Hey Mr. President: “Free The Weed.”
As many of you are aware, I do not sell or smoke marijuana, but I do have issues with government control over a misunderstood and misrepresented plant.
Because of this, I have decided to write several posts concerning cannabis to get the word out to others who don’t partake but have no hang-ups about cannabis being used both medically and recreationally. Here’s my agenda:
- Renew interest in the legalization of cannabis amongst non-users. Prohibition of this plant affects us all.
- Present information that debunks popular misconceptions and myths about cannabis.
- Get people working together to create a concentrated effort for legalizing cannabis on all fronts, enhancing the chance of the movement’s success.
I know that some of you will say no way, and others will claim it’s been tried and that there’s little chance for victory. My response to you: Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I would rather it be decriminalized because I think the law should be silent on the subject of marijuana use.

@J: Thank u J for your comments. I have read several articles on countries that decriminalized marijuana with good results. I agree with u at this time.
The major emphasis in the U.S. at this time is the legalization of medical marijuana. I do not trust the federal government and wonder how far this will go before something happens to slow down or hurt the legalization process. Hope this works. Time will tell.
