I don’t need a study to tell me an herb takes the edge off my MS. The fact is we shouldn’t even be having this conversation. We live in “America”. We should be able to make this choice without the risk of jail time!

All this being talked about while the DEA is using tax payer money to say medical science has proven marijuana is not a medicine and saying it is , is just trickery so that marijuana can then be made” legal”. Well, I need my medicine, and I don’t need a study to tell me that the quality of my life is better when I smoke marijuana.

Alaska`s congressman, Don Young is as ignorant & sheltered as I was in third grade, MPP speak to Alaska too!! I sent a letter regarding federal decriminalization & he used the same Reefer Madness arguments that were disproven & publicly denounced over ten years ago!!! Blaaaagh, how can we win this war. Its like fighting Hitler with brown eyes & a jewstar on our foreheads!!

Its becomming very clear to me, that the stupidity of all these prohibitionests and the media, legislators and citizens truly show that cannabis isnt illegel due to the danger of using marijuana. Its more because they have been scared into this Drug War, they have been conditioned for years to reject any logical reason for marijuana use. All because since the day it was set in motion, in the 1930s, when a few men decided to lie and cheat in order to scare the public into criminalizing the one plant that mankind had used since the dawn of man as Hemp produtcis, 5000+ of them and Medicine, the only real medicine for centuries, they did it all for profit and greed and left us holding the bag on a broken and shattered policy that has failed us on every turn. The majority wants some sort of reform, they dont want their kids locked up, their mothers or sick grandparents in jail, they dont beleive the lies and dont fear the change needed to lessen the hold drugs have on our nation. Yet with all that Prohibitionests and many others still fight and hold dear that fear that they need us to have in order to control and profit from this policy!

This is a mess and they wont even talk about it, let alone make any changes. Wake up Sheeple, we are losing our rights every day we continue this stupid policy!

I agree Bruce Mirken (#20) when I got the reply from him I was even shocked . He did not even know about HR 2943 I had to educate him with the reply to this email from him and state facts that may do so as well as should educate as well as show the logic as well as very good reasons why for him to support the bill and cause . I just hope he uses his brain and does the right thing and not be ignorant afterwards and does help support HR 2943 and other bills that may come that is moral , logical and for the good of not just our state but also that of our nation. Lets see now what he will say and do … that will tell us whose side he is on…..

bruce, that is exactly what i though. the court just sided with medical cannabis in san diego ca saying they have a right to be their for buisness. the congressman can’t even get this little part straight. lets vote him out! how can we expect them to reform this atrocity that is prohibition.
on a sad note. i met a person yesterday that was a professional, and had traded his profession to venture in the realestate markets and was now down million. he was self medicating with alcohol saying he just wanted to sleep and forget about his situation for a little while. he was liquifying the inside of his body and is at the start of a tombstone. he had a slight yellow hue to his skin. at risk to my own job is asked him a few questions. i asked him if he wanted to see his grandkids meet some of their mile stones. he smiled and said yes. i told him that the drug, alcohol he was using to self medicate would kill him in five years. i asked him if he had thought of cannabis to medicate with. i told him it would serve the same purpose with out the consequences. number of deaths from alcohol millions, from cannabis 0. he said that he hadn’t thought of any of this and he would ask his doctor about getting a presciption for cannabis. i didn’t have the heart to tell him that it is still illegal for this use but maybe the doctor will see the compasion in filling this presciption and save this mans life. like i said very sad. i hope i see that man again in 5 years.

Pfizer is nothing more than a legal drug pusher. 770 billion is way to much to even grasp. It is sickenning that they must keep a natural herb illegal to be able to rake in that much money. Whats next pfizor controlled cannabis. Bullshit. I will not ever buy any marijuana product, of any kind’ from any government run business.

Jeremy R (#17): Congressman Stupak’s ignorance is breathtaking. The Supreme court did NOT overturn the law, it merely said a state law doesn’t provide protection from federal prosecution, and courts have been quite clear that state medical marijuana laws do not violate federal law. It’s nice that Mr. Stupak is willing to have hearings, but he does need to educate himself.
