2 cents. Hooray for Don AND at last some sensible
legal news. Keep up the GOOD work Don!
Drugs KILL. But let's compare something as over-the-counter as tylenol vs pot. What's the score? Tylenol KILLS thousands; it certainly is lethal. Pot doesn't; it's ZERO. Who are the real villans? I'd point to the drug companies and forget Don.
When we gonna wake up? Let's start making sense
and get rid of the greedy pharmaceutical corporate ba....rds whose only morality is the money in their pockets. They're not thinking half as much for me and you as say, Don does. In the process, I wonder if they're actually planning to kill us all, before the whole world is consumed/destroyed with their greed.
Legal? Who says it has to be legal? Why does our goverment think it has to control everything we do? Moses said "Let me people go!" He didn't come up with a plan to legalize, register, and tax the manna eaters.
Ditto on HEMP! Let's start growing and using all this plant has to offer! Check out:

You should buy a plane ticket to Amsterdam and see how a free society REALLY lives. Coffeeshops are a social get together place no different than a pub or bar. Well, there is a difference. The potheads don't get behind the wheel and kill innocent people. Potheads do not overdose. In a free society such as The Netherlands, law enforcement is free to concentrate their efforts against real crime. If marijuana was to be legalized today, and taxed, (i'm not a big fan of taxes)our current economy could be saved and our world debt eliminated in a short period of time.Sound radical? It's about change, like our new President is about change. The best thing that could happen for our country right now would be across the board legalization of cannabis. It would rescue our economy.report abuse

I second that! Thank you Mr. Christen for all you have done and all you continue to do!!
I hope the effect of this ruling ripples through every MMJ state and finally convinces state law enforcement that their job is to uphold state laws and that it's none of their concern whether federal law agrees or disagrees with the state laws they've sworn to uphold.report abuse
