		<description>Little more than 200 yrs ago i believe 55 men and 13 colonies stated that &quot;We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness—-That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.&quot;

We are allowed the persuit of happiness if someone does something illegal and hurts others while they are persuing then they should be put away for the crime the original persuit, &quot;Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new Government&quot;, the government arresting over 700000 ppl for personal use possesion to me seems that someone is taking ppls freedom for their right to persue what they feel will give them happiness. If the ppl speak the government should listen if they dont our fore fathers were sure to put an escape clause, although i dont suggest all out rebellion yet, next time we go to vote it is time to make sure our voices are heard and get rid of the mighty idiots that think once elected they are there for life!!! ( One last comment be sure to know your rights don&#039;t let them find you and give you a felony conviction because besides being a negative on your background check they also take your voice at the ballot boxes, Hmmm if we lock up all the pot heads then they cant vote against us? just a thought)</description>

		<description>It&#039;s funny watching the government try to control something they can&#039;t, but scary when you think they don&#039;t really care if they control it.  

They don&#039;t care because it is a $12.6 billion (your number) industry.  You know how many drug enforcement officials and politicians salaries that money pays for - a lot.  This is the real reason why they don&#039;t want to legalize it.</description>
