You all sound like beggars for food knocking at the master house. This is our country not theirs. This is not about which party you belong to for your politics. This is not about medicinal remedy. I have been a conservative my entire life. I have also smoked pot, on and off, for 30 years. I do not agree with the approach of legalize and regulate. This is a constitutional issue and a common sense issue. I don’t need or want a bureaucrat telling me something is black when I know it’s blue. Is this Russia or America? Wise up people get involved and tell them what they are going to do not the other way around. They work for us and “us” should be about 30 million strong. It’s my body and my property. If I want to smoke, it is my business. I want to grow some plants in my garden to cover me for the year. That is my business. The tax man and the criminals who would seek to control it need to kiss my ass. Take your country back people. Republicans and Democrats need to stand on the same side on this issue and send a clear message to our elected servants and government employees on both sides of the isle that this insanity has to stop or we’ll vote them out!

Just cause you believe it true don't make it true. Should have asked him if he still thinks Santa Claus is real.

Sometimes I just squint and shake my head at what I am reading. I agree it gives ammunition to the enemy when we cannot even get a point across and many words are obviously misspelled. May I say, though I agree with you, I try to overlook our socio-economic and educational levels because there are many people who use marijuana that have diverse talents. Some are great at expressing themselves musically, for example, and try their best at writing but may fall short in one aspect of writing or another. I try to look past that and attempt to understand the essence and logic of the post. Computers make it easy, no need for a dictionary - Highlight, copy and paste into Word or the basic word processing program that's built into every operating system...it's there, and then correct all the underlined things (spelling, phrasing etc.) right click for the correct choice and BINGO! ...a beautifully written post, paper or article. Also, I'll wheel in my chair to any million person "End the Drug War" march. side note... MS patients, try Lavender and edibles for so much relief of aches and to sleep a full 8 hours! I do agree.

One thing I disagree with is the fact that so many of you say something that has great meaning and holds powerful truths and you give it less weight by not using a dictionary to correctly spell what you say. Please take the time to type the correct words so the enemy can't say that potheads are all you are. You have the power to make an impression (not empression or empressun) on intelligent people that just don't know all the facts yet. Let them know that you finished school and are not just another high school dropout that couldn't cope with learning basic communication so you turned to smoking pot. Rob Kampia asked you to be sure to spell your words correctly for a reason, not just because he's some kind of a nerd. He is well educated despite the fact that his bust cost him his first career and that is why he founded MPP. Because he got busted. If you sound like you don't know how to spell, then you sound like you don't know what you are talking about. We need your help very much so go get a dictionary and keep it by your side and you will be of far more help to the cause. Thank you for all your input and lets keep the pressure building. Talk to all your friends about joining MPP with a five dollar a month donation and add an additional five dollar donation to a transportation fund. Then choose one of the t-shirts as your free gift and wear it all the time so you make a statement everywhere you go. And then start to work at getting ready to make planned and organized march on Washington. If a million black men had the guts to join together and pull their resources to provide transportation so everyone could get to Washington at the same time to make a statement, so can we. Lets plan to make this happen and ask the fine people at MPP to develop a strong organized march with ten million marchers. I"m confident that this is possible and that we can and will make it happen if we try hard enough. We can bring all races together and prove we are one people standing for one cause.
