Holy crap.  An administration with some common sense?  
That's change I can believe in.
One small step for mankind. ;) :)

Now that is a damn good thing. Maybe this will open the door for researchers to do comprehensive studies concerning pot use to disprove all the bullshit about harmful effects. Maybe they will eventually make pot legal, as it should be.

This may sound silly, but it's really true. I must say, however, I have enjoyed a smoke from time to time in the past. ;D

I am a high stress person....to the degree that it causes me stomach problems at times. Nausea. Pot really does relieve stress and really eliminates nausea, at least for me, temporarily. It gets me over it. things like going to court over child support knowing your gonna get fucked causes me worry and stress, nausea. times like these.

I can just imagine how much relief a cancer patient, for example, must get from pot use.

Make it legal period. Hell, it would help pay down some of out huge debt and free up jail cells by huge numbers. (which would also save about 35 grand a person per year by the way)
its about fucking time.. now if NC would legalize weed for medicinal purposes, Id be able to smoke legally!

City of Oakland is estimating they will get a half million a year in tax revenues from medical marijuana.  No small change.  
Think how much the city of Oakland would profit if it let out all the pot smokers and sellers out of the pokey.  ;D
Depends.  Some of those people are very bad men... I have no problem throwing the cartel dudes in the slammer.  

Legalization across the board would go a long way towards eliminating the problems with the cartels in Mexico and the southwestern US.
