The DUI charge on Marijuana Is outrageous in my opinion. If anything I drive better when "intoxicated on weed" then I do driving normally.REPORT COMMENTS

I am tired of seeing our tax dollars going to fight a losing battle. Regulate marijuana, tax it, and reap the profits for the American people. The U.S. is spending more incarcerating citizens, fighting drug cartels, eradicating grows, etc., when we could be helping the economy by "eradicating" these outdated laws on the issue. An article just after the repeal of prohibition states : "y the early 1930s most Americans could see that there was no logic left in Prohibition. Wet pressure finally reached their goals: the 18th Amendment was finally repealed on 5 December 1933. The legalization provided sudden employment for over one million people in brewing, distilling and related jobs. Federal, state and local tax and license receipts exceeded a billion dollars yearly by 1940. There was no noticeable increase in drunkenness and alcohol related problems. Most people regarded the dry experiment as a ridiculous and costly mistake of the US government." I feel the same could be accomplished now. Wake up legislators! Recent polls show that the American population is in favor of legalization. "WE THE PEOPLE"? Doesn't seem to be the way it works these days. I rest my case.REPORT COMMENTS

I sat and made a mental list of the pros and the cons of legalization. The cons list was very short. And included such items as. Prison complexes loose occupants, Law enforcement looses revenue from seized (free) property, police force losses revenue from fines and fees from possession arrests. While the pros were far far to numerous to list. This is a no brainer. DECRIMINALIZE possession at the very least.REPORT COMMENTS

My name is Leonard J. Boodry. I'm 62 years old. I have served this Country on active duty in the US Army honorably from 1973-77. I have never been afforded the opportunity to vote as to whether I believe that marijuana should be classified as controlled substance ("Illegal") or not("Legal"), or whether the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 should be repealed or not. An entire lifetime spent under the legal consequences of this nation for the possession of, sale of, or manufacture of (growing) a weed (marijuana) that grows indigenously in the soil of this land. I believe this is an outrage in a country purporting to be a democracy. I also have a question to pose to the government (not particularly the Presidency (Mr. Obama) or Congress) but to those behind the scenes who will not identify themselves to ?We the people?, "If a soldier stationed at Ft. Carson, Colorado smokes marijuana as a recreational activity (off-duty) and fails a random drug test, will they be forced to face a court-martial and if found guilty be dishonorably discharged from their service to this country (since their service station of duty assignment is located in Colorado where marijuana has recently been legalized) ? This "House of cards" supporting the current status quo must fall! Hurrah!!! for the States of Colorado and Washington, for their courage under fire, and eternal woe and contempt be upon the nation that continues to condemn the work of the LORD's Hand and persecute HIS Children. I pray that the LORD can forgive you; I'm finding that very difficult to do in my spirit. Repent of this ?Great Evil? and return to the LORD and be saved. I pray for all those of you who support this prohibition of the work of the LORD's Hand, that you repent and see the LORD?s salvation. May all those of you who do not repent of this "Great Evil" ,which this nation has committed and burdened upon it's people for over (77) years, never see the LORD's Face in peace but rather be judged in the furious wrath of the LORD forever.
