The drunks in the White House view unregulated cigarettes as harmless, as does John McCain, while they are trying to reclassify marijuana into a narcotic. Juan McCain is simply not fit to command the USA. He is a corporate sellout high on his own venomous lies.

Yes, but sadly, the "sovereignty" of the states is limited... in other words...

...if the laws passed by the states are in approval by the Feds, then there is "sovereignty". Unfortunately, Federal law trumps state laws.

Case and point: California passing a tougher emissions standard for automakers selling cars in that state. The EPA still has this law held up in the courts!

And how did the USSC determine this, by invoking the interstate commerce clause. Jeez, talk about legislating from the bench.

Several states have passed medical marijuana laws and by a wide margin. I have no doubts that people like singinrick would oppose it (even though we are told to use the plants and the animals), but at the very least the libertarian wing of the Republican party has some sense when it comes to this issue.

Guess it''s better in the Pharmaceutical Companies eyes and government eyes that we load our bodies with man made chemicals that they make money from-forget the hellish side effects on our bodies and minds- and give up natural drugs.

Not me!! I say "GO GREEN, AMERICA." There are no fluorocarbons going into the air from manufacturing pot, it''s not made of plastic, it does return to the earth in natural form, it could make money if it is handled correctly, it doesn''t fill up the landfills with useless chemicals. If it''s ecologically correct, then why not make it legal. We are trying to save the environment and this is totally natural, so what''s the problem???? Some butthead has decided it''s illegal and there is no basis for that ruling!!!

Support GOING GREEN, AMERICA!!!!

It''''s amazing how Democrat and Republican, Conservative and Liberal can all come to a consensus on how ridiculous Marijuana criminalization truly is. It kind of shows you how much power we really have in our own government.

...you just have to pay for it!

(example: Pharmaceutical companies ensure that marijuana use remains illegal from the federal level).
