In reply to the discussion: 56% of Americans support FULL legalization of marijuana - newest Rasmussen poll [View all]RainDog

This issue has to catapult entire federal propaganda machines, not to mention religious ones.
I really think this is one of those issues about which the internet has changed people's minds - information is powerful.
The information about medical marijuana, combined with studies from various nations that are available online - data about arrests and imprisonment.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think most people want to spend tax payer dollars arrested more than three quarters of a million people per year for simple possession.
There are real crimes out there that need attention.
