Please write to your representatives and senators to express your thoughts on legalization. Reefer madness needs a wake up call.
I received this limp reply from our US Senator.
Dear ****:
Thank you for contacting me with your suggestions regarding the United States’ national drug control strategy. I recognize the time and effort that you are dedicating to actively participate in the democratic process, and I appreciate that you and other concerned citizens have provided me the benefit of your comments on this matter.
Illegal drug abuse is a threat to the fabric of our nation, causing more than 30,000 deaths and billions of dollars in economic losses each year. Efforts to stem the flow of illicit drugs and educate our citizens about the dangers of these substances should be a priority for policymakers nationwide.
Our national drug control strategy must also focus on reducing the growing problem of counterfeit, misbranded, and adulterated substances in the medical and commercial supply chains. Many illegitimate outlets are marketing contaminated or knock-off prescription drugs, while others attempt to dodge existing laws by selling synthetic versions of illegal narcotics, such as heroin and cocaine. Unfortunately, these substances can have tragic effects—often causing serious injury or death. Members of the Senate must continue working to ensure existing laws and agencies provide the oversight necessary to protect children and consumers from the purveyors of these dangerous drugs.
Furthermore, as you know, several states have legalized marijuana for medicinal and recreational purposes. I support the Supreme Court’s 2001 decision ruling the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes is not a defense under federal law. However, we should always have an open dialogue on social issues, even if we may disagree.
I am always appreciative when Texans take the time to reach out and share their concerns. Thank you for taking the time to contact me.
Sincerely,
JOHN CORNYN
United States Senator
You will never change the mind of that dinosaur! Best thing Texans could do is to vote him out of office. We have one in my state that sounds about as ridiculous. :cool:

Yeah the sad part of legalization in these states is it makes it even does easier for the feds to do raids and busts. All they have to do is threaten the counties,etc federal funds will be cut and they get cooperation on where to find the big grows and money. It's all pretty screwed up if you think about it,one of the main reasons marijuana was and has remained criminal is because of how easy it is to smell and detect and allows for easy cases and prosecution,not to mention drug testing for.employment,etc.Decriminalization is the best thing they could do for us, but, it would hurt the money stream from Washington that supports state and local law enforcement in states like mine. My county is one of the poorest in the state. They love draining money from mj people. I been harping for decriminalization for years.
Yeah, its supporting a whole system of people and prisons that would have to be revamped in some states. It's profitable to keep it illegal..... for a lot of people.Yeah the sad part of legalization in these states is it makes it even does easier for the feds to do raids and busts.

Yeah but now it seems to be even more profitable to have it legal at the state level in some areas while still remaining illegal federally.Yeah, its supporting a whole system of people and prisons that would have to be revamped in some states.

Yes, I was speaking about states like mine. And Texas, and most of the SE. LOL I don't really consider FL a southern state but believe they will get it first. What has been proposed in my state for medical is a joke, and even that ..... can't even get to the Senate floor. Pitiful. Laws have not been loosened whatsoever here. They can put you in jail for a quarter of a gram man if they want. There is no misdemeanor charges for it here. I am not sure what AR passed on medical but likely not grow plants. I do live very close to 3 other states. But, all southern. Oh well, don't matter, nothing I can do but what I am. I'm excited about the new strains I just germinated.Yeah but now it seems to be even more profitable to have it legal at the state level in some areas while still remaining illegal federally.
i just want to grow a legal tree for once,hell with all that paper work,dispensary can deal with all that mess ,from what i here they charge enough for a oz to pay for there liscense hahahh,back when ,not going there but growing in your back yard wasnt a deal,cops didnt mess with you if you werent doing anything,nixon changed that,but before i die i would like to grow another tree as i did back then,shit have enough smoke for a year or two depending on summer hahahhI agree,Texas and the state I reside in will be some of the very last to legalize if they even do,I personally would just like to see some kind of decriminalization and maybe even something allowing personal cultivation.
this i completly agree withYeah, its supporting a whole system of people and prisons that would have to be revamped in some states. It's profitable to keep it illegal..... for a lot of people.
I hear ya man,one or two good size bushes would set me up good for a year and I could just do some breeding and testing inside.i just want to grow a legal tree for once,hell with all that paper work,dispensary can deal with all that mess ,from what i here they charge enough for a oz to pay for there liscense hahahh,back when ,not going there but growing in your back yard wasnt a deal,cops didnt mess with you if you werent doing anything,nixon changed that,but before i die i would like to grow another tree as i did back then,shit have enough smoke for a year or two depending on summer hahahh
