Day 30

We have wasted enough time and effort on marijuana.  Making laws against a plant that grows wild is the same as banning the stink in the air when you drive past a cattle ranch.  The lives that have been ruined over these stupid laws is incredible.  We have to pay for judges, clerks, prison space and guards, food for the prisoners and probation officers.  Then there is the unseen damage of families that have the main bread winner jailed and it forces the family into public assistance/food stamps.  Not to mention lawyers on both sides.  Then you go to the enforcement side and the DEA and the drug wars at the border that is being fought with the lives of both drug runners and patrol men.  Then the chain of command that leads all the way up to the ATF/DEA/FBI/INS and local Police.  We must rejoice in a voice of sanity that says enough.  I am so glad to see that most of the GOP does not want to get their dog in this fight.  Thanks Mr. Eric Holder for being included in the voice of  reason.
