"Thanks to White House's Online Petition Program"
"It looks like President Obama will have to officially respond to requests to legalize it nationwide."

It's time to get rid of the ridiculous, unenforcable law criminalizing weed....
There was a special supplement in yesterday's Sacramento Bee called "A Guide to Local Services: Medical Cannabis."
Basically, med marijuana is a booming business.
Dispensaries pay taxes and create jobs LOCALLY.
In this economy, both sound like really, really GOOD THINGS.
I just don't get the disconnect.
So much federal enforcement time and money is wasted on marijuana, often in direct contradiction to local laws.
Don't the feds have Mexican and Columbian drug lords to take down?
Or if they really want to do something positive, how about going after the epidemic of CRANK makers/users???
Making marijanna illegal makes about as much sense as making liquor illegal 90 years ago. But unlike liguor, or even cigaretts, name one person who died from smoking marijuanna.
The big pharma and illegal drug lords don't want weed legalized. Everyone else is cool with it. We just have to keep voting the bums out until we have a government that does what WE want.
It won't matter what The President feels about the law, there are enough religious loonies to keep it as a "dangerous drug"
13 years of prohibition and the Mafia running the economy taught the American religiously impaired nothing, which is what they always learn from major stuff ups ....nothing.
Goddunnit again!

I want to know what the people here think; should cannabis be legalized? Frankly, I cannot respect anybody who believes it should remain illegal. Not only is cannabis virtually harmless, it is beneficial in small quantities. Its criminality ruins the lives of literally hundreds of...
