Tue, 08 Jun 2010 17:48:04 +0000 http://stash.norml.org/?p=13266#comment-60410 It's funny how Florida is in a state of delusional denial about how to go about solving the country's marijuana problems. IFirst of all...if you've never done drugs, you should not allowed to hold political office. Only someone who has gone through the motions before can truly understand where people are coming form. Not rich snobbish fancy lads who had all their good fortune inherited and have never stepped off their porch into the real world before. People should read a book called Lame Deer, Seeker of Visions. In it it will explain to you that if you are a person seeking to help other, you must have gone through what they have, not armchair theorized about it. A leader is one who can empathize, not sympathize. BIll Nelson is a sham, and should be shot outside the governors mansion on live television.

I don't mean to be negative or cynical, but I'm certainly skeptical... :wtf: It seems most of the legislators from this beautiful state have cold ugly hearts hell-bent on not only perpetuating prohibition but expanding law-enforcement budgets with "technologies" that will eventually leave no one with any right to privacy. :rifle: :readit: Good luck with Florida even “considering” any rational policy regarding marijuana, medical or otherwise.

Im so sick of these legislators playing the hard on drugs stance, to me it should be a clear sign that they dont have the puublic intreasts at heart they just want elected. Throw more money and people at the problem, well that hasnt worked for the last 72 years, when will it be too much, too much money, too much cost of life JUST too many lives ruined all for a impossible goal, a Drug Free USA? Its not going to happen, it didnt happen for 5000+ years prior to prohibition and it wont long after they end it and they will end it when the people of this nation finaly see the light and relize the violence and corruption prohibition brings is far worse than any damage the drugs themselves do. This guy is a tool of the old system and needs removed at all cost. If these guys cant start seeing and speeking the truth then they need to go and we as a movement have the power to make that happen we just need to do it. Sorry this letter really pissed me off, just the lack of knowlage and concern he shows, its sick to think he has no idea the amount of money wasted and lives ruined, Hes a TOOL!

I live in Florida which is "considering" medical Marijuana programs. I've contacted this guy among others, never got a reply.
