Hi Folks: Pardon the oversized font, but I just had to post this as I think this is urgent for anyone who wishes to get canibis legalized. The federal government has introduced House Resolution 499 If it passes, that means that Marijuana will no longer be a Schedule 1 substance, and the states would have more freedom to legalize it. It would effectively end marijuana prohibition all together. I URGE you all, to contact your congressman and push for the passage of House Resolution 449 today. We certainly have nothing to lose, but A LOT to gain. It has allways been one of our fondest wishes to be able to enjoy weed without the fear of arrest, prison or stiff fines. Call your congressman today! Just for the record, I am not a political activist, and don't usualy take part in discussions of religion or politics, much less start an entire thread on it, but this would be a MAJOR win for us.

*Watches as this thread is pushed onto the back burner.* *Notices that congress will do the same* Coincidence?
Why is no one here talking about this? Considering this IS a marijuana site, you'd think you guys would be doing back flips and shit.
Wasn't aware that putting a voice to the obvious was an attitude, how about talking about what I said or is ad hominem the pinnacle of your retorting ability?
In all honesty, I don't expect this to pass. But I do see it as progress. Thy always say it'll take baby steps to legalize. Well this bill has 11 co-sponsors. That's 11 more than it would have had 10yrs ago. Times are changing, slowly, but surely.
What are you talking about, he isn't arguin with you he was simply putting a voice to the obvious fact that for things to change people's way of thinking needs to change.
Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2013 (H.R. 499) - GovTrack.us Prognosis 3% chance of getting past committee. 0% chance of being enacted.
Swing and a miss... Did you just switch handles or something? Bring substance to the table. Reading is a good first step, thus you will actually know what you are talking about. Now please desist on derailing this thread.
Here is the odd part, on the schedule 1 list is "THC also known as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), is the principal psychoactive constituent (or cannabinoid) of the cannabis plant. also referred too as cannabis." However this bill refers to marijuana. Even if it passes it will hold no water as it would not be binding as written. The term marijuana is even misspelled throughout the bill. "(a) Modification of Definition of ‘Felony Drug Offense’- Section 102(44) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802(44)) is amended by striking ‘marihuana,’." The Feds use every loophole to ignore what they want to.
I don't think cannabis is illegal, I am sad that anyone would believe such tripe. Any law that is unconstitutional is not law
Yup, but the people allowed it to happen and allowed them to continue. If we continue the finger pointing game instead of doing what needs to be done things will never change. When you sit there while the police abuse the power we give them to uphold justice beating, tasing, robbing and raping our liberty away. ”Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither.” Ben Franklin
Yes! If enough people get this through their heads they won't need to pass another law! They only have the power we give them!
This is just some mental masturbation, the only way to get what you want is to do something about it, talking this shit about legalizing weed while Marc Emery is still in prison, along with how many other "criminals". Good thoughts aren't going to fix things only good deeds.
