none of those issues Wired brought up are MORE important then legalization of marijuana. I would agree many are of equal importance. Any issue which needlessly incarcerates so many people while inflicting numerous other harms on the general population cannot be ignored for any other issue. I realize the economy is not going well but I’d much rather be out of a job then tossed in jail or shot by some gangster. Marijuana prohibition (and other drugs in other locations) is causing the collapse of entire countries (i.e. Mexico). Seems like they would agree with norml on this one. especially since they are already decriminalizing personal possession of cannabis there.

the idiocy or trolls or the self righteous arrogant opinion that only a snotty journalist douchebag can deliver,
also, people need to come up with their own jeers and stupid comments for a change, anything relating to “trolls” such as dont feed blah blah what have you clearly says to me that they are a complete tool, though he does make a good point, manufacturing is more important then legalizing a recreational drug, though, both should be and need to be looked at as its a complete waste having the major profits from marijuana go to canada and mexico, tackle the easy one of legalizing and taxing marijuana, then, maybe he can lower the capital gains tax that encourages companies to move out of our country not to mention if he forces every company in america to provide health care with govt assistance will bankrupt them and this country, good goin obama, you douchebag,

I stopped reading Wired magazine when I was in my mid twenties. Their articles were written with false “facts” and the layout of the mag didn’t appeal to my age group. Why are they still around?

Wired Magazine would have the world think that people who are concerned about reforming our cruel and unusual Marijuana Laws are trolls. I bet the Nazi’s said similar things when all their handicapped neighbors were taken away to camps, never to return.
Wired, I am a U.S. ARMY VETERAN. If it were not for trolls like me you might be living in a country that is not free. A country where your opinion would not see the light of day. I have suffered to protect your freedom!!! My voice is being heard in every survey and one day my cause will win. When God is judging me concerning Marijuana, my plea will be that I gave it to all my dying friends and some of them were allowed to come back and visit me in my dreams after they had passed. Yes, Wired Magazine, God is on the side of Mercy. There is still time to join our side Wired. Or you can just keep your head in the sand and ask God for forgiveness hoping that you are not too late!!!!

Only a person without the ability to ADD, could say this is NOT am important issue, it collectively allows everyone “relief” without any REAL cost. Boson Globe said it i think , THE MIRACLE DRUG! so I can see where the greedy control freaks come out of the woodwork! Now others still want to be in control, for there share!!!

What?!? More people in more places will read my words and genuflect to my superior intellect and airtight argument? I don’t know how I will ever recover from such an affront!

Tee hee… no worries, mate – spread my fertilizer far and wide, just tell ‘em where it came from.

That Wired article sounds like trolling for hits because he realizes we are a large and opinionated crowd. Don’t feed THAT troll

Russ,
You hit this one out of the park!
Touchin’ every Base!
There is NO good argument for the further criminalization except prejudice.
I wish WIRED would print your response!
