4. K&R

I never understood why a government would declare war on its own citizens. Policies in place since Nixon have been a massive failure. I believe it is fair to say it is time to look at other options.

5. norm stamper is an idiot

but he's right about MJ.

i've said it before. a lot of cops (and i am talking real cops, not just administrators) are for legalization or decrim.

we don't make the stupid laws.

6. Unfortunately, they don't mention

the money our govt.and private prisons make off of the
criminalization of Marijuana. Add that to the CIA financed
operations through the sell of marijuana and the lives ruined
over the use of a stupid weed. I know our court system makes
huge money from prosecuting people for possession. It is a war
against our citizens. I personally do not use it, but when I
was younger, I did.

8. Cenk has discussed that topic on previous shows.

It's insane!

[pleah]

9. K&R The only explanation I can think of why it's still illegal is because...

...there must be some really powerful corporations who want to keep things the way they are.
