Members of Congress Implore Feds To Back Down On Marijuana Prosecution

[dotymed]

33. BRAVO to the small percentage of Congressman who have the foresight and initiative to ask for some

intelligent thinking regarding marijuana. This should have been a heavy majority letter. We are heading in the right direction.
I hear and believe that many dollars of campaign "contributions" are from illegal drug profits whose donors want to ensure the continued illegal status of marijuana.
From organized crime to for-profit prisons, and many in between, the profit realized from marijuana prohibition is huge. Citizens United must be legislated into obscurity for many reasons.
Many of our most wealthy and prestigious families made or vastly increased their wealth from alcohol prohibition. For and by the people. We must strive (under both parties) to make this a reality. It is a great idea but has never had the chance to operate as it was envisioned. We must make it happen. Stop the suffering of the non-elites and allow life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, for all.
This has the possibility of greatly increasing our governments revenue and creating many "green" jobs.
Why is hemp illegal? It"s uses and possibilities are unlimited. Strong fibers for fabrics, possible alternative energy source, it can replace carbon in many instances, construction.....limitless...
Common sense, stop protecting profits for the wealthy. Kill Citizens United.
