Maybe. I don't think for certain either way.

I think within 10 years marijuana will be legal but for now it seems more of greed that keeps it banned. It was banned for 2 peoples goals of having financial gain along with launching their career, Harry Anslinger and Randolph Hearst. They are no longer living, no longer in power of propaganda but now we seem to have a new group of people in it for financial gain.

The FDA has been around since around the time marijuana became illegal. Marijuana was a natural herb before it became illegal, after that people were forced to buy drugs in pharmacys. In my opinion they might be involved with funding money for propaganda. They make more than enough to do just that. If marijuana was legal they are probably afraid more people will run to the use of marijuana, a natural herb over using their approved drugs. Pot is known to control or cure symptoms but the pharmacuticals have a prescription for each symptom marijuana can be used for. The thing is they can charge different prices for each prescription you use. Marijuana will run a few hundred dollars for a ounce and some of these pills might run a total of a lot more money for them to draw in than a ounce of pot will. They don't know how to regulate marijuana doses on a medical level so they probably have doctors say it has no medical use, Bush is tied in with drug companies too so obviously he will say the samething. Legal for recreational use threatens the medical side because then if it's just legal but not sold in drug stores, they don't get their profits but then again the gov would still make the tax money.

Amsterdam has it right, people in the U.S critize them for their plan but if they knew their history on the subject they would learn that we had the same plan ourselves back in the 1800s when we had hash parlors for people to smoke in.

unfortunately it is not going to become legal. To be honest the next time That there will be a democrat That Is somewhat liberal On the issue of marijuana Is most likely not going to be until 2016.....


Because in 2008 i am damn sure that Hilary clinton is going to be running for the Dems. And i am entirely sure that she is going to end up being president. I will not be voting for her but i know that it is going to end up happening. and she is a huge ***** and Never will do anything regarding legalization of marijuana, just like bill clinton did absolutely nothing.


And Then Not until 2016 will a new democrat be nominated.

and The republicans are not going to be doing anything regarding legalization. there is pretty much no chance.

I think that America Lost its chance in this Election. I am about 90% sure that John kerry would have Completely legalized medicinal marijuana and Decriminalized Marijuana possesion. And possibly legalized it if he had the oppurtunity.


I Am not saying it is hopeless. if some unexpected turn of events happens we got a chance. but unless something drastic happens then that is How its going to turn out and Marijuana will not be legal On the federal level in our lifetimes

Kerry said he would end the raids on mmj patients in the states that passed laws to that effect. He would not promise to make that ban permanent, and he even wavered on the ban on raids itself at one point. ("My personal disposition is open to the issue of medical marijuana. I believe there is a study underway analyzing what the science is. I want to get that scientific review.")

Never did he suggest decriminalizing marijuana possession. Never did he even slightly suggest legalization, other than possible mmj legalization through the FDA, which would have been years away at best.

the following is from kerrys interview In Rolling stone. he basically says he thinks it should be decrim without saying it. And that is just what hes saying. Like i think he would have went further to help us out if he got elected.







You have talked in the past of smoking pot when you returned from Vietnam. What do you think of the way the pot laws are prosecuted today?

We have never had a legitimate War on Drugs in the United States, ever, and we won't until we have treatment on demand for addiction and until you have full drug education in our schools. The mandatory-minimum-sentencing structure of our country is funneling people into jail who have no business being there.

And every year, the number of people arrested for marijuana offenses goes up.

I've met plenty of people in my lifetime who've used marijuana and who I would not qualify as serious addicts -- who use about the same amount as some people drink beer or wine or have a cocktail. I don't get too excited by any of that.

Would you favor decriminalization?

No, not quite. What we did in the prosecutor's office was have a sort of unspoken approach to marijuana that was almost effectively decriminalization. We just didn't bother with small-time use. It doesn't rise to the level of nuisance, even. And what we were after was people dealing with heroin and destroying lives, and people who were killing people. That's where you need to focus.

Irregardless of its legal status I will continue to enjoy my favorite herb so as far as I am concerned it is legal for me.

Part of the problem is NORML.ORG, Marijuana Policy Project, and Drug policy Alliance, the top pro-mj lobbyist organizations are not receiving anywhere near the funding they need and are fighting a federal government with a blank check to fund anti-pot lobbying.

For the price of a latte or a pair of jeans we all could be contributing to help the legalization go much faster.

Start donating now for change.

Legal or not.
How hard is it to get? Prohibition has failed so utterly that the only restriction most people have in access is their own financial resources.

Why buy when you can grow your own? No money involved, except maybe for fertilizer and plant pots.

Sure, but greater risk, and there is a capital investment both in equipment and education. I can differ risk and capital associated costs to someone else.
