- wheresmclean, on 03/19/2009, -3/+60Maybe I'm just being too hopeful here, but his carefully chosen wording in the phrase "The policy is to go after those people who violate both federal and state law," makes me believe that he's looking for a way to say they WON'T be coming after dispensaries in California without outright saying he condones medical marijuana use (as it doesn't break state law here).
Yay? Time will tell. - inactive, on 03/19/2009, -5/+56♪ Legalize It...
Dooon't Critize it ♫
♪ Legalize It, Ye-ah...ye-ah...♪
And I Will Advertise it... ♫ - mparker21311, on 03/19/2009, -3/+48I wish digg users were in my backyard, I'd love to rally with you guys instead of doing nothing but posting snarky legalization comments on the internet.
We need a revolution. - GundamSLR, on 03/19/2009, -7/+50Jeez, Digg i wish you guys could talk to my parents they believe Marijuana is the devil and it was planted here by the anti-Christ......Even tho they know i have smoked it and still maintain all A's in my classes....*sigh*....
oh Almost forgot!
Legalize It!! - slabdigger, on 03/19/2009, -3/+35You guys don't know. It's chaos here in Massachusetts since the de-criminalized pot (less than an ounce is a ticket, not an arrest) - murder, theft & depravity are running rampant, people are locked in their homes, rifles loaded, hiding behind their overturned furniture, drinking Jamesons from the bottle. The same thing happened when they legalized same-sex marriage. Clearly, pot is a serious menace to society.
- ejpusa, on 03/19/2009, -3/+32THIS IS SO CRAZY. Just legalize and move on. GIVE UP. The hippies won. I mean at this point WHO cares! NYC +350,000 MJ arrests so far. INSANE waste of resources.
- deetank, on 03/19/2009, -0/+25If your parents are remotely rational people, just sit down and explain the truth to them. There's tons of respectable books and studies out there that aren't in line with the governments view on weed.
Make a power point presentation. Something about facts coupled with pictures just makes people believe *****. - GSXER, on 03/19/2009, -3/+27MARCH 31, 2009! California will vote to legalize marijuana.
http://digg.com/politics/March_31_California_will_ ... - coastiefish, on 03/19/2009, -0/+16If you are doing nothing, Id like to encourage you to write letters to anyone and everyone in office in the time of a bill, vote or any issue at any given time. Your one voice represents a much larger number of population.
- satori3000, on 03/19/2009, -2/+17but who will they fill the prisons with?
- inactive, on 03/19/2009, -5/+19Grr, I hate the time we're wasting going towards the "medical" approach.
Regular uses do not benefit from this unless it's done like CA. MI passed a medical use bill and it backfired. You have to have a debilitating sickness to even attempt to go after it. Kinda pointless.
Just legalize it all. - Greengoo, on 03/19/2009, -4/+18Umm, Gundam. Take it from me, you DONT wish your parents were more like the people on Digg. Do you have any idea how much (more) you'd be screwed up if they were?
- EarlOfLade, on 03/19/2009, -0/+14And contrary to what you seem to believe, that ability is not given to you in form of some magic during the night you turn 18. It is developed by coaching and by being given more and more responsibility as you get older.
Kids and teens need to learn to fail and to rectify their mistakes under guidance, not under threats. - unknamed, on 03/19/2009, -2/+15Yeah, but if you hadn't been smoking pot this whole time you could have got A+'s in your classes!!!!
/s - IphtashuFitz, on 03/19/2009, -0/+11Sounds to me like you'd make a good politician.
- Dustin00, on 03/19/2009, -2/+13CHANGE that saves tax payers money!
- jayman7375, on 03/20/2009, -0/+9it would also become the most dugg article in the history of digg
- slippeh, on 03/19/2009, -1/+10The time we're wasting? Are you kidding me? I am a non-medicinal marijuana user and I was ecstatic to read this. It is MUCH more important that the medicinal users of marijuana have legal safety than non-medicinal users. Don't get me wrong, I am ALL for total legalization. But to think legalization will come overnight, with the blink of an eye, is hilarious. Not raiding the medicinal dispensaries that are legal under State law but illegal under Federal law is a HUGE step in the right direction.
Re-reading your post you could also be commenting on the degree of sickness required to qualify for medical MJ, in which case disregard the first paragraph. - Abatrour, on 03/19/2009, -0/+9The 10th Amendment states:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
The Federal Government has no power to prohibit drugs. Those laws have ALWAYS been up to the states themselves.
The huge change was started because of the large support from a majority of the states claiming sovereignty due to frequent violations of the constitution.
Here is a list of the states that currently support it.
http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2009/02/23/sta ...
You should contact your State Representative and State Senator and demand they support the 10th amendment.
Here is a video of Pennsylvania State Represenative Sam Rohrer talking about the sovereignty movement.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8bbrXnYJOo - MWeather, on 03/19/2009, -0/+8He already plainly stated that raids on medical marijuana dispensaries will stop. This is just clarifying that they'll still go after ones that violate state law.
- Rumdizzled, on 03/19/2009, -4/+12This sucks. All this talk of legalization is for medical MJ.
Just legalize it all already, and tax it. - inactive, on 03/19/2009, -1/+9let me grow my own
- floorman56, on 03/19/2009, -0/+8Then they tell you to move out of the basement
- ParaSwarm, on 03/19/2009, -0/+8Digg certainly helped, if even just a little bit.
If Digg contributed to just one person becoming knowledgeable and reversing a prohibitive stance on marijuana, then I consider it a success. - fenderbiz, on 03/19/2009, -1/+9The people who don't pick up the sarcasm should be brutally murdered, as they are only holding us back.
- mjk340, on 03/19/2009, -0/+8Despite the fact that marijuana is not inherently dangerous, the prohibition against it can lead to imprisonment and fines. You could lose access to federal college funding through the FAFSA application if you have a drug possession conviction. In addition, many professionals in a variety of fields from nursing to engineering require licensing. These professional licenses can be revoked on a drug conviction, leading professionally licensed parents with no choice but to keep it out of their house. Given these real consequences of marijuana use, it is not surprising that parents would not want their kids using it.
- unknamed, on 03/19/2009, -2/+10I think the intent is to conserve resources and not waste money cracking down on something that has been approved by a majority of a state's population.
Instead they want to focus on places that are using medical marijuana laws to sell weed outside of the intent of the state laws. While that's not exactly "legalizing it" it does take a step in the right direction. A BIG step.... - superfusion, on 03/19/2009, -2/+9He should outlaw chewing tobacco for like 6 months just to make a point about prohibition.
- ParaSwarm, on 03/19/2009, -0/+7lol @ kids who log out of their main account and log onto a troll account just for a little attention. You sure go through a lot of trouble for silly internet adventures.
- Omsil98, on 03/19/2009, -1/+8Lies! It is impossible to get A's if you smoke the reefer because it makes you stupid and let people draw on your face right before you ditch your friends at a party to go run over school children in a stolen car!
/S - coastiefish, on 03/19/2009, -1/+7Did you RTA?
- JCougar, on 03/19/2009, -3/+9I've never liked that song. For the fame that Tosh has in the reggae world, I've found him a little too childish and predictable with his lyrics and song writing.
- Bucket, on 03/19/2009, -1/+7I really want to hear a clear, concise argument from anti-legalization proponents why they believe what they believe. And I also want to know if their beliefs have been cemented from personal experience or media coverage. I do not like to dismiss things without first investigating whether there is truth beyond the haze of my ignorance.
- JaseFace, on 03/19/2009, -1/+7Dude. Shut the ***** up. Seriously.
- krynnotaur, on 03/19/2009, -3/+9Prohibition is illegal.
- thekronz, on 03/19/2009, -2/+7Digg needs a weed section.
- MarkOfTheDead, on 03/19/2009, -0/+5Does getting the ticket allow you to keep your stuff?
I mean, they can't take away that you were speeding prior when they give you a speeding ticket, so are you ticketed and allowed to keep your weed? - unclecaveman, on 03/20/2009, -0/+4For real! This is how legalization begins. The federal government will just let the states decide, then more and more states will legalize it for certain conditions and dispensaries can work without fear. Legalize it!
- Metavised, on 03/20/2009, -1/+5I have always enjoyed the fact that this issue has been dubbed a "War", and has been chiefly led by a "Czar". Theres something deliciously tyrannical about the terms we have used to describe our government's efforts.
- JaseFace, on 03/19/2009, -0/+4The last "Revolution" that really accomplished its goals was the Iranian Revolution, and even then the goal of it was perverted by the hard-line islamists who took power. 'Revolutions' don't work. Democratic (small-d democratic) reformism is the only logical way forward.
- ParaSwarm, on 03/19/2009, -0/+4"Right. Because everything happens at one time in life."
What? - onelikeseabass, on 03/19/2009, -0/+4Ah, the simple pleasure I derive from reporting ***** like you... it reminds me rolling up a fatty.
- Cuchanu, on 03/19/2009, -3/+7If weed is ever legalized diggers will try to take the credit.
- ParaSwarm, on 03/19/2009, -0/+4I was laughing after watching that commercial. Then I smoked a fat bowl.
- kevlar21, on 03/19/2009, -0/+4regardless, it's illegal and therefore not really a great choice. I've smoked it too, my parents have caught me too, i also have straight A's. I'm getting some pretty gnarly scholarships though, and if I were caught by the law, I'd lose thousands of dollars. It should totally be legalized, and it's not a bad thing, but if you're caught by the police you will be shafted, so your parents have a legitimate concern…
- DankBuddz, on 03/19/2009, -0/+3And that isn't just an empty statement, if you write a letter it literally counts for something like 500 citizens or something like that. Not sure what the exact conversion is, but if you call its like 1,000 or something.
- billraydrums, on 03/19/2009, -0/+3That would be epic.
- darkciti2, on 03/19/2009, -0/+3That's because for every letter or call a congressperson receives, they feel that thousands of others feel the same way, they just didn't take the time to call or write.
So, yes, even one letter can make a huge difference. - WhiteHatTrick, on 03/20/2009, -0/+3"HR 875, was introduced by Rosa DeLauro whose husband Stanley Greenburg works for Monsanto. It is more food regulation and allows the government to actually seize your property if you are maintaining a food garden. You will not be able to grow your own food at home."
You think that's scary, look at what else your government is up to right now:

http://digg.com/political_opinion/Grave_and_Immedi ... - onelikeseabass, on 03/19/2009, -0/+3The Union is way too "in your face" about marijuana for people such as your parents.
I suggest a more toned down approach such as the one utilized by a film called The American Drug War. -
