help end the war on marijuana

Recommended Posts

The war on marijuana is a complete failure.

Billions of dollars are wasted every year. Police officers' lives put at risk daily. Out-of-control Mexican drug cartels have ravaged our borders, killing thousands of people every year. It's so bad, even Mexico's President called for a debate on legalizing marijuana this week

Our government needs a reality check - it's time to end the war on marijuana.

So we're launching a massive campaign to fight for legalizing marijuana that we're calling "Just Say Now." With the support of the grassroots group Students for Sensible Drug Policy, we'll organize thousands of people to support legalization at the ballot box this year and beyond.

To kick off our campaign, we're bringing attention to the unjust, unpopular, and racist reality that is the war on marijuana. It's a war that must end now.

We're organizing our Just Say Now campaign to put a stop to the federal government's war on marijuana. To do that, we'll organize activists to identify and turn out supporters in states to vote for marijuana in the 2010 and 2012 elections.

This campaign will be a game-changer. Our partners at Students for Sensible Drug Policy have already organized 150 campuses and thousands of student activists. We're poised to make a huge impact to legalize marijuana.

This November, California will vote to legalize marijuana, and 3 other states will vote on medical marijuana regulations. Thirteen states and DC have already legalized medical marijuana. Poll after poll shows huge majorities in states and the country support legalizing marijuana.

Despite this popular support, the federal government's war on marijuana continues. Just last month, federal agents raided several completely legal medical marijuana farms and dispensaries.

Join us in calling on President Obama to help end this war. He should join the debate to legalize marijuana.

We're excited to Just Say Now to legalizing marijuana. Thanks for all you do.

the cops around here don't give 2 shits about weed anymore. In the rare event somebody gets busted with nugget my fuckin tax dollars are paying for all the court/legal fallout over some twit carrying an eighter. Its FUCKIN STUPID! There's potholes on Hiawatha Boulevard where you could lose a compact car they're so big and we're wasting cash on prohibition of a non lethal plant. Gimmie a fuckin break.

Legalize weed, regulate it in a way you CANT regulate illegal substance, tax it!!! States be mutherfuckin broke and people still wanna play around with weed?! They need to grow up and get a brain -_-;

They need to legalize it with an age restriction like alcohol is 21. That way they can actually arrest underage users for an actual offense. Instead, the highschools are full of potheads and when police see them smoking they just confiscate their crap and they get a small lecture. The police can arrest for underage drinking, but where pot is concerned its not an offence. How is that even a war on marijuana where the end user has no concerns? its nothing but a waste of money and doesn't even affect street prices or supply.
