END POT PROHIBITION

As a person living in the land of the free and the home of the brave,
I wonder why so many people are afraid of legalizing pot. It's not the
demon weed that our government told us it was.

It has many uses beyond pleasure. Put American farmers back to work.
Put American citizens back to work in Amsterdam-style 'coffee shops.'
If we can encourage people to 'drive' downtown to beer and wine
festivals, then surely there's room for a natural plant festival. How
can a plant be a crime?
