The DEA is 100 percent misinformed when it calls marijuana "extremely harmful"! The marijuana prohibition empowers drug dealers and cartels, and makes our children less safe! Because of the failings of the prohibition, our children now have easier access to marijuana than to alcohol! We parents have been patient long enough. We must speak up and demand that marijuana be legally sold to adults in gas stations and supermarkets, just as beer and wine are today! We need laws based on logic, not ideology! We need to Legalize Adult Marijuana sales! Jillian Galloway/via Internet - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
