I can't drink due to a bad stomach, I even have pictures proving that. But because people remain ignorant I will just have to suffer at the hands of society looking to make a buck off my stomach problem and go to bed comfortably at night knowing that keeping it legal just causes more problems than it is worth. I fully support the Green Project and I hope one day people will open thier eyes to the injustice that is illegal cannabis, and I meant it. This isn't justice, it's more like extortion.

If the U.S. would invest just a little in starting to produce hemp in the countryside of Haiti, not only could Haiti have a chance to help itself financially, but as an investor the U.S. could collect on worldwide export of products, foods, and materials produced by the hemp plant. Haiti needs help, their cities are destroyed and its citizens are looking to return to the farmlands for work. We could give them a second chance. I think the U.S. government should invest in Haiti.

This year the cartels are on track to kill at least 9,000 more. Who supports keeping it illegal? The federal marijuana prohibition is like a US chemical factory sitting right on the border - it spreads its pollution all over Mexico, but while the stink continues to be blown south nobody in the US cares. 7,000 people were murdered by the Mexican drug cartels last year because we in the US kept marijuana illegal, many of the victims were children, police officers and politicians.
