Thank you fellow smokers, now what...?

So what say you, how do we band together and get this show on the road. We have to get the point across to our represenatives, the officals WE elect into office to make this a campaign promise? How do we get this to be a bill in congress that gets passed? Do petitions work? Any ideas?

Legalizing Pot.

It's only illegal because in the 1930's during the depression, america needed a scape goat to blame the problems of the depression on and they chose marijuana and mexicans. They said the mexicans were bringing pot into the country and raping our women and stealing our jobs. Alcohol was illegal too at the time. Nixon was the first president to declare war on drugs. Damn Nixon.

    See my answer to your previous post, and if you haven't already watch "The Drug Years' currently airing on VH1 and the Sundance Channel. it's a four part documentary that will knock your socks off! Also see the documentary "Grass" narrated by Woody Harrelson ... excellent source material and footage.

    During the Carter administration he actually put forth a proposal to decriminalize the possession of less than one ounce of marijuana; he too was fed up with the bogus hype surrounding pot.

    People blame pot for being a "gateway drug". Never was for me.

    Also see if you can find the 5-minute comedic bit "The Marijuana Logues" on one of Bill Maher's Real Time episodes on HBO. It aired about 4 year ago and may be hard to locate ( we've taped in on VHS but can't find it online ).

    Finally, if you want to be the umpteenth person to petition this cause, make your stealth E-mail address available on answers so that people can join you in your efforts. Decriminalizing marijuana takes a HUGE effort, and a great deal of teamwork.

    Ever heard someone communicate over with a lady as having a "smokey voice"? for sure smoking may have an impact on your making a music voice, yet that absolutely did not end Janis Joplin. as far as advantages flow, there are not many. in my opinion I savour smoking, it helps me relax and that i love the flavor. also there's a particular camaraderie you could in person-friendly words discover between those who smoke.

    Why not leave that stinking cess-pool and go and live somewhere civilised, where free means the same as it does in the dictionary.
