72% of Americans Support Nullification

Of federal marijuana laws. A recent poll finds that 72% of Americans do not think the federal government should arrest marijuana users in Colorado and Washington. Interestingly, 68% feel the same way about marijuana growers; 64% would even leave sellers of marijuana alone.

Unlearn the Propaganda!

    So 8% of Americans, according to this poll, think one should be able to use weed, but not grow or sell it. How do they expect the people that use pot to obtain it, then? I think the REAL impact of this poll is that it demonstrates that 8% of Americans can’t hold a coherent thought for more than a split-second – certainly not between multiple poll questions.

    Tom you should check out some documentaries about the medicinal capability of cannabis. The thing that most people don’t know is that smoking it isn’t the most medicinal way to use it and that when the active ingredients are extracted into an oil form it has amazing healing power that trumps those of smoking it. That can actually cure diseases rather than just relieve suffering and treat symptoms. There are two must see videos about this on youtube, one is called Cured: A Cannabis Story in which a man documents his usage of the oil externally(!) to cure his skin cancer. Another called Run From The Cure about people who’ve done regiments of ingesting the oil multiple times a day everyday for several months and have cured their various diseases including cancer by doing so.
