It’s been 40 years since we’ve had this discussion at a federal level. Barney Frank (D-Mass) & Ron Paul (R-Texas) have introduced a bill that will eliminate the federal penalties for possession of marijuana. As one of CNN’s reporter’s put it, “Frank & Paul will have trouble pushing it through congress, and finally the president”. The name of the bill is “Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2011″

NORML has of course setup a page for you to email your congressman/woman. I suggest we all do so. The only way the laws will change is to let your voice be heard. Share it everywhere you can.

Sorry I was absent on the biggest day, but work was hectic, and exhausting all week, and had no energy to do anything but roll and smoke and zone out to the tube. In honor of 4/20 here are some pics from CO. I haven’t been to the smoke-out, but one day I shall go. Great pics to all you Colorado people.

Ok Rhode Island here’s your chance to legalize, or at least have your voice to be heard. Today around 430pm at the Rhode Island State House Room 313, they will be considering reducing the penalties for simple possession. If you’re a Rhode Islander, you may have not heard about it yet, which is usually the case, most of the population has no idea what the house in their state is doing, so I say to Rhode Island get out there! Voice your support!

Wow! I remember hearing about the dispensaries being closed, but I had no idea they were limiting the total number of stores to 100. Interesting enough, they are going to hold some sort of lottery. I wonder if Walgreens, CVS, or Eckerd have to go through anything like that when opening a new store.

I absolutely love this guy! He lights up a joint, and smokes it on TV. How ballsy, go Zach! I’m very surprised that Bill Maher didn’t hit it, since he’s pro-pot.

Now the only thing I don’t like about the Colbert Show is that whenever I see something on it, Colbert jokes it, which I know it’s his thing, and I love him for it! In fact I loved how he approached the idea of marijuana in his questioning, does he smoke? Will we ever know? Interesting idea, celebrities that are Ok with marijuana, stay tuned.

I read this article, and I usually read the comments. Another anti-drug person blasts “potheads” and tells us to get jobs. Little does that close-minded person know, there’s millions of us. People he/she hasn’t thought about. Even if that post was a joke, dont you feel that 70 billion dollars is a big expense we have to pay as taxpayers?

I’ve been saying this stuff for years! The government has tested it, they aren’t stupid, it all boils down to money. Greedy & Crooked public officials make too much money off the drug war now, as long as it’s profitable for them, they will keep on doing it, and prohibition will continue to yank away our constitutional rights.

This man, Kevin Drum, doesn’t or hasn’t ever smoked, he looked at the facts, and there you have it. Kevin touches on many of the main points in legalization.

At one point Sen. Mccain asks the ex-police officer if he would legalize Meth, he responded with something to the effect of “I think we should give people help for drugs, not pay to lock them up. ” We spend over $20,000 a year on one prisoner.
