Hey everyone. Just thought I'd spread the news that congressman Barney Frank (D-Mass) has been on our side ever since this "war on drugs" has been failing. Tomorrow, wednesday, Barney Frank will be holding a press conference to discuss his new bill which, if enacted, would decriminalize up to 100 grams of marijuana! Music to my ears!
