Reply #33: No. Basing your prejudice against the legalization...

...of cannabis on this Amtrak incident IS disingenuous.

Cannabis legalization is not a frivolous, side-show issue, as you seem to want to frame it.

The connection of the cannabis legalization movement to the OWS movement is obvious - BigPharma, for one, wants to stomp out cannabis. Which is directly related to the insurance industry, which is directly a part of the financial services industry, which is "Wall Street."

Downplaying the horrific effects that prosecuting millions of people for cannabis possession/use has, on not just those prosecuted, imprisoned, and/or having their assets seized (often WITHOUT a conviction), but on Society as a whole, is a slap in the face to basic justice and civil rights -- not to mention, human rights.

Sorry, not buying your DLC-like approach to the issue.

BTW, I will choose to support whatever issues and political movements however I see fit, so, thanks, but no thanks for your advice to those of us who see this issue differently than you.

You can now stop wasting your time on cannabis issues, and go ahead with your efforts to continue electing ineffective, out of touch corporately-controlled Democrats who accomplish next to nothing but becoming millionaires as a by-product of their time as "public servants."
