Should marijuana be legal?
Or should marijuana AND cigarettes AND alcohol be illegal?

Because you cant have one without the other.

We dont want to over-excite anyone out there on the West Coast who may currently be engaged in wake-and-bake, but marijuana is now, for all practical purposes, legal in 13 states. Thanks to Obama!

Our new US attorney general, Eric Loves Marijuana Holder, said this past week that the federal government is no longer going to raid medical marijuana distributors, if medical marijuana is legal in the state. Under the Bush administration, it was nice and everything to live somewhere like, oh, California, where medical marijuana could be easily had, but it wasnt completely nice, because the US govt. officially considered marijuana illegal still, so federal types would come in and raid medical marijuana places, being all like, your state laws! But Holder said the federal government is scrapping all that, and going by what Barack Marijuana is Good Obama said during the campaign:

My attitude is if the science and the doctors suggest that the best palliative care and the way to relieve pain and suffering is medical marijuana, then thats something Im open to, Obama said in November 2007 at a campaign stop in Audubon, Iowa. Theres no difference between that and morphine when it comes to just giving people relief from pain.

And since getting a medical marijuana prescription in Cali is as easy as telling some weedhead doctor I have stress, weed is basically legal there now, as well as in many other states.

Yeah, heaven help them. Instead of wasting money pursuing, prosecuting, and incarcerating folks for puffing on some weed, they can actually use the money to support their government and people.

[RVFVS]

No!!!!...well at least Canada isnt the only country that does this anymore.

[Sidmen]

Good, the Federal government had no business telling state governments that they couldn't have legal marijuana in the first place.

[Ragabash]

About a time, now only if the rhinos in my country would understand to implement something similiar to this.

[Kiljan Arslan]

A step in the right ing direction!

[vizi]

Yay!

Woah, a rare victory for states rights these days.

Probably for the best. Marijuana legalized = less the government has to screw up = more legitimate businesses = starting to take power away from drug lords ala post-prohibition.

Now if only they'd do the same with hard drugs.

Oh you tease.

Seems very sensible.

And then tax it~~
Does that mean people can grow weed themselves now or does it mean even greater state control over the production? Will Marlboro have the final laugh, and will the brothas ever going to compete effectively against the corporations?

Maybe it'll end up like alcohol, where the big guys make crummy yet cheap brands, and smaller, uh, "manufacturers" will be able to compete on a local level?

[Valentin the II]

Its just medical marichuana he's talking about, so it's still not even close to the status of say, alcohol.
It'll take some time untill its properly excepted, but still. Huray for America!

manufacturers"

Dude, John, I expected more from you.
It's called Farmers...or growers, at the very least~~
Sigh...

Who'd think capitalize on this first? The Ciggies or the beer brewers?
