I am the producer of The NORML Network, the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog, and NORML's Outreach Coordinator. 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" and I travel across the country to educate people on marijuana reform. 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 give voice to the Marijuana Nation and to speak for those who can't speak up.

    I understand you posted this along time ago, but I do have a reply for you if you care or not. What outlaw tobacco? You get alot of tax money from it. Alot of people that do smoke (weed) and don’t smoke cigarettes. If they are going to outlaw tobacco wait for me to die first. Another thing that is more on topic, and is common knowledge, CCC’s, Robitussin, NoDOZE, and sea sickness medicine are all legal and if taken enough can get you more intoxicated than the fattest blunt of strongest chronic, and the listed above can cause long term health problems or death. Legalize something that is proven not to kill you to spare lonely people from taking these other options because of the unavailability of getting marijuana.

    Why not legalize marijuana to restore the pursuit of happiness?

    Why not legalize marijuana to tell the government not to tread on me?

    Why not legalize marijuana to make it harder for children to buy?

    to make it easier for police to detect DUI from the strong odor?

    to help with my glaucoma?

    to help me lose weight that I gain from beer?

    Leave me alone you bunch of communist government Marxist bureaucratic scum of the earth with your over reaching crimes against humanity.

    It no longer makes sense to waste money on the war on drugs when other counties are benefiting at the tax payers expense…shouldn’t we make that income for ourselves and be a more evolved and UNITED country once again. More people would benifit from this than are now.

    I would rather smoke then drank… when i was with my ex n he would drank he became very violent and if anything should be outlawed it should be zanex pills (Bars),,,, alchole should be more controlled…… you dont hear people killing people when there high on weed but when people are drunk or drugged up with other drugs people do crazy things…. i believe in a small sentence in a bone thugs~harmony~ song and it says if everybody smoked the world would be a better place and i do believe that is mostly true its a relaxent just like a perscribed muscle relaxer Im PRO FOR LEGALIZING MARIJUANA IN TEXAS and not just medically but to use as if we were buying ciggarettes ((OUTLAW NICOTINE)) AND ((INLAW WEED))
