“A special panel of federal judges tentatively ruled Monday that California must release tens of thousands of inmates to relieve overcrowding…”

“The order comes as California struggles to bridge a $42 billion budget deficit that is forcing the state to furlough its employees two days each month.”

So next will I need a permit to grow other medicinal herbs for myself and my family and friends? Does a farmer need a permit to grow a field of corn? If I can provide for myself without the government's help, then the gov has not earned the right to take ANY of what I provide for myself nor interfere with my ability to do so. If the gov wants my hundred bucks (that I don't have) it will have to give me a hundred bucks worth of services or benefits in return. WE all have God's permission to grow Cannabis. If it were not allowed, it would not exist!!! God does not charge a hundred bucks for a permit. Permits are just another scam technique for the ReverseRobbin'Hoods to rip us off with impunity. aka taxation without representation aka exploitation of the People and abuse of power aka "just us's" aka the "deciders" dearchristianconservative:

The voter base that comes along with supporting the legalization movement is the proverbial ace in the hole. Think about it, why else would he want to dodge the issue and avoid directly confronting it. It is a simple problem to solve. The bills that would fix the problem are introduced every year to Congress and every year subsequently shot down before they even get out of committee. It makes me frustrated, but I see no relief in sight for the next 2-3 years, but by the time 2011-2012 comes around he is going to sweep in to mop up all the praise for "single handly solving the problem". For the mean time the DEA is going to stuff their pockets as full as they can with OUR money/ medicine all the while saying SCREW YOU, WHY DONT YOU TRY TO STOP ME! The point is, is that YES it is only a matter of time before sanity is restored, but for people that are DYING and getting their medicine STOLEN by the ones who are supposed to PROTECT US, it might be TO LITTLE, TO LATE...and that is the biggest tradegy of them all......

Sold by the States and splitting the revenue 50-50 with the Federal treasury, it the permit cost $100 per year, and if even one-third of the estimated 30Million Americans who use marijuana each year were to obtain such a permit, it would pump a Billion dollars into the public pocketbook AND rip the guts out of the criminal drug gangs' cash flow. Right now, we put our own children in prison with violent criminals for doing something that both our current Democratic President and the recent Republican Vice Presidential candidate acknowledge having done themselves.
