HI TERRI, WAY TO GO!!! IT'S NOT THAT AMERICANS ARE
ANTI-MARIJUANA, IT'S THE GOVERNMENT THAT DON'T WANT THE PEOPLE TO HAVE THEIR WAY WHEN IT COMES
TO THE REAL FREEDOM OF CHOICES THAT THEY SUPPOSEDLY HAVE!!! I'M NOT A SMOKER, BUT I'M NOT AGAINST THE PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE TO SMOKE IT. THE
GOVERNMENT SHOULD'NT BE OUR GUIDE IN DECIDING WHAT WE CHOOSE TO ENJOY OURSELVES WITH WHEN WE ARE PAYING OUR TAXES, GOING TO WAR AND MAKING
THEM RICH WITH OUR SWEAT!!! WE ARE NOT IN THIS LIFE
FOREVER!!! BUT LOOK AT THE ALCHOHOL PROBLEM,
THOSE TAX DOLLARS ARE HUGH, BUT THE GOVERNMENT
WILL NOT STOP THE SALE OF IT!!! YOU GET THE PICTURE?

Canadians in BC are pro pot.. not so in other areas.. at least not to the same extent. BC has legitimized it.
Most americans are aware that it is used only for the reason of raising the feeling of well being. For some reason, too many need a crutch to feel normal.. Rather than facing their own demons and getting their head on straight. Alcohol is used for the same purpose.

The majority of americans are for medical marijuana. I think the majority are also for decriminalization. I hope so, anyway. NORML told me, though, and they're as liable to inflate numbers as the DEA, probably.
The reason that the government isn't hearing us is because a lot of their campaign contributions come from industries like the pharmaceutical industry and the oil industry, and they have a vested interest in not having it readily available. I think.

Americans in general aren't but the Moral Majority is running the country, and they are against anything that is not boring and in strict adherance to thebible. Besides, they don't want pot, because they can't tax it.

I am an American and I don't see anything wrong with pot as long as your doing it in the privacy in your own home or a friends house.

American government and law enforcement are "anti-marijuana". But American people as a whole are not. Some are for it, some are against it...

Smoke/Distribute in public. Then in ten years you'll have answered your own question.

just depends who you ask. I just think the government is trying to find a way to tax it. because then it wouldn't be illegal.
