take your business, home and property for growing a harmless weed the better off the WORLD would be. It defies common sense, but many people do act like zombies! That is, unless the law DIRECTLY impacts them of their family they JUST DON'T CARE! That gives zombies a bad name IMHO. Someday the people will wake up and we should all PRAY that its not too late. Politicians voting records are public (except for those sneaky voice votes when they don't want to be branded as being against what the majority wants) so if enough people vote their politicians records, and the issue can even be brought up for debate...maybe, just maybe...we can once again honestly reflect the needs of the citizens. Too many people watching (bored at work??? probably a federal employee. THANKS BTW for doing your best-non hacker!) Peace to All... even those who live to permanently harm myself and my family for trying to stay off Big Pharmas opiates enough to live what's left of my life. Yes, I wish you "Peace" but maybe you could join the human race and quit phoning in your life and what you stand for. '..sit back and watch the sh**.." There's your trouble! You can probably afford a really great Health Insurance plan. Just don't whine once you are retired and wonder why MJ is still illegal. Apathy is the greatest threat to this country besides the lobbyists and the disingenuous laws they work to prevent any debate on. The American dream becomes a nightmare because of your greed, graft and corruption. Wake up people and use your voice while you still can. This is clearly NOT what our founding fathers would have wanted.
