Good to hear.

I do not do drugs, nor have I ever, including the cheeba. But frankly I am getting tired of the "big business" of prisons and locking up shit heads who need rehab, or something much cheaper than $40-60k a prisoner annually.

And it will be legalized at the vote. California desperately needs the tax $.

[paperboy]

i am hoping that this was just done to soften the anti 420 people before november..

if i was in charge of this whole thing, california would be making billions a year in taxes by taxing everything from selling to private cultivation..

i hope they dont fuck this us because every state is watching and pot should have been made legal 50 years ago...

if california passes, all the other states will follow...

in 5 years it will be legal in all 50 if california can do it...

Yes and you're not alone man.. trust me a lot of people in the government vouches for marijuana legalization as a recreational drug, but remember that companies that produce Tobacco and Alcohol are big time contributors and they know their sales will lower if cannabis comes to compete, i mean i personally prefer to smoke pot rather than getting wasted and suffer a hangover, but if i got no reefer then i have to get wasted lol.

The tobacco and alcohol industries are way too greedy i suppose

Although I support legalization, tell me, just what is it you plan to do about that pesky federal law which trumps state law and the fact that Obama opposes legalization?

does the supremacy clause apply in this regard?

[CPA37710T]

Please check on youtube Obama's interview about Marijuana.

or watch it on "Super high me" the movie, he supports it , if its for the right cause lol.. who doesnt one a world full of laughter!

[SallyRand]

does the supremacy clause apply in this regard?

Yes, absolutely, 100%.

[cykoe6]

It is a start....... but full legalization is the only real solution.

Thus Spake Obama:

"At an online town hall meeting on March 26, 2009, Obama stated his official position on whether or not the legalization of marijuana would be an effective strategy for economic growth: "The answer is no, I don?t think that is a good strategy to grow our economy."Los Angeles Times: Obama Addresses Marijuana Questions... (March 26, 2009)1"

"When a voter asked Obama if he was for the legalization of medical marijuana, Obama said that he wasn't in favor of legalization without scientific evidence and tight controls. Citing his mother who died from cancer young, Obama compared marijuana to morphine saying there was little difference between the two.

"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 that's something I'm open to because there's no difference between that and morphine when it comes to just giving people relief from pain," Obama said. "But I want to do it under strict guidelines. I want it prescribed in the same way that other painkillers or palliative drugs are prescribed."

"When I was a kid I inhaled frequently. That was the point."
- Barack Obama quote on Marijuana.

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_1...02-503544.html

"he Obama administration's newly-released drug control strategy may set up a confrontation between the federal government and the state of California, if residents of the state pass a ballot initiative this year to legalize marijuana.

President Obama today released his administration's first National Drug Control Strategy, which sets up five-year goals for reducing drug use and the problems associated with it.

The strategy states that "this Administration firmly opposes the legalization of marijuana or any other illicit drug."

Where is the change?

Where is the hope for change?

The term "Bill of Goods" mean anything to any of you?

You elected the Chosen One and now you are getting fucked.
