  • Cops for Legal Pot

    Cops to California Voters: Legalize It! | Criminal Justice | Change.org

    The letter's release comes after all nine former heads of the Drug Enforcement Agency -- that is, the former heads of a bureaucracy with a vested interested in maintaining costly drug prohibition, regardless of its failure -- wrote Attorney General Eric Holder last month expressing "grave concern" about Proposition 19 and asking him to suppress the will of California voters should they embrace legalization. (See Firedoglake founder Jane Hamsher's response).

    -----------------------------------

    Just more proof the federal government does NOT cater to the will of
    the citizens. They have their own agenda and the voters aren't a part
    of it.

    This looks like legalizing it in a big way and not just medicinal. Possibly
    so that any adult can buy it like at a smoke shop and simply pay tax.
    Will generate billions in revenue, stimulate the economy in California
    and reduce crime. Then, it should be an obvious ok for growing hemp
    for industrial use there - another massive multi-billion dollar industry
    waiting to happen.

    Here is a response against the DEA agents that don't respect the
    constitution.

        Of course the DEA thrives on criminal activity and want as much as possible
        so it legitimizes their own existence.

          Legalizing it only to make tax money how pathetic , it should be legal as its the ONLY safe MEDICINE /stimulant in the world . Should be legal in PRINCIPLE. Lets not forget its the highest grossing bio mass crop, that's why DuPont and the petrochemical industry conspired to make it illegal, the phony government sponsored medical and refer madness stuff is all propaganda and part of the suppression.

          There is not one plant which has as many medicinal uses, its the safest drug (i call it a medicine) in the world. The only time you can get killed from pot, is if you get run over by the Hash truck transporting it

          check these out for an idea of what history is involved, my money is on what Aaron said

            Often, the best way to de-fang a (perceived) threat is by removing the context in which it is a threat.
            If mary jane is legal, then it marginalizes the criminal activity associated with it & allows law enforcement to focus on REAL social threats (crack, human smuggling).

              Yes. Aside from smoking it to just relieve the undesirable side effects of chemotherapy I have read that using the oil from hemp on cancerous growths or ingesting it will actually cure cancer.

              But there is a problem chemo drugs are big business and can cost thousands of dollar a month, how much would it cost to grow a weed???
              That would be unfair competition and we don't want that do we?
