It is time for the Government to legalize all plants, every single one of them. No one should be allowed to control whether a human would like to use a plant that naturally grows from our beautiful earth. Here are some facsts from http://civilliberty.about.com/od/drugpolicy/p/War-on-Drugs-Facts.htm about how much of a problem the pointless war on drugs has become. Legalizing plants for medicinal purposes is like a band-aid, it does not get to the root cause. No one can control what God has put here. Please Sign this Petition to President Obama and tell him that the Government can no longer control mother earth.

Human Cost of the War on Drugs: According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, 55% of federal prisoners and 21% of state-level prisoners are incarcerated on the basis of drug-related offenses. This means that over a half million people are presently incarcerated as a result of antidrug laws--more than the population of Wyoming. The illegal drug trade also sustains gang activity, and is indirectly responsible for an unknown number of homicides. (The FBI's Uniform Crime Reports describe 4% of homicides as being directly attributable to the illegal drug trade, but it plays an indirect role in a much larger percentage of homicides.) Monetary Cost of the War on Drugs: According to the White House's National Drug Control Strategy Budgets, as cited in Action America's Drug War Cost Clock, the federal government alone is projected to spend over $22 billion on the War on Drugs in 2009. State spending totals are harder to isolate, but Action America cites a 1998 Columbia University study which found that states spent over $30 billion on drug law enforcement during that year. Constitutionality of the War on Drugs: The federal government's authority to prosecute drug-related offenses theoretically stems from Article I's Commerce Clause, which grants Congress the authority to "regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes"--but federal law enforcement targets drug offenders even when the illegal substance is manufactured and distributed only within state lines. Public Opinion Regarding the War on Drugs: According to an October 2008 Zogby poll of likely voters, 76% describe the War on Drugs as a failure. In 2009, the Obama administration announced that it would no longer use the phrase "War on Drugs" to refer to federal antidrug efforts, the first administration in 40 years not to do so. These Facts are outdated but no matter the numbers, no matter the facts, we need to be able to do what we please if we are not harming anyone.
