You MUST let the Obama staff, that will be doing business with european counterparts to be pro-cannabis, you see Sweden will be The Swedish EU Presidency during this summer and their policy regarding cannabis is NortKoreaish to say the least. It is a sectarian cabal of anti-narco fundamentalists that are lobbying this in Sweden, they are funded by the government etc etc. This is an international cry for help. Yup, nicotine is bad stuff

I have been smoking MJ since 1968. I even moved to Kathmandu, Nepal for two years because I liked the hashish! But, since 1968 I have owned and operated several successful businesses, been employed as a customer support manager for a software company, been a highly-regarded software engineer, and finally retired to a foreign country. During this period I regularly used MJ and hash, and, for periods of years, did not use these substances. There has never been, to my mind, the slightest question of addiction with cannabis -- I can start and stop using at will, and have, when circumstances required it. On the other hand, I have not used tobacco since 1968, and I still crave it, and dream about using it, almost daily. Now that's addiction! I am absolutely at my wits end trying to deal with this BS.

Not everyone in America sees this for the piece of shit that it is. Yet, it really is not their fault they are so ignorant about cannabis. These people were raised to trust their bungling government by their parents and not having the curiosity to think for theirselves, they just don't know any better about cannabis. To anyone living in a state of happy, ignorant, complacentness... there has never been a more important time in the history of the United States of America to question your government. The American government does not have it's citizens best interests at hand and has not for a long time. You are a bunch of piss ants to them and they operate on their own agenda, not the desires of the populace. Many politicians vote on policy with their biggest campaign contributers interests at heart instead of what the people want. This is not what our founding fathers ever, ever had in mind. What really infuriates me is the ONDCP force feeds this trash to every American dumb enough to believe it. Paying for it with our tax dollars makes it feel like we are getting raped with our own penis. "Pot-heads, dopers, left-overs from the 70's" whatever they want to call us... are people with a right to pursue happiness too. The ONDCP pumping out one crap-a-ganda tape after another doesn't make them better people. The ONDCP is as ruthless as they are wicked. If people that fall for their dribble, hook, line, and sinker, knew half of the things our goverment did to oppress different ethnic minorities of this country with far more dangerous drugs than cannabis, they wouldn't be so quick to trust everything they say. If we want a change, as Pelosi stated, we do need to get out there and deprogram as many of these people as each of us can. Short of waiting for all of the senior citizens of America to expire, this is our best option of a bill like this ever, ever passing. We should try to raise money and combat the ONDCP with the truth on a level that hasn't been done before. We need to discredit the ONCDP every chance we get. There is no reason we can't just rip apart every lie that comes out of the ONDCP in a very public manner. NORML sponsored Talk-Radio would be an awesome medium to tear the anti-cannabis wall in America. We all do need to write our congressmen. Those of us in states that do not have medical marijuana programs inacted, get out there and start collecting signatures. Lets be honest with ourselves, cannabis needs to be acknowledged as medically relevant by our federal government before adult use and possession will ever be decriminalized or legalized. While not a violent person at all, seeing the ONDCP get away with all that they have since the Nixon administration drives me to the threshold. I am getting infuriated with the situation in America regarding cannabis/medical cannabis and will pursue every legal avenue to abolish prohibition.

Okay, so i guess this means meth, coke, crack, smack and ecstasy are less addictive?
