Ya know i did a whole focus panel on the legalization of pot. It was divided but they thought if it was legalized it be taxed heavyly also could it increase the number of drug dealers dealing narcotics? I mean it has its good and bad.
As for now best way not to get arrested dont do it in public or carry it with you when you go out. Smoke at home i mean ya wouldnt drive down the road drinking a beer. Thats just asking for trouble same with pot.

Create a petition. Write to the government. Organize rallies that support legalization of pot. I personally think it should be. All the kids that most of them are under 12 years old and do the dealing would be safer. What is wrong with smoking pot anyways? Is it so different than smoking cigarets? Or is it worse than being drunk to death? I don't think so. All of these things are bad for you. You should either make them all illegal or all of them legal. What about gambling where people lose their life, and even commit suicide? Is that as bad as smoking pot. The government has to open its blind, conservative eyes. There are a lot of people who smoke pot even though it is "illegal". I mean the war is over. The people win. You can't put you hands in everybodies pockets. Sorry I got carried away a bit. By the way, I don't smoke pot or anything like that, but it does not make sense to me why government would allow this to happen. These days, the bussiness of drug dealing is given to gangsters, and mafias, and we are left with everyday shotings, robbery, and abduction.

Amen, join a legalize it club like NORML or check out a high times in the back for others and donate to the legal fees. I also recomend you go out or buy online the book "The Emperer Wears NO Clothes" which a book dedicated to teaching people about the history of pot.

no ,here are some pot thoughts including political atitude
my general answer,
I do not think that it will ever be legal in the USA,if a
anything the politics are moving in the oposite direction and a fascist attitude against minority groups is growing
ATITUDES IN OTHER COUNTRIES
mild in Canada.used to be legal in Alaska.in Autralia you can have a few plants in the garden,In South Africa an ounce in your pocket is accepted .In Holland it is sold openly in koffie Bars and the police will direct tourist to safe places to buy.}in England a few years ago it was decrimenalised.
In Marroco it is the culture and all the old men smoke it in the caffees..as in many Arab countries
In Asia in some countries it is a very old part of their culture.
etc. etc.
MEDICINAL
in many countries marijuana is used in rubbung alcohol mostly by old people to relieve body pains especially the limbs.
it is also used for Asthma and nervous disorders
AMERICA
the USA the attitude is dogmatic for other reasons than the narcotic effects of the drug.
before 1920 marijuana was extensively grown by the USA and Mexico for the production of fibre.which made a durable material,cheap and it does not scorch,that was used for all the jeans,ropes,sails for the sailing ships and millions of jute bags that were used by millions of farmers,representing a multimillion dollars business.
after 1920 with the coming of synthetic materials,which were products of the petrolium business ,which were owned by the families or associates of most of the presidents,
this competitive comodity could not be allowed to continue to exist,
and the war on Mariujana was on.
the drug factor although it has been proven beyond doubt by countless tests that it was a relative harmless substance compared to sigarettes,alcohol and others,was blatently ignored and relentlessly the war continued to this day.
although it does worry the church, since people tended to stay up all night and question religious and philosohical beliefs.some times coming to uncomplementary conclusions of what was socially accepted.
alcohol puts people to sleep and they dont question the given standards.
MARIJUANA FIBRE
today Mariujana fibre is making a come back in Europe and Africa and produce designer pantalons and shirts for very high prices because the quality is superior than linnen.
these fibre plants do not produce drugs to speak of and are worthless for the drug market .it is the fibre that is the value.
and organically speaking it is an exelent plant to recuporate tired soils ,after cattle and corn field have practically destroyed the land,because the plant is deep rooted grows on most altitudes,and breaks open or loosens compacted soils as well as secreting nitrogen.
.the stalks can also be converted in to building material such as blocks
P.S the war against Marijuana ,has traditionally been used in Europe,Africa ,USA and Mexico,as an excuse for the Governments to invade peoples privacy,place soldiers and police strategically throughout the countries for control and observation,and to employ more security forces.
American Soldiers are in Mexico today suposedly for Marijuana but the real reasons are more sinister
It also creates the right climate for coruption and abuse of power(which was the norm rather than the exception in South Africa ,during the days of Aparheid ,when it was simple to place a bag of marijuana in some bodies house,who was unpopular with the authorities, in order to arrest or shoot them.)
Note:
i grew up in a drug culture and there was lots of weed around many of my friends still smoke and i am now 62.
for health reasons i dont smoke much any more .
in the early days these transitional drugs were necesary,for great changes in the general mentality,
today in many places,this mentality is here , and in reality the drugs have become obselete .
we wasted a lot of time messing around when we should have been thinking of our future,but at the time the cultural revolution was more important ,but not any more
we have reached what could be reached ,many druggies from the sixties are in leading positions today ,and a lot of changes are in place,(although some countries seem to be going backwards i think, but drugs are not the solution in this case)
my advice to anybody young now is leave the drugs ,alcohol,sigarettes alone ,dont be misled by peer pressure and concentrate on securing a good future.
when you are established and stable ,then is the time to play around with whatever you please ,at least in a democratic concept,
but dont do it when you are young because then you cannot afford to loose the time,and many people of today will look down on you as being a looser

All the "write to Congress" suggestions are great. But if you do, make sure you spell it right: LEGAL.
