President Calderón: “There is traffic in Mexico because there is corruption in Mexico. And that is true. But with the same argument, if there is traffic in United States, it is because there is some corruption in United States.” (at about 3:00 mark of video).

I am the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog. I'm married, live in Portland, Oregon, and I am a registered medical marijuana caregiver in this state. I've worked days as an IT geek and nights as a professional musician. Previously, I have been the host of my own political talk radio show on satellite radio. I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" for my work producing Oregon NORML's TV show, "A Cannabis Community Forum", and for helping to institute Portland's wildly successful medical marijuana cardholders meetings, where we help sick and disabled Oregonians acquire cannabis plant starts, learn gardening, and understand the medical marijuana law. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to be our daily voice.
U HIT THE NAIL RITE ON THE HEAD!!!!!!!! WHAT MORE CAN I SAY
THERES ALWAYS BEEN CORRUPTION IN THE US THATS HOW MARIJUANA PROHIBITION STARTED NOW ITS JUST ON A BIGGER SCALE CAUSE U GOT MORE DRUGS COCAINE.METH ECT….. BUT EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT IT FROM THE LITTLE PPL TO THE HIGHER UP IN GOVERNMENT THERE JUST SCARED TO TALK. AND MOST LIKELY THERE GETTING PAID VERY BESIDES THIS GOVERNMENT HIDES THERE CORRUPTION VERY VERY WELL ???????????????????????????????????????
Of course there’s corruption in the US government. It’s not even hard to see if you think about it. Nobody is growing coca plants in this country, but there is a huge cocaine problem. All of this coke is coming from South America, and the DEA knows this, so they could make an effort to completely stop the flow, but they spend nearly half of their resources on Cannabis plants, including Hemp. If I had to guess why, it would be that they can’t find an easier way to fund the CIA and all the little projects that we don’t know about.
