State Rep Georgia need help let me know!!

Our web site    http://www.trm3-801.org/

I am a young college student; barely 21. I have thought about running a multi-billion dollar company. But it has always been with the product being marijuana. I would love to pay taxes, and advertise my product, and test it. I would love to create thousands of jobs and help create a solely american product. But the laws prevent this so i cannot move forward. taxes would create astronomical extra income, property sales would increase, and money would be saved by focusing on harmful drugs. Marijuana or rather, Cannabis has never been proven to have negative effects in anyone longterm. I have smoked it for eight years now and am active in sports, politics, and other social areas. Regulate it and the people will praise you for it.

You don't have to wait for a national campaign to make a difference! You state reps want to hear from you. Find out if there is active legislation in your state. Write to your reps and ask them to support medical cannabis. Aiding the sick and dying is no longer "taboo." (Go figure.) Many state reps need to know that supporting this cause is not tantamount to political suicide. Be active at the state and local level, and keep your eyes peeled here for national news, along with MPP and NORML!

I just complete my daily email to the white house it only takes a second join me in this effort to move our issue forward.

Guys, good news.
http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/02/03/daschle/index.html
Tom Daschle won't be head of HHS. At least we have that.

I would like to propose that someone approach Mike Phelps about sponsorship. That is, lets get him in an add supporting marijuana. Sounds like he'll be needing endorsements after being caught smoking a bong in celebration of his Olympic victory!

Marijuana won't ever be legal unless we stop looking at it as if it's a drug. It is, but so are many of the things we love most; ie aocohol, cigarettes, non-perscripton medications. In america, drugs aren't illegal. What is are those certain substances whose recreational use outweighs their other uses. So, what is the first step to making Marijuana legal? First, we need to present it as a budget issue. The programs that cause recreational smokers so much trouble are spending a good chunk of our mational budget. Everyone sees the signs that these programs are inadequate, so why not reduce them to save money? This is something elected officials are more willing to accept.
The next step doesn't deal with Marijuana at all, but hemp (the male). Hemp is already used in many imported products and approval for it's use in industry would open American's eyes. Most people don't know the facts about hemp and how useful it can be. Not to mention, the Constitution is printed on hemp. When hemp becomes widely accepted, it's sister will soon follow. Currently, many states have programs that tax Marijuana, even though it is illegal. We can join the fight for no taxation without legalization. People already have to evade the law, and they don't need the added charge of tax evasion for possession wihout a tax stamp. Having said this, the best outcome would be to keep the taxes and legalize it.
We can also fight the budget by arguing for less harsh penalties for those in the system for marijuana use or sale. People don't like the idea of legalizing Marijuana, so present them with the idea to make it a minor violation. Most people are more willing to cooperate when you present them with probation instead of jail time and a fine instead of probation. It would be huge to have possession not show up as criminal, but like a traffic sitation.
This is just what I think. Peace

Don't forget to go to this website about Michael Phelps's bong incident:

http://blog.thehill.com/2009/02/03/why-condemn-phelps-when-we-ought-to-condemn-the-laws-that-brand-him-a-criminal/

I heard that they might actually try charge him criminally for it! It's clear that this makes him just another victim of the War on Drugs. Now the best Olympic athlete in history might be put in JAIL for smoking cannabis. Make sure to comment on this!   

Let’s talk about morality....  

What's more immoral than locking up our citizens for using a harmless substance while condoning and profiting from the consumption of more dangerous substances like tobacco and alcohol (not to mention many dangerous prescription and OTC drugs)??  

What's more immoral than refusing patients safe, affordable and effective medicine and threatening to throw them in jail if they use it??  

What's more immoral than continuing to prolong this war against a plant that could actually be a means of reversing global warming and providing a valuable clean and renewable resource for fuel, paper, construction materials, clothing, not to mention the most nutritious edible seed in the world??  

You may want to dismiss this as a bunch of potheads who just want to smoke their herb freely, but you fail to realize that the picture is MUCH MUCH BIGGER!! There are so many reasons why we should be utilizing this plant, not just for herbal relaxation, but for the good of every human on the planet!!! 

What's immoral is continuing this policy of ignorance!

I read on ONDCP that they have picked a new acting "drug czar" for now. I'm not sure if he is there permanently or not, but I believe he was someone from during the Clinton administration. Not sure what his feelings are on DEA raids and whatnot, but I think he'll be better than the previous Bush administrations' cronies. Anyway here's my feelings about our upcoming battle for legalization. Recent events have actually made me think that this might happen sooner than we think. All in only a short period of time, Michael Phelps gets caught in a picture ripping a bong, and Obama's half-brother gets arrested for cannabis possession (not here in the USA, but still). They can no longer ignore the problem with our laws, because of all the living proof of the damage that has been caused by prohibition. All it does is make criminals out of people who really aren't criminals.

So my prediction is:
There will probably be some sort of Federal decriminalization in the next 4 years. Whether this will be rescheduling cannabis to a more appropriate level (like 3 or 4 or something-- not sure what the rules on all these are) or just Barney Frank getting his bill through Congress. Frank and Ron Paul have their work cut out for themselves on this one, but I think we can pull it off now with the new Congress (we'll see). Last time they introduced legislation there were a lot of cosponsors on it, probably will be even more this time. I'm hopeful at least.

As far as all-out legalization, maybe if he gets re-elected for another 4 years. I think Congress is not fully ready to allow full-out legalization because of the problems they think that will cause them. We shall see... I would love to have it legal within his first term!

Right On, Christopher!
Good idea to put the #1 issue first.

CHANGE THE CAMPAIGN NAME TO 
RE-LEGALIZE CANNABIS!
(a.) "re-legalization because it's true" ~(kellysmith?),  There is a LONG HISTORY of Cannabis use [as pointed out by (David G.??).]; IMPLY IT WITH ONE WORD.
(b.) Use the name CANNABIS because it is SCIENTIFICALLY CORRECT without so many past connotations of all the other names that remind people of "Reefer Madness" and other propaganda. [keep in mind that BRO BHO is interested in SCIENTIFIC approaches ].
(c.) "Cannabizz" ~(dokkie u.)  is a good name for the Commercial aspect.   
(d.) "yeah, the unconscious mind is a funny thing" ~recentMPPblogger agrees. -- The far right knows this. It is a good technique to find exactly the words that carry the exact connotations we need to communicate. This tech can be used for disseminating truths as well as "fictions".

I really do think we need to legalize marijuana, not many people realize how much this would help with the economy and with the problems we are having with running out of room in jails. This would also help bring the US more money, we can tax tobacco, we can tax marijuana.

Nobody wants to talk about this-
...because nobody wants to appear soft
on people who didn't really do anything?

We seem to be going backwards with this. I have been smoking since I was 15. I'm not going to say how old I am, but let's just say I'm not young. When I started it was a misdemeanor in the state and city in which I live. I now have to worry about going to jail for smoking a herb (weed). This country has it's priorities all messed up. Enough is enough. Progress not Regress.

I am glad that legalization is on the top of the list still. I really appreciate the effort that has been put forth so far to stand up and speak about how YOU want change.  This is just a stepping stone. I believe that if you legalize cannabis and have it regulated, people just might wake up. I'll stop before I start rambling.

THANK YOU FOR STANDING UP

The American Marijuana Movement of 2009

Imagine how many of our grandparents would have been criminals if we arrested consumers of alcohol during Alcohol Prohibition.  During that sad period in our history, efforts were concentrated on the suppliers, mainly because of the sales taxes that were being avoided.  When prohibition of alcohol was lifted, a system of regulation and taxation was put in place that works well to this day.

In this modern "Drug War" , consumers of of America's oldest known safe and tolerated medication, cannabis, are having their lives destroyed.  Parents and children are being torn apart.  If we really value the family in America, we will stop arresting non-violent cannabis users.

I agree with Ani – we should be speaking in terms of re-legalization. And make no mistake, legalization – not decriminalization - must be our goal.

This is true for many reasons, but IMO the most important is that only legalization removes the supply chain from the hands of criminals. Decriminalization continues our ill-advised policy of funding and arming not only street gangs, but vicious drug cartels and even terrorists. Legalization moves the supply chain into the hands of licensed businessmen who will settle their grievances in the courts rather than on the streets.

Hey Nanc;
You don't believe alot of valuable resources, especially at the local and state levels, on the enforcement, incarceration and "treatment" of cannabis consumers is a waste? There is alot of money and other resources involved, and they could be freed-up to do more to help than to harm.
Candidate Obama said that it was time to rid government of what doesn't work and retain that which does work. If the war on cannabis is so successful, then it is incumbent upon him, and the others who feel the same, to explain why. And if it is such a success, then why not use it as a model for other programs?
It is clear that the issue is a big one; that's why it is #1. The war on this plant is responsible, in large part, for the cynical view held by today's youth of law enforcement officials and elected officials. This society has effectively removed the community peace officers from the community and replaced them with militarized warriors. If we would simply take the War out of the War on Drugs, we might be able to put "peace" back into peace officer and place the peace officer back into the community, where they belong.
So, yes Nancy, the issue is big.
And it's time for a change.

I've broken free from the ice and I have electricity again!!!   Now it's time to continue the good fight for legalization.  The government really came through and helped re-build my town and I'm thankful, but now it's time to re-examine these evil corporate anti-marijuana laws.

I am very happy that the time has come for rational adult discussion of the drug war policies and the effect it has on American families, the job market and even the vested interest it creates in sustaining the prision-industrial complex. In a country where people can be ajiled for a plant and then hired out to private companies through programs like "work release" it becomes apparent that there may be a problem. We are creating a new type of slave labor and that is just on tiny facte of the problems we have created. We should not have a society that profits off of creating criminals and locking people up or running them through the legal system.

Also the effect on higher education because of the impossibility of getting Federal financial aid makes it very hard for felons to right themselves. It makes no sense to limit opportunity to grow and become productive members of society. Instead they get caught in the same cycle of the system.

Additionally it makes it hard for ex-felons to get jobs, the most important factor in creating a healthy, crime fee life, is hampered. Once someone does a crime, if they go to jail, get probation, or DO whatever time is allotted by society, the stigma of the problem should not follow you around after that.

I hope we can work together to see that while yes there are problems outside of our country, starvation, genocide, and terrible human tragedies, there is much self-inflicted suffering in this country due to the drug war.

How do I know?
I am a single father who has raised a child while his mother is in jail for drug possession. We were already divorecd and I did not support her decisions, but by removing her from our son's life for a non-violent consensual crime, I feel that my son was slighted. Yes it was her actions, but what kind of a society are we that does this?

I can't seem to post this video

on Change.org. Could anyone help me? It's titled "Raiding California: Marijuana and Minors" and offers a very compassionate look at the people who are suffering without marijuana.

Here's the link:

I think anyone expecting Obama to act swiftly is being a bit unrealistic and threatening to not support him is counter-productive.

He knows the facts, but one of those facts is that this country, especially the government, is still under the influence of nearly a decade of misinformation and religious dogmas that are strongly against cannabis. 

We have made leaps and bounds in enlightening much of the public with the help of organizations like NORML and MPP, but we still have a ways to go.  Obama can't do anything on his own.  He needs overwhelming public support as well as the support of the House if he is ever to make such a "bold" step as to contradict what many of our previous leaders (including vice pres and drug-warrior Joe Biden) have been enforcing for way too long now.

Not to mention all the internal resistance and still somewhat lacking of public consent, but if you haven't noticed the world is in turmoil right now and I can't even imagine being the person everyone's looking to for solutions.

Yes, we know that cannabis prohibition is wrong and that ending it CAN make a huge difference in MANY problems facing our society.  That is exactly why this movement has to involve EVERYONE.  If you really want Obama to change this policy of ignorance then you need to be doing everything you can to make sure that the PUBLIC learns the truth as well as sending as many letters to your representatives as you can.

Obama is a rational man, but he knows moving too soon on this issue could be political suicide without full public consent.  If he were to loose political credit it could mean major difficulties in addressing many other pressing issues.

Keep on fighting, but don't act like Obama doesn't care.  He knows the truth, but he also knows the possible consequences and risks to himself and his ability to work with many groups who don't necessarily want or care about cannabis decriminalization.

First thing that needs to happen is the rescheduling of cannabis to reflect the medicinal qualities and the benign health risks.  That is a small step that would probably not be that difficult for him to make.

Whether Obama acts swiftly or not worldwide legalization of Cannabis would save the world's economy and cause the collapse of the Black Market. Marijuana is the financial base of the Black Market. Remove it and it collapses. Not to mention the many multi-billion dollar industries that come from the Cannabis plant i.e., Fuel, Food, Cltohing, Fiber, economic freedom and of course medicine. Wake up and smell the scent of money.

You know, this whole marijuana thing is out of control. We need to stop looking at it in such a negative manner. I grew up living with my alcoholic grandfather who would beat me just because he was angry for his own stupid reasons. I have NEVER heard of somebody smoking pot, and beating on their kids or grandchildren. I have personally seen alcohol ruin multiple lives. I have yet to see the use of marijuana ruin anybody's lives, only through the legal system has it hurt people's lives. Personally, I would rather weed be legal than alcohol any day. Alcohol is such a nasty drug when compared to marijuana, and alcohol is legal! It's amazing, the government needs to realize that this isn't a bunch of immature self-recognized "pot-heads", trying to make marijuana legal so that they can get high all day long. But that this is people from every level of life smoking this, who are tired of all the legal crap behing smoking it! These people pay taxes! and boost our economy through the businesses they own! These people are also working within our government who smoke weed! They have families and wonderful careers, and they volunteer, the list goes on and on. Ease up on marijuana, it's so stupid that all this money has to be spent on this issue, when there is so much more that needs to be worried about in America. Legalize it already. Enough of the beating around the bush, they know the stuff isn't that bad, but they aren't willing to admit it for fear of reprisal from their "comrades" in the government arena.

While I appreciate and sympathize with ending the drug war because of the myriad injustices it inflicts on those who use drugs, for whatever reasons they choose, I do not think that the war on drugs or cannabis legalization will ever be motivated by these concerns. In fact I think that those who support the prohibition do so BECAUSE they support these injustices being inflicted on others who they dislike or disagree with. 
But I do believe that legalization can happen. And happen sooner rather than later if it is motivated right. That motivation is the public safety and national security self interest of American tax payers. I think the most important argument against prohibition is the criminal anarchy on our streets and the terrorist anarchy around the world that are funded and supported by the prohibition black market economy.
I have written several essays about this on my blog, Aid and comfort. http://drugwartreason.blogspot.com/

Okay, you've gotten this far. Now what? I'll get off Change.orgs butt if we get this thing going but all I've seen so far is lip service. What do you want us to do and lets get doing it?
We have pictures of Michael Phelps, Arnold Schwarzenegger and probably a few other celebs smoking marijuana. The lie that cannabis is bad for you is been debunked. Lets go!

We need to debate people!

Start calling and emailing the people you and your fellow American's put in power!

If anything else, simply ask them, what their views on cannabis are. They'll probably say, it's too potent, gateway drug,  or what would are kids think. Nonetheless continue to inform them of the current reform and actual changes happening with marijuana legalization / regulation.


Start with your community,

Then with your city,

Then join up with your county,

And stand up with your state,

For this debate we will not look at our own agendas, or own race, or own thinking, but rather have scientific data and real society conquer fear tactics and guilt and shame.

We need flyers, brochures, stickers, freebies, hats and tee's, just start somewhere! Anywhere!

Save that bowl of freedom for after the fight, so you and everyone can see, the true goodness this plant has to bring to us all, esp. once you don't need the constant double-take for LEO's.

gen⋅o⋅cidePronunciation [jen-uh-sahyd]
–noun the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.

How long has this been going on in this country with cannabis users? Maybe we should end the Genocide against American citizens.

Legalize it
And I will advertise it

The only reason it isn't legal or will be is because there is to much money in it for the big boys, and they don't want to loose their gravy train. Just think about how much money is made by keeping it illegal . Look how many jobs are created and how many people are making a great living off keeping it a crime to use. If they would legalize it and tax it - that would make to much sense.

Rally the ACLU to Reform Marijuana Laws!!!!!

Subject: marijuana law reform
From: anonymous@mac.com
Date: February 4, 2009 11:38:53 AM PST
To: Executive_director@aclu.org



I support your organization and respect the work you do to preserve American's civil liberties. A subject that I have never heard the ACLU engage is marijuana law reform. It is my belief that putting humans in steel cages for using and/or cultivating a plant (a quite helpful plant by all scientific analysis) is the definition of cruel and unusual punishment. The dangers of marijuana are the laws and penalties imposed upon those who are caught violating them. The most heinous crime is the loss of personal freedom these laws circumvent. The most heinous of criminals are those that continue to support and enforce these laws. The internet community has spoken loud and clearly on this issue "if anyone out there is listening". The war on marijuana users has failed, marijuana users are good everyday people from all walks of life; plumbers, nurses, musicians, barbers, lawyers, programers, clerks, machinists, American presidents, American presidents brothers, students, doctors, artists, architects, Olympic athletes, cops, politicians, winners, losers, dreamers, and pragmatics; they are not for the most part, the media created wastiod stereotypes. Many responsible adults use cannabis to reduce stress and enhance relaxation, some for it's medicinal benefits still others as sacrament, a trifecta of bounty that in god's wisdom has been bestowed upon humanity. It is a wonder that "free people" would thank the creator by banning, eradicating, and criminalizing the fruits of this beautiful planet. I look forward to hearing from you on this subject. Failure to address this issue leaves me with questions as to just how serious your organization is about one of the biggest civil liberties violations facing America today.

If marijuana was THAT bad why is it slowly being decriminlized in many states? Do you think states would consider legalizing any drug besides marijuana? I doubt you will ever see cocain or heroin be legalized! Those are the drugs that need to be off the streets! Not mary j!

Paper made from hemp was used for books, Bibles,
maps, and money. You can produce four times as much
paper from an acre of hemp as you can from an acre of
trees at one quarter the cost, 1/5 the pollution, it is 10
times stronger and lasts up to 1000 years instead of only
50. And it can be recycled four times as many times as
paper from woodpulp. The Constitution was printed on
hemp paper as well as the first three drafts of the
declaration of independence. Even great sailing ships
like the U. S. S. Constitution were made primarily out of
hemp. Hemp is the strongest natural fiber on the planet.
Hemp is 26 times stronger than Cotton, and 10 times
longer lasting. The first Levi jeans were made out of
hemp as well as all of the soldiers clothes for the
Revolutionary war. It requires no chemicals to grow, has
very few natural enemies, and grows in the widest variety
of climates of any weed or plant. It is also the fastest
growing plant on the planet, growing four times faster
than corn. The seeds from the hemp plant provide the
highest source of complete vegetable proteins of any
food source on earth. Even higher than soybeans. It has
also been realized lately that the hemp seed is the
highest source of essential fatty acids in the world is
Essential, meaning: necessary for life, fatty acids are
necessary for us and beneficial for cleaning the
cholesterol out of the arteries naturally. All oils in the
supermarket are bad since they are placed in clear
plastic containers and exposed to direct sunlight. They
become as bad as saturated fats, and end up causing
cholesterol buildup, leading to heart attacks, et cetera.

   Secret History of America


 STOP  GMO's

Yesterday, the DEA simultaneously raided four medical cannabis dispensing collectives in Los Angeles. This is the second time, in as many weeks, that the DEA has defied President Obama’s campaign pledges to not use federal resources to undermine state medical cannabis laws.
Our community is in an uproar and we are not going to take this lying down! The L.A. Times even published an article suggesting that maybe DEA hadn’t gotten the memo that Bush is out? The U.S. Senate just confirmed Attorney General Eric Holder to lead the Department of Justice under the Obama Administration. We expect this to be the FIRST and LAST of the DEA raids under Eric Holder’s leadership. President Obama said he would stop the raids, and we aim to hold him to his word.
Enough is enough! Please make two short phone calls so that both the President and the Attorney General know that people are sick and tired of DEA interference, and intimidation in medical cannabis states. Tell your federal government that you will not tolerate wasteful spending by having DEA harass innocent civilians with smash and grab tactics.First call President Obama at (202) 456-1111, and then call Attorney General Eric Holder at (202) 353-1555. Be sure to call during office hours, Monday – Friday, 9am -5pm. Use this script for both: "Hi, my name is ___________. For the second time under President Obama, the DEA conducted raids on multiple medical marijuanadispensaries in California, despite the President’s pledge to end federal threats, intimidation, and interference in states that have medical marijuana laws.

Thanks for everyone's support! Mr. Fred Hood, I hope I have the chance to meet you in D.C. this July 4th! (http://www.trm3-801.org/) 
Also everyone check out http://www.globalmarijuanamarch.org/
Well I have two comments. First, make Michael Phelps the poster boy of this campaign! I am half joking and half serious. Second, if their is anyone reading this that would like to help out our grassroots initiative in NJ, check out the message boards at http://forums.normlnj.org/. Post a comment that you'd like to help out and either I or several other people will give you the information you need to know. Well I hope to here from some prospective volunteers! :) In the meantime, I'll be surfing to this website occasionally to see what people are saying. My advice to you, get involved with a NORML or MPP chapter in your state. Only we can bring about real change!
Peace and love to all.

Gandhi you can bet I will be there with feathers and bells on..

I have read all the post and as usual cringe when I see any negativity. Also when people say wait another 4 or 5 years. I say we push and have this issue ended in 2009. It has been too long to many people are in or going to jail. Too much money is being wasted daily. I am ready for this illegal war on our rights ended. Please be more be positive just like our leader President Obama said, yes we can. If we continue to educate and spread the word we can do it. Like the video Bear put up a link for, if more people could see this it would expose the stupidity and desperation the FEDS are using to protect corporate interest. Our leader is trying to get this corrected and refocus our representatives to our needs over big business. But hey have been selling our vote to the highest bidder so long it will be hard to turn them. We can do it don't hit me with them negative waves man.

Michael Phelps - 12 Olympic gold medals.  Santanio Holmes - Superbowl MVP.  Kareem Abdul Jabbar - 6 time NBA MVP.  Only losers smoke pot - It makes you unmotivated! 

Don't forget our Leader President Obama and Clinton (he inhaled) based on my personal experience 85% of the people I have come in contact with in my life enjoy a good smoke...

I think we need to have Charlie Lynch as our poster person. He was welcomed into the local business community by the mayor. Running a totally legal shop paying taxes only trying to help people Operating his shop by the rules voted on by a majority of free Americans in California. Now he faces 100 years in prison by our Nazi FEDS. With all that is wrong in our country they pick this person to enslave to feed the machine. He should be free and given a medal for his efforts. If you don't know who he is see Bears link above.

Fred, hows it going man?!

Amazing the things that have happened just in the past month in the marijuana world.  I can't wait to see the good things that come over the course of the year.

And Clinton didn't inhale, and he didn't like it, remember?  LOL

I have tried to contact MPP about getting a ballot initiative here in Kentucky, to allow medical marijuana and dispensaries. I haven't heard back from anyone yet. Does anyone know of a Kentucky MPP rep I can contact.
I would also like to try and organize "Hemp Aid" similar to "Farm Aid". I would like it to promote the benefit to the family farm being able to incorporate Cannabis Hemp into their crop rotation.

Where is A.N.S.W.E.R. against this war?  Mothers don't like durable clothing? How about dad's hunting vest, made from Romanian hemp. The old portrait on Hemp canvas. What if it really is medicine?

I had a friend that had testicular cancer and had to undergo chemo therapy treatments. He told me that the chemo caused him to projectile vomit so badly that he would have stopped the treatments and accepted the consequences rather then continue if he didn't have cannabis to calm the vomiting. The idea that he could have been arrested for smoking weed  to treat his condition is outrageous and obscene. I keep hearing about the criminal gangs that get rich from cannabis smokers purchases. Let me grow my own and the money I save will be used in helping the economy and the drug gangs will go out of business. Keeping cannabis illegal is what enriches the drug gangs.

I have developed a template for the distribution network for legalized cannabis. It is as follows:

1. No sales allowed to minors; the age of majority to be determined by the several states.

2. Commercial operations would be limited in square footage, and in the case of indoor cultivation, total wattage of illumination.

3. The commercial operation must produce all cannabis consumed and/or sold onsite.

4. To keep as much revenue as local as possible, licensing of the commercial operations would be addressed at the local level and modeled after current liquor licensing regimes. Commercial firms would be subjected to inspection, just as local drinking establishments are.

5. No alcohol sales in conjunction with cannabis sales allowed.

6. Personal cultivation of cannabis would not be regulated; however, the sale of cannabis outside the regulatory framework would be punished in accordance with current alcohol statutes (i.e. “bootlegging” and “moon-shining” would still apply to illegal cannabis sales).

Please share your thoughts.
In a debate a number of years ago, the then governor of New Mexico slapped down Asa Hutchinson handily, but stumbled when he said he didn't know how the distribution system would work. I developed this list and sent it to him. I was sent in return a very nice reply on gold-leaf stationary. I mention this only because some in government do realize it is time for change in this area.
So, let's better the above list and that will severe that argument from the debate.

I read a post that suggested a "Million Marijuana March" or some such thing in Washington, D.C.

I think that is a brilliant idea, but I would also like to offer what I believe to be a better version of the same idea. I will try to back up this idea as best as I can, but feel free to comment back with improvements or suggestions.

The main problem with marching on Washington, D.C. is that there are far too many people who can't make it all the way to Washington to participate in the march. Agreed?

Now, what if we chose a day, like April 20th 2009 for example, and organized a nationwide march in every major and mid-sized city? Think about it: The numbers in Washington, D.C. would be dwarfed in comparison to the numbers we could march with if EVERYONE across the country could participate without going to D.C.

If this were to happen, if we could all pull together and get this thing organized, and we pull it off successfully, there is no way that the media or the government will be able to ignore the thunderous roar of the masses who want something done about this! (Sorry for the run-on sentence...I get all motivated talking about this.)

So I challenge you America, all the masses of people who want to be heard... Find a way to spread the word to as many people as you can, in every community. Get the word out and MAKE OUR GOVERNMENT GIVE US WHAT WE WANT! And please, comment back with comments, suggestions, or improvements.

We have to stand together on this one.

LEGALIZE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ITS A PLANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just watched a show presented by the History channel, Even they show the Real story behind the prohabition of Marijuana

Even the History Channel is not affraid to tell the truth about Cannabis, End the war that was based on lies,
Stop the arrest that were fueled by dishonesty

If the history channel can tell the truth
Then so should our goverment!

As someone who suffers from chronic pain I'd like to see the DEA disbanded and pot legalized.  Although we have medical Marijuana in Colorado I can't use it because I get my medical care through the VA. If allowed my doctor would write the script but then I'd have to find a dealer to buy it from.  Legalize it, tax it and quit locking up people whose only crime has been the non violent use of pot. With so many soldiers coming back from this war with injuries the time has come for the government to get rid of the brown shirts (the DEA) and serve the needs of their citizens.

Raquel, I just read your comments.    What crime was committed?  Saying Marijuana should be legal?  I'm a former law enforcement officer and no crime has been committed here.    You should get the facts before you post.    There is no evidence that marijuana does anything to the human body other then cause euphoria and a relaxed state of mind and body.   I've worked from the time I was 11. I also smoked pot from the time I was 13.  I stopped when I became a mother mostly because I didn't have the time.  I suffered no withdrawals or negative effects.  I stopped smoking for the same reasons.    Most soldiers smoked pot and fought for their country with valor.  Should we deduce from this that smoking pot makes you a hero or a great soldier?  Of course not.    I also worked as a drug education specialist and have a degree (actually 3. Human service, Criminal Justice, and counseling with minors in special ed and business) and can tell you there is no proof for any of your statements.  They are old wives tales many of which were given out by the government...this same government that produced the movie Refer Madness

May 1st is the International Day of protest.

The Million Marijuana March has been going since 73 when Yippies Dana Beal and Cures-Not-Wars started it in NYCity. Since then it has spread world wide in over 230 cities from a hundred people to several thousand. I call it the Global Ganja Gathering or just 3M, this year it will be May 2, 2009. Usually in SF its a day of hemp booths and speakers, music, food and a March @ 4:20. Not much mainstream press and usually not a lot of harassment unless its an election year or you act like its legal and taunt the cops. Thats S.F. - Okies might call the National Guard...

In a republic like ours, people often think that the proper response to an unjust law is to try to use the political process to change the law, but to obey and respect the law until it is changed. But if the law is itself clearly unjust, and the lawmaking process is not designed to quickly obliterate such unjust laws, then the law deserves no respect — break the law.- Henry David Thoreau

Here's my two cents...

I have been waiting 12 years for things to change. Ever since I started smoking it, I've have known the truth about how harmless cannabis is (and that they lied to me in DARE). Over the years I have learned a multitude of reasons why it's illegal [money, greed, racism, power, corruption] as well as why it really shouldn't be.

You may think this isn't an important issue and that we've got bigger things to deal with, but I disagree with you. The implications of prohibition are far reaching and profoundly unjust especially in the case of cannabis.

Back in 2000 I ended up locked in jail with murderers and meth addicts for three months, humiliated by having to piss in front of a cop, repeatedly strip searched and handcuffed like I was some kind of animal. In total I lost possession of about two years of my life and thousands of dollars.. what was my offense? I sold a $10 sack to a kid wearing a wire, what I saw at the time and still do see as a victimless crime of a tiny magnitude. I mean 1.3 grams of some harmless herb and I lost all my rights, was labeled a felon and went through hell personally and with my family members.

Is this justice? I was certainly no criminal. I was your average 20 year old who happened to prefer cannabis to alcohol.  I was just 2 years out of high school and attending a full time machinist program at the local tech center, which I thankfully finished shortly before going to jail.

I had overwhelming support in the form of letters of character reference from everyone including my principle and you know what they told me? "We think [simplecj] needs to realize the seriousness of what he's done. We recommend 90 days jail time, up to 3 years probation with weekly piss tests, completion of out-patient drug rehabilitation, plus $1000 fine and restitution.

SO, now I'm a 28 year old who regularly smokes (since the day I got my termination papers), I'm happily married and about to graduate from 6 years in the engineering program at my local university with a 3.45 GPA (one of the highest in my class).

I was a virtual POW in this pointless war and I'm really pissed off that it continues to happen to hundreds of thousands of people every year despite the mountain of evidence that not only vindicates cannabis as a recreational substance, but goes much much farther in praising the plant for it huge varieties of uses; from medicine to fuel for our cars, healthy foods, durable clothing, building material... the list just goes on and on.

IT'S TIME FOR THE INSANITY TO STOP!!

We need to end prohibition just as Nixon's Shafer Commission recommended back in 1972. The injustice and ignorance has become disgusting and saying this isn't an important issue is outright insulting to anyone who knows the hardships good people have gone through because of our draconian laws.

This travesty goes way beyond our borders and is actually been aiding in the oppression and persecution of many people around the globe. We've set the example of being "hard" on drugs and have expected other nations to follow suit, and most of them have... enough is enough! Prohibition of cannabis does not work and should actually be considered a crime against humanity, It's time to restore the staple crop of civilizations from ancient China to the early United States, we need it now more than ever!!

It is very simple I am not a stoner I am just tired of being RULED by fear. We as Americans have lived under this system too long. Our lawmakers are seduced by greed they use fear to control us and reap the millions paid to them by lobbyist. They tell us you don't want legal weed or universal health care it is bad and evil and will not work. They accept millions from lobbyist for the liquor, cigarette, insurance, medical, and many others to tell us lies.

Holy crap. Sheriff Lott is certifiable.

We've now learned that since investigators began trying to build a case, they've made eight arrests: seven for drug possession and one for distribution. These are arrests that resulted as the sheriff's department served search warrants. We've also learned that the department has located and confiscated that bong. Sources say the owner of the bong was trying to sell it on eBay for as much as $100,000. The owner, who wasn't even at the party, is one of the eight now charged.

GOOD RIDDANCE

I hope he doesn't get to carry a gun!

The odious Chief Kerlikowske carries with him to Washington the blood of young Kristopher Kime. He ordered his officers to stand down whilst an innocent man was beaten to death - all because the precious mayor's approval ratings were savaged by his handling of the WTO riots. Yet another pathetic and scurrilous addition to the Obama administration.

This is like Barney Fife running the CIA. They should make him the deputy director of National Park Security so he can better control the chipmonks. He'd feel important and it would be harmless unless he lost his gun again.

If I would have known all these losers would leave with an Obama win, I'd a voted for him.

This will be a very poor reflection on the Obama admin if true.

Here is a guy has obsessed over gun control, which is really not in his job description. Among his highest-profile efforts have been sex-policing (huge Craigslist sting of '07, strip club raids, massage-parlor raids). All while petty crime like assaults and such spiraled. And he lost his Glock when it was inadequately secured.

Norm Stamper was 50x the chief. If this is what the Obama admin is about, we are in deep yogurt.

Every person that is tired of the tyranny we live under join me in Washington D.C. on July 4 2009. I am personally tired of our representatives supporting big business over what it best for America. I feel we should be able to criminally prosecute our lawmakers for accepting bribes and voting to guarantee corporate profits. They illegally enslave us in prison and ignore the rights we are guaranteed by our founders. To me this is the worst crime against humanity in history. I only wish the minority that still buy the lies and look down on cannabis users like we are some kind of pond scum. Would wake up and see through the lies and greed. To me this small portion of our country are the most hypocritical narrow minded perhaps slightly retarded or sadistic. I have never harmed anyone and believe in Live and Let Live also the Golden Rule. I feel if the truth were know these people would still want to put us in jail for pure meanness. Back to my point be in DC on July 4 2009 lets send a message they will not be able to ignore.

[b]Latin American Panel Calls U.S. Drug War a Failure[/b]

By JOSE DE CORDOBA

MEXICO CITY -- As drug violence spirals out of control in Mexico, a commission led by three former Latin American heads of state blasted the U.S.-led drug war as a failure that is pushing Latin American societies to the breaking point.

"The available evidence indicates that the war on drugs is a failed war," said former Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso, in a conference call with reporters from Rio de Janeiro. "We have to move from this approach to another one."

The commission, headed by Mr. Cardoso and former presidents Ernesto Zedillo of Mexico and César Gaviria of Colombia, says Latin American governments as well as the U.S. must break what they say is a policy "taboo" and re-examine U.S.-inspired antidrugs efforts. [b]The panel recommends that governments consider measures including decriminalizing the use of marijuana.[/b]

Associated Press

Mexico has been besieged by drug violence amid a two-year government crackdown.

The report, by the Latin American Commission on Drugs and Democracy, is the latest to question the U.S.'s emphasis on punitive measures to deal with illegal drug use and the criminal violence that accompanies it. A recent Brookings Institution study concluded that despite interdiction and eradication efforts, the world's governments haven't been able to significantly decrease the supply of drugs, while punitive methods haven't succeeded in lowering drug use.[/quote]

Lets face it America will never be drug free. Millions of citizens take billion of dollars worth of drugs every year. Some help some are harmful and will kill you.

So why do some take drugs and go to jail. While millions take even addictive dangerous drugs some a clone of an illegal drug and fear no retribution?

Check the statistics the poor and powerless go to jail for taking something that helps them. While the upper class and rich take derivative of the same drug and are respected for their personal choice. 

While the poor and powerless are jailed to maintain corporate profits. The Major drug dealers (legal) pay millions every year to our lawmakers to insure they differentiate between the two legal/illegal.

They sponsor the Drug free America Organization for god sake while selling drugs to millions. They do not want a drug free American they want a monopoly on the drugs you take. And will pay to put you in jail if you do not chose their drug. Over one that helps you does no harm and you can grow and have free.

I once said they cannot make money on weed this is why they enslave Americans. But thanks to our lawmakers that put the main ingredient in weed THC in a different category. So if you can synthesize chemically the THC you can sell it, they call it Marinol. Now they legally sell synthetic weed legally thanks to our leaders.

On the other hand the poor and powerless go to jail at the rate of one every 36 seconds for using the very same product. If this fact does not wake you up you must be brain dead and it wasn't from smoking weed. I have for 40 years and I have a very sharp mind my patience is what is wearing a bit thin.....

Government patents cannabinoids? No Medical Value?
http://www.topix.net/forum/source/ukiah-daily-journal/TK2GGQ9DU4SFDDC87
The U.S. Government is so sure that there's no such thing as medical marijuana, they decided to patent it.

The Counterculture Colonel
http://www.topix.net/forum/source/ukiah-daily-journal/TQA1RMFFJNR4NJPR8
Dr. James S. Ketchum, a retired U.S. Army colonel, was into weapons of mass elation, not weapons of mass destruction. He oversaw a secret research program that tested an array of mind-bending drugs on American GIs, including an exceptionally potent form of synthetic marijuana.(Most of these drugs had no medical names, just numbers supplied by the Army.) "Paradoxical as it may seem," Ketchum asserted, "one can use chemical weapons to spare lives, rather than extinguish them."

Mairdinol is Synthetic Sabotage
http://www.topix.net/forum/source/ukiah-daily-journal/TRJAGJRDDVSVN5C2O
At the 10th International Conference on Drug Policy, 1996, USA John P Morgan MD, Professor of Pharmacology, City University of New York Medical School, said of Marinol, the synthetic THC marketed in the States, "In a recent study, the scientists gave patients 20 mg of Marinol by mouth to see if it increased their appetite. Not only could they not detect much appetite-increasing effect, but they learned the interesting fact that, in one-third of people who take Marinol by mouth, you have no blood levels at all. The drug is so poorly bio-available it's surprising that it got onto the market. There may well be some reason to believe that there are individuals in our government who are interested in getting Marinol on the market to diminish the pressure for marijuana smokers."

Vices Are Not Crimes  by Lysander Spooner, 1875

I dare you to read the whole thing.
DWR: Thursday, February 12, 2009
http://blogs.salon.com/0002762/2009/02/12.html#a3297

The next time someone says "Well, if you want to legalize drugs, why don't you just legalize murder while you're at it?", I want to strap them down and force them to read this...

... but their reading comprehension would probably fail catastrophically, and then I'd be stuck with a vegetable strapped to a chair.

A Vindication Of Moral Liberty

I.

Vices are those acts by which a man harms himself or his property.

Crimes are those acts by which one man harms the person or property of another.

Vices are simply the errors which a man makes in his search after his own happiness. Unlike crimes, they imply no malice toward others, and no interference with their persons or property.

In vices, the very essence of crime --- that is, the design to injure the person or property of another --- is wanting.

It is a maxim of the law that there can be no crime without a criminal intent; that is, without the intent to invade the person or property of another. But no one ever practises a vice with any such criminal intent. He practises his vice for his own happiness solely, and not from any malice toward others.

Unless this clear distinction between vices and crimes be made and recognized by the laws, there can be on earth no such thing as individual right, liberty, or property; no such things as the right of one man to the control of his own person and property, and the corresponding and coequal rights of another man to the control of his own person and property.

For a government to declare a vice to be a crime, and to punish it as such, is an attempt to falsify the very nature of things. It is as absurd as it would be to declare truth to be falsehood, or falsehood truth.

"One may well ask: How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others? The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws."
-- Martin Luther King, Jr.

I was thinking in a "discussion" about jury nullification being criticized by Liberals because the rednecks abused it getting lynch mobs out of jail. So using it for growers is somehow taboo. These people actually cast votes and drive cars, I kid you not. They obediently sit on the jury and hope the judge gives them an autograph. Never think of questioning why the defendant doesn't say it helped his spasms or it was grown for sick seniors and sanctioned and blessed by the city of Morro Bay. The difference is NO VICTIM. Therefore NO CRIME using Ganja. Big list of Victims hung by the neck until dead. But they see no difference? Free Speech unless it makes people nervous or it cost you a sponsorship or grade. States rights unless the DEA gets permission from the drug bizczar. Judges reading cop chicken-scratch in case they need a little warrant tweaking to justify raiding sleeping grannies on snitch testimony.

When I have doubt, feeling blue, think the world is full of wingnuts without a clue. I turn to the good book, Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Seems the core of being an American is dwindling away in censored foster care schools and the nanny state, molding the minds of the youth. To shed intellect for brute strength, prime beef beer and processed kelloggs. Football boot-camp primers. To grow up with cameras and strip searches, pisstastes and the constant feeling of guilt, shame based obedience. Questioning is a sure sign of dissidence, someone to keep an eye on. Possible candidate for drug intervention, ritalin cocktail to quiet those annoying questions and conscience. Cardasian Justice, guilty till proven innocent. You must be one of them. Yup, sure am. I've kept this old Spooner quote since the gitgo.

"There has been no clearer principle of English or American constitutional law than that, in criminal cases, it is not only the power and duty of juries to judge what are the facts, what is the law, and what is the moral intent of the accused; but that it is also their power, and their primary and paramount duty, to judge the justice of the law, and to hold all laws invalid, that are, in their opinion, unjust or oppressive, and find all persons guiltless in violating, or resisting the execution of, such laws."

SSDP: Take Action!
http://tinyurl.com/democracyinaction

President Obama has finally selected his "Drug Czar," Seattle Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske. It's our job to educate him about the failures of the Drug War and the need for change!

Step 1: Sign the Petition

0-25 of 1410 signatures

Dear Police Chief Kerlikowske,

Congratulations on your nomination to direct the Office of National Drug Control Policy.

You certainly have a big job ahead of you. 76% of Americans know that the Drug War is failing. We are looking for serious answers to our nation's drug problems, but the government has thus far refused to change course.

We are hopeful that you will be more receptive to sensible reforms than your predecessors have been. After all, it was under your watch that the city of Seattle embraced harm reduction principles, openly discussed alternatives to prohibition, protected the rights of medical marijuana patients, and made marijuana possession a lowest law enforcement priority.

Over the past several years, we've been pleased to see your police force tolerate open marijuana use at the city's Hempfest, which draws more than 300,000 people annually. By refusing to arrest these peacefully assembled citizens, you stood with the 76% of Americans who support the decriminalization of marijuana.

As you direct the nation's drug policy, we urge you to follow through on the promises that President Obama has made, including:
-Ending the racially unjust disparity in sentencing for crack and powder cocaine.
-Ending the practice of prosecuting patients in states with medical marijuana laws.
-Supporting harm reduction programs such as needle exchange.
-Shifting drug policy toward a public health approach.

Ultimately, effective drug policy should be grounded in science, public health, racial equality and human dignity. We hope that you'll be the Drug Czar who finally gets it right.

Dear Police Chief Kerlikowske,

It would be in your best interest to work with the American people not against them. We are more aware now of how and why we even have this so called war on drugs.

We are working hard to end the war on our rights. I personally have little patience for anyone that would prefer to jail citizens rather than try and help them. Our youth is being destroyed not by drugs but our own system which gives them a criminal record for making a personal choice.

If I went to the store every day and bought a fifth of vodka and drank it no one would break down my door and put me in jail. But if I smoke a weed for my relaxation (a personal choice) I have the power of my own government against me.

I am not going to list the thousand of reasons why, I am just going to say the majority say end the war and we are tired of waiting! Legalize-Regulate This is the only acceptable option...

Please see this earlier post: 
The Drug Czar is required by law to lie
http://blogs.salon.com/0002762/stories/2007/10/09/theDrugCzarIsRequiredByLaw.html
>>>The fact of the matter is that the Drug Czar can't be a reformer as currently constituted. He's required by law to lie, remember?

First of all, I did sign your petition. But in fact I believe it is mis-spent energy. The drug czar is legally required to ignore and in-fact distort a petition like the one you are sending him into lies. 
SUGGESTION: Start a petition to have that law changed. Maybe we should suggest changing the ONDCP's legal charter to REQUIRE that it investigate and review drug laws when new evidence comes to the fore (like the hundreds of studies done on Cannabis in the last 20 years).
Peace,
M

Petitions can bring awareness or show strength and weakness. The Nixon lie needs exposure and until then the lesser evil is harm reduction by the bizcar doing less than its predecessors... A show of force might persuade Oblamo, and he is about the only one in the entire frickin cabinet worth addressing. Bliedon contraGates and Goopy are worthless. Waiting until its legal to toke is like the forefathers waiting for the Beatles to start the revolution. Besides its bad karma to obey bad laws.

Just give me some truth...

What to do with the problem child Drug Czar?

I favor the tiger theory of Rodney Dangerfield, eating their young or abortion as citizens, forfeiting their BOR like they do peoples houses. I used to say in the 90's before prop 215, when we passed measure A, that the cops don't come out of the box trained in not busting pot tokers, give em time. For almost 20 years as a hospice home health aid cannabis caregiver whatever, I've never had a problem with cops. They sometimes come with the coroner and I tell them the patient used Ganja and its not a problem. Never in 40 years of almost daily toking have I had a problem with cops, never busted because I don't sell it and I try to keep my name out of the headlines. So I know they aren't totally void of compassion or sense. They choose stupidity as a way around the initiatives. So if local cops can "see" then highly trained narkoslut DEAth Merchants can too. Times way up. Any moron can see Ganja has medicinal value, isn't addictive and poses no threat to society and still for 40 years they continue the lie. I don't believe anyone is that stupid and if they are they certainly shouldn't be toting live weapons.

Penn. Judges Get Kickbacks for Placing Youths in Privately Owned Jails
http://www.democracynow.org/2009/2/17/penn_judges_plead_guilty_to_taking

An unprecedented case of judicial corruption is unfolding in Pennsylvania. Several hundred families have filed a class-action lawsuit against two former judges who have pleaded guilty to taking bribes in return for placing youths in privately owned jails. Judges Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan are said to have received $2.6 million for ensuring juvenile suspects were jailed in prisons operated by the companies PA Child Care and a sister company, Western PA Child Care. Some of the youths were jailed over the objections of their probation officers. An estimated 5,000 juveniles have been sentenced by Ciavarella since the scheme started in 2002. We speak to two youths sentenced by Ciavarella and to Bob Schwartz of the Juvenile Law Center.

I feel we must do something to help Charles I have donated to his site and signed everything I can find but feel it is not enough.

Mr Lynch opened a cannabis dispensary in California. He met all state, city, county laws. The mayor of his town was at his grand opening. He helped people and did nothing wrong. The FEDS came in and arrested him and at his trial he was not able to defend himself with the truth. This is Nazi tactics if I have ever seen them. Even our President has said this is not right and backed off the FEDS Nazi tactics so hopefully this will not happen again. But what can we do to help this man?

He did nothing wrong he complied to all state local laws he hurt no one. He should be freed and made whole by the FEDS. If any one has ideas of something more we can do let me know or post ideas here.. If this man does one day in federal prison it is a major loss for our cause. Not to mention the pain and injustice it will cause him..PLEASE LETS DO SOMETHING!!

Morro Bay Lynching

Legal criminals work in the government. The most horrendous crimes ever committed. Done be pencil neck geeks shuffling dead trees all covered in blotches of ink. DEAth Merchants only do what we let them. The anti-drug thugs, gossipers and fixers. Lie and get airwaves because we let them.

Better to bleed us slow and avoid a revolt. Toss crumbs to a few to envy the rest, divided is best. Gut the checks and balances and elect employees. Busheney master race gets away with it. Worse person in History, and half of the voters voted for it. 63% of the German’s voted Hitler in. The US loved Mussolini. Thailand murders 5000 for Souder and gets friendly nation status. Colombians get modern agent orange dumped on their kids, while their government cashes billion dollar checks from Johnney Pee.

Outlaws fill a need of the people, illegally. Growers buy local and We the People seek them out. We buy Ganja, they don’t sell it. No commercials, flip charts on demographics. No twins at the superbowl selling sacks of chronic. Trust after time, eliminates shopping, and it doesn’t change all that much over the years. Except the prices, not usually too drastically. Bust one and another supplies. People want their Ganja.

Growers provide Ganja for people who want it. Public servants. DEAth and it’s minions of worriers, threaten the people who never ask for their protection. Protecting the “public”, a corporate non-entity. Doesn’t exist in real terms, with molecules and atoms. Same as the reefer demons hurled on stoners. Stigmatized and ostracized, shunned and caged. No defense in court, this is not Justice. Million tax dollar team facing what one person has, “State” is another one of those non-entities.

We the People are real. We bleed. “Corporations” don’t bleed. The “Public” can’t bleed. A crime should have a victim. It has to be committed. No victim, no crime, no crime, no time. Cops can’t be victims of what they don’t experience. Asking for Ganja, just to arrest and hopefully cage a person is sic. With fake doctors, doctors doing harm. Seems like entrapment. Fake doctorcops making sure torture victims didn’t die too soon.

Insurancedocs without medical knowledge, writing scripts and diagnosing treatment. Siding with the AMA and DEAth in spite of their own physician students. Politicops we voted for disregard us once they’re intrenched. Sciencops thinking up bad things, lies and half truths, to keep it from ending grants and overtime and competition.

Seems like a lot of things King George did, are back again to haunt us. OiNkDeCePters Politically tried to sabotage Barney’s law. Our $40 billion tax bucks paid him to be anti Democrat? Forbidding Free Speech to tell the jury why you did something. Basics, Guantanamo would even allow it. If you murder someone you can tell your side. If you grow pot the Feds shut you up, and instruct the jury to not listen.

How does that work? How many DEAth are sitting there with them, making sure we don’t add any evidence or truth. Entitled to a jury of our peers, peers don’t kill you. But that’s why he did do it your ho nor, NO. “Fed’s DEAth” says so. That’s it. 404 but 404 but 404, numbers don’t bleed. — DdC 8.8
