cannabisnews.com: End Criminal Prohibition of Marijuana End Criminal Prohibition of Marijuana Posted by FoM on October 30, 1999 at 12:15:36 PT Please Sign the Petition! Source: E-The People We the people of Woodstock, citizens of the United States, in order to create a more perfect Union, demand an end to the criminal prohibition of marijuana. The millions of Americans who smoke marijuana are no different than their non-smoking peers. They are responsible citizens who work hard, raise families, and contribute to their communities. Arresting marijuana smokers distracts law enforcement from addressing more violent and serious crimes, invites the government into areas of our private lives that are inappropriate, and needlessly destroys the lives, careers, and families of generally good citizens. Marijuana smokers are not part of the crime problem and should not be treated as criminals. NORML supports the removal of all penalties for the private possession and cultivation of marijuana by adults for responsible personal use; the medical use of marijuana by prescription to seriously ill patients; and legal hemp cultivation by farmers. The undersigned hereby petition our state and federal governments to stop arresting otherwise law abiding citizens who smoke marijuana.

Not sure though but that could be right! By the way, Hello! and thanks for the vote of support on the post the other day. We don't censor comments. I have ignored a couple on purpose but they weren't removed. I lost some email in C News the other day. It could be a Y2K glitch already. If there is more trouble please let me know so I can get in touch with Ron.Have a Nice Weekend.Peace, FoM!
