This is another unforeseen consequence of the federal marijuana prohibition. It doesn't appear that President Nixon thought about this when he started it.

Parents have to decide if they want drug dealers selling marijuana to kids or supermarkets selling marijuana to adults. Forty years of federal marijuana prohibition has taught us that "nobody selling marijuana to nobody" is NEVER going to happen!

That sure is a lot of weed to find after all the money we've spent trying to eradicate cannabis over the last few decades. It sounds like the federal marijuana prohibition doesn't work!

We need to control cannabis like beer and wine and allow our supermarkets to sell it to adults. That's the *only* way to eliminate illegal grows like this one.

On June 17, 1971, President Nixon told Congress that "if we cannot destroy the drug menace in America, then it will surely destroy us." After forty years of trying to destroy "the drug menace in America" we still *haven't* been able to destroy it and it still *hasn't* destroyed us. Four decades is long enough to realize that on this important issue, President Nixon was wrong! All actions taken as a result of his invalid and paranoid assumptions (e.g. the federal marijuana prohibition) should be ended immediately!

It makes no sense for taxpayers to fund the federal marijuana prohibition when it *doesn't* prevent people from using marijuana and it *does* make criminals incredibly wealthy and incite the Mexican drug cartels to murder thousands of people every year.

We need legal adult marijuana sales in supermarkets, gas stations and pharmacies for exactly the same reason that we need legal alcohol and tobacco sales - to keep unscrupulous black-market criminals out of our neighborhoods and away from our children. Marijuana must be made legal to sell to adults everywhere that alcohol and tobacco are sold.

"There's something extraordinarily perverse when we're so concerned about preventing addicts from having access to drugs that we destroy the lives of many times more people, either through untreated pain or other drug war damage".

There is something terribly WRONG when the police and the organized gangs want the same thing!!!

END the Federal Marijuana Prohibition and STOP funding the gangs!
