A letter to my congressional representative on medical marijuana

[Idaho]

Humans have been using cannabis and alcohol for thousands of years. We definately know the dangerous effects of alcohol, but the effects of weed have never been so clear - primarily because it is illegal and a political/moral football.

Moving marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III would allow doctors to do medical research on it's effects and benefits. Schedule I drugs are essentially out of the loop in this regard. DA's proposition would allow more study into the effects of short and long term use. At this point, all we know is based on this study.

[Major Robert Dump]

The best way to get marijuana decriminalized would be to un-privatize the prison industry and deregulate the market for weapons/equipment contracts with police departments. There's far too much money to be made by the people who provide these services, and there's far too much money to be gained by government workers who receive the lobby cash and the stock dividends and lucrative consulting jobs after they cease to be government employees.

Tax marijuana you say? PFFFFFT! That would help the entire country. Daddy needs a new Jaguar. And some more vodka to drink out of someone's buttcrack.

[Idaho]

I think they should make it fully legal and tax it.

That won't stop people growing it for free in their back gardens.
