What's often referred to as democratic socialism, with a mix of public and private.

That's how, some argue, the UK has been able to remain a "nation of shopkeepers" - i.e. small businesses that benefit their local communities.

I want cannabis to be legal because I think it offers many health benefits, not just a buzz. Scientists in the mid-2000s finally were able to see and describe the way in which cannabis produces apoptosis in cancer cells. The way cannabis kills cancer cells (various cancers) is by surrounding the mitochondria of a cell (the part of a cell that produces energy for a cell) and isolating it. This "suffocates" the cancer cells, while leaving healthy cells intact. Chemo blasts away at both healthy can cancerous cells.

Research into this is not going to happen while cannabis is illegal here.

If your anti-capitalism makes you also anti-science - well, that's not me. (edited to add - sorry for being rude. my apologies. my point was that I think there are multiple reasons to choose legalization.)

Washington citizens need to be involved in the creation of their laws.
