Congressman says he'll file bill to leaglize marijuana nationally
Damn, hell yes!!


Rep. Barney Frank says he plans to file a bill to legalize "small amounts" of marijuana nationally as soon as Congress reconvenes.

Quote:
"I'm going to file a bill as soon as we go back to remove all federal penalties for the possession or use of small amounts of marijuana," Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat, told Maher.

Fast forward to about the 6 minute mark.

It's amazingly refreshing for me to see this being broadcast on TV. Let's hope more congresspeople start thinking for themselves like this man has.

I doubt it would pass, but I hope that at least such a bill causes more senators to look at the issue. It is a step in the right direction though and I hope movements like this continue. What happens in the USA affects the world as well. I'm sure that if the US legalized small amounts, then other countries would soon follow. It's good news all around. Go progress!

We are starting to see more and more positive signs.

I'm starting to get more than alittle excited with the news lately. We may be closer then you think. All the polls are in favor and congressman and women listen to polls. I'll keep my fingers crossed.


Maybe now is the time for a huge march on all our capitals or something?
