Drug War Issues

Help This Pass!

Go to this site and email your representatives to tell them to pass this law!

Now, you may wonder why I, a believer in ending the drug war, should support this bill.

It's simple:

  • if states pass medical marijuana laws, they get the benefit of using marijuana for those worthy causes;
  • if they do this and then lose federal money to fight the drug war, the drug war effort will be hurt;
  • if it is hurt enough, it may have to end;
  • ending the drug war will reduce crime, reduce government spending, increase general happiness, and bring about many other worthwhile goals as well.
You can find tons of good information in Marijuana Myths Marijuana Facts: A Review Of The Scientific Evidence.

So, tell the Congress to vote FOR this legislation!
