I’d also emphasize the public safety angle. To free up room for pot sellers and smokers, somebody who should stay in jail gets out a little early, or gets supervised a little less while out because the probation and parole burden is so heavy. Take the pot people off the list, and those people in and out of jail who need to be watched closely get watched closely.

California’s experience with medical mj should help. Those people are peaceful and law-abiding (except for pot laws), are clearly adults uninterested in selling/distributing to children, and are overall not disruptive to peace and order of the communities they live in.

The money angle is important as well. Whatever your opinion is of pot, is it worth it spending scarce dollars to prosecute people who partake of a drug that is more likely to make people passive, relaxed? Who when high are of little danger to the community?

But that folks like Donald Scott’s wife (she used to cruise the wwweb on occasion), the family of Capt Odom and her crew and all the rest – including the wrongful LE deaths – should remain unspoken (except by us) is utterly catastrophic. As our media continues to catch on to what we’ve been pounding them with since forever, we in turn need to keep ratcheting up our rhetoric. We need extreme positions, if only as the sharpened points of our movement. Had we not had folks that initially raised (and maintained) the reparations issue or stood adamant for the “legalize all drugs” position, we would not be where we are today. The attachment of LEAP’s core criminal justice folks with us smot poking couch potato DPR types was inevitable and made us that more potent a force to be reckoned with.

The wwweb is and has been our domain, one which we’ve held the high ground on since it’s Al Gore beginnings… there is a reason we discuss publicly and they don’t. We need to continue wielding that reason (and reasoning) like the vorpal blade it is. Snicker snack, as the fella said…

I Asked her what she thought of it. She said she thought it was crazy and what did I think of it.(GOTTA LOVE THESE OPPORTUNITIES)

I told her I would love to see it legal not only in Cali but, nation wide. Her eyes got big and ask”Why in gods name would you want that?”

I started by saying theres almost no pyhsical addiction to it, not to mention there are valuable medical uses for it and theres a ‘POSSIBILITY’ of it being able to be used to treat or kill cancer cells.

Now I know some of you may be thinking I went off on a cure all rant. NO i didnt, I know it isnt and wouldnt.But I explained the Shaffer commision ,nixons war on drugs, the fact that prohibition makes drugs very valuable/reasoning for the terrible loss of life in Mexico and a few other FACTS we all know.

She came back with suprise on many of my FACTS. Told her these facts are well known. She asked why one wouldnt get addicted to the high content of nicotine in marijuana? I ask where she heard there was nicotine in it, She said the news from government on tv. I explained nicotine was made by cig comanies and put in cigs only, marijuana doesnt naturally have nicotine. “OHHHH!” The light went on in that head. I explained what happened to my father when he died of cancer and how medical marijuana could have helped with his pain and loss of appetite. She asked why there werent human studies and tests. I told her government wont allow it and keeps it illegal.We need to reschedule it and get government out of the way. She said” Well for gods sake , it needs to be legal then!”

My job is done today. To bad I dont live in Cali where this conversation really could have helped.
