Most people also don't understand you can drive on cannibis. I am just trying to make ammends to both sides. Erase the money? Sir, do you know where we live? Even our environmental concerns are governed off of fat quakers pocketing change. Let alone our freedoms? Money probably should be there so that way there can be a compromise, and eventually as it's introduced into our society as normal. People will then be more prone to allow full legalization.
I understand what your saying though good points!
Your website is full of a nice collection of data, however. The government IGNORES facts if there is none of the $$$ other green stuff involved. Even if we'd like to believe it not to be true.

We're making progress, there are two important Federal bills in Congress right now. Can you tell me what they are? Have you contacted your federal reps. and asked them to support the bills?... Again this is not an attack, I'm trying to get folks thinking and taking action.
About your driving comments and mine...:
Honesty really is the best policy. Sometimes people don't like to hear the truth but the truth can be proven.
About "Erase the money? Sir, do you know where we live?":
Yes I know exactly. We live in a country where worthless weeds cost more than gold. We must work toward making pot plants like tomato plants, grow a few enjoy them yourself maybe give some to your friends... that's fine. If you want to sell on a business scale you have to have a permit be inspected and other such regulations just like tomatoes. My point is we must remove the inflated black market pricing caused by prohibition, that will end the crime. Al Capone didn’t kill people because he was drunk, he killed people that got between him and his money. Alcohol prohibition made that money available to him. Sorry for not making that clear before.
Re: " Your website is full of a nice collection of data, however. The government IGNORES facts..."
If you only get one point from everything I ever say please get this: Change your thinking about the government. We are the government, "We the people..." remember? Politicians will do everything they have to do to keep their job and they are elected by us. If you want your motion to carry all you have to do is represent the majority of the voters, so recruit everyone you possibly can into the drug policy reform movement. Get them to support it with actions and finance. Pester everyone you see about taking action until you get the job done. Pretend like you are the only soldier in a righteous war and you must recruit reinforcements. Explain the problems with prohibition and then present a solution that is good for all, costs far less money than the drug war and does no harm; (1 regulate instead of prohibit, 2 honest drug education for all and 3 medical treatment not jail if there are any drug related problems).
One thing I learned early about this movement was if you present the data correctly most prohibitionists can be swayed to our side and they are a lot more apt to take action than users (sad but true). Not because pot smokers are lazy, that's a complete farce. It's because non-users aren't afraid of getting busted, so they are WAY easier to get help from. I've even talked to churches and had good response, it's all in how you present the facts, just make sure you can prove what you say.
Can't we all just get abong?
