Isn't it kind of ironic that Ron Paul and NAACP both see U.S. drug laws as a civil rights issue?

We Answered:

Actually, there's an internal struggle at the NAACP - some are on board with legalization, while others are vehemently opposed.

However, I agree with you - I don’t smoke, but I definitely think it should be legal, provided that it is regulated like alcohol (no minors, and no driving).

It makes absolutely no sense that cannabis is illegal while alcohol and tobacco (both of which are MORE harmful and MORE addictive) are legal.

Legalization would:

- Create thousands of (legal, income-tax paying) jobs
- Devastate drug cartels, which would suddenly be without 75% of their income
- Provide an enormous windfall for the government, which would bring in billions in taxes and SAVE billions more on law enforcement (ending Prohibition played a big part in getting the U.S. out of the Great Depression)
- Allow police, courts and prisons to focus their resources on DANGEROUS criminals, rather than harmless potheads

I know I’m preaching to the choir here, so now it’s time to do something – donate (if you can) at the link below, then contact your representatives in government! If you don’t know who they are, find out at http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml… Tell them that you are a VOTER, and that this issue is important to you.

If they hear from enough of us, they'll HAVE to start taking this issue seriously. As Gandhi once said, “first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

When someone is killed in a car accident by someone who is high, can the family sue California?

We Answered:

california is already bankrupt, so there's no money left for you to sue. The welfare and illegals have taken it all the past 40 years.

Why isn't the whole definition of marriage important?

We Answered:

First I heard there was ban on divorce....what the hell!

This marriage thing is becoming tiresome and just allow people to marry who ever they want and be done with it

People so against the BIG BAD GOV..are the very ones against prop 8 , Roe vs Wade..same people want small gov, no gov...yet scream that someone is doing something with their body they do not want...what business is it of any who people sleep with at night? Hate the gov but need them to change laws because they do not like it...again what gives them the right to tell anyone what to do with their own body...does it hurt you..no...then flock off like the birds do

Under the very constitution so many right wings recite day in and day out it clearly states..

At same time marriage is marriage between a man and woman...would be nice if gay people would just use the word CIVIL marriage...all would be happy and the flocking end of it!

One side be quiet...non of their business, the other bend a little and accept the word civil marriage with all the in and outs of regular marriage tax breaks, divorce etc..then we will not have to hear about it anymore

Common sense!!!!

Is the reason California Proposition 19 failed is because Pot smokers forgot yesterday was election day?
