“This is not an idle threat. … What we’re trying to do is send a message as broadly as possible. … We are serious about enforcing federal law. … We are not just talking about it, but we are doing something about it. … Prosecuting marijuana cases is a higher priority now.”

Any one who believes in states rights should be concerned with this. I believe that state law should take precedent over federal law. It just makes good since. We have had one war over states rights and we may see another in our life time. The US government cannot mind its own business. They sow discord, inefficiency, and sorrow wherever they intervene. The people of the state of California should have the final say about issues in their own state. Not unelected autocrats in Washington D.C. I would love it if a handful of like minded states decided to say so long to being apart of this sick nation and continue the dream that the founding fathers had. A dream of individual freedom and liberty. As long as something is not robbing another citizen of life, liberty, or property, it should not be considered a crime. Sorry for the rant.

Perhaps the long documented, cozy relationship between the US government, the drug cartels and the private prisons has reached a point to where the cartel MJ profit (estimated at 60% of their net) is down enough that the agencies and corporations who benefit from the war on drugs are seeing it hit their bottom lines? The only drugs making it into the US are the drugs that we allow in. Way harder to backdoor profit a 'legal' grassroots industry.
Why not use marijuana to help you refocus on how you think about things? Like the fact that you are not sending the Feds money so they can murder innocent people. What you are doing is sending them money so you don't get penalized and maybe locked up for tax evasion. What they do with your money after you send it to them is on them, not on you. Likewise you can sleep fine at night if you choose as there is no blood on your hands because of what the government does. You did not declare any wars and the US didn't send troops anywhere on your orders. So unless you actually enlisted, were station in a warzone and followed orders when told to shoot people then the blood you percieve on your hands is all in your head as some elaborate justification for smoking weed which is insane. Why not, "I smoke weed because I enjoy it and I refuse to allow my government to tell me I can't when my doing so harms absolutely no one"?

It might be time for american people to stop electing shit heads like the last three.

Fuckem.
whats the option though? anyone who gets that far in politics is either corrupt or a clown... usually both
shit heads is what you get, just get different varieties
but if we want to get some clout from our culture, there is one simple formula
be able to deliver a large number of votes, and get it through to the shit heads you can deliver those votes to them, or their opponent
seniors do this, they get results with organizations like AARP
the numbers i see is that about 10% of the population admit to using mj regularly
a 10% voting block is not to be taken lightly
My opinion is that if the fed ever did respect marijuana as serious medicine, the way that many here are, you would never be able to grow your own or have dispensaries. Opiates are medicine but you cannot make and distribute them freely. People need to ne happy for what we have accomplished so far. If the fed calls it medicine it is game over. Our best bet would be them allowing it for personal recreation.
It's just as easy to grow opium poppies than it is to grow cannabis. People don't need to make their own synthetics like oxycontin when they can manage their chronic pain with opium or poppy tea. That doesn't make it legal, of course.
I could see a time where cannabis is still prohibited, but cannabinoid based medicine (synthetics or natural) are approved by the FDA and used widely. That might happen if people focus on legalizing only for medicial use.

I believe that could be a likely situation for sure.

This I like, how would you go about that though?
i think we are doing this
but as a national constituency, i think we are just getting started
California did it years ago with 215, there is precedent
this is the year that the most pro MMJ candidate has appeared, Ron Paul
and it's grow sites like these where our voice is beginning to form
the reason we get so little respect politically is there is no cost to the low life politicals to berate us
but if we can begin to affect the polls, and it is visible, we won't have to whine about about no respect
the dirt bags will come to us, they are very aware of voter statistics, they track it like hawks

its not over till its over
what constitution?
How about observing the constitution (i.e. constitutional rights). All the freedoms are already there, but it doesn't seem to stop the three branches from wiping there asses' with it.
