Rob Roy is right. I would also like to add that the Green Party is like a watermelon, they may be green on the outside but they are liberal red on the inside.

Interesting thought
I agree with this to an extent
The problem is that people in power right now have no interest in changing their views on an issue as stigmatized as marijuana
It would seem logical then, that voting people in who share your views is probably the most time efficient course of action

We tried before.. twice. Both times the US threatens...
If you've ever watched "The Union", our former mayor here in Vancouver Larry Campbell, whose also an ex RCMP drug squad member and Vancouver's former head coroner, was talking about how [former] US drug czar John Walters, was threatening to shut down the border if we legalized. Campbell scoffed, and basically told him, that if they shut down our border, then California's going to be dry and in the dark. We won't ship oil, water, or electricity.
It would never come to that, but funny just the same to hear it from his mouth.
But regardless if they shut the border or not.. they'd label us as a Drug Nation in the UN. That means trade sanctions. Shit.. even Holland's not immune to the US.. they're the ones who are pressuring Holland to make it so only local residents can go to the coffee shops. They don't like the idea of their citizens going on a "toker's holiday".

The problem in both countries is that politicians in power or opposition have just been around too long.....
What we need is a 1 yr term limit for everything at all 3 levels of government.....Senators, congressman, Prime Minister, President, Mayors, Council Members.Maybe then we could get rid of the current batch of miscreants who are so ingrained with corruption it isn't even seen by them as corruption anymore, Just normal course of business and or "the way things are" . Government is not for the people it is for the Government....PERIOD. That is why it continues to grow at an alarming rate. Needing more and more power to keep the big government machine rolling forward.....More government aids, guards, secretaries, military, Ect.. Ect... Oh and while we are at it lets start punishing these corrupt individuals, Parties, Corporations. Instead of the current system of ignore, sweep, deny that we are stuck with now........When you start to think about how many people are actually associated with the government and whose livelihoods directly rely on it continuing to grow and become more powerful....That is when I get scared and just kinda give up on the whole mess I mean its obvious that a whole boatload of people just want it to stay the same, oh and guess what!!!!! those people are in charge and are the ones who actually can change things rather quikly......As a citizen of earth I feel it is my responsibility and duty to "Stick it to Da Man" whenever and wherever I can....Fuck you corrupt government whore infested with all the disgusting stuff on earth you will get as little out of me as I can possibly get away with.....WoW I'm pretty angry this morning...ima gone to smoke a bowl
