Pot laws are no laughing matter

By MrSpof on April 1, 2009

Aaron Houston, Director of Government Relations for the Marijuana Policy Project, says the laughter on laws that are killing citizens should stop … and so should the prohibition of marijuana:

President Obama responded last week to the most popular question submitted by online voters – whether marijuana should be made legal in order to bring this huge underground industry into the legal economy – by treating it pretty much as a joke.

But the time for jokes has passed. Our marijuana laws are killing people.

The solution is obvious. After all, there’s a reason these gangs aren’t smuggling wine grapes. Prohibition simply doesn’t work – not in the 1930s and not now.

MrSpof hails from the Gulag Commonwealth of Virginia where he has been burning the sweet leaf for 28 years (and counting). The utter hypocrisy, injustice, and lies from our government about cannabis are the fuel firing my passion and NORML's kind hosting of my news posts and rants gives me an outlet for that passion. If you're reading this, you CAN make a difference. Donate to the acronym of your choice (NORML, MPP, DPA, etc), come out of the cannabis closet as much as you can, and make YOUR voice heard!
