I ran across an interesting comment about marijuana the other day. Someone remarked that if pot were currently unknown, and some scientist found it in the mountains of New Zealand and started researching it for possible medical use, it would be hailed as a miracle drug from Mother Nature, something that can help cancer and AIDS patients live better lives, and it helps fight glaucoma, too!

The problem is that the government has invested a LOT of money and time in making pot illegal, and the last thing they will ever do is admit to being wrong and wasting all that money.

I just read about a little known drug law that extends the death penalty to a person who has sold over 60,000 marijuana seeds. I don't have verification that this law really exists, but from what I read, some Canadian guy is undergoing an extradition trial so he can be tried in the U.S. for selling much more than the law requires for death. And supposedly they went after him specifically because he uses his earnings to support various legalization groups instead of buying bling. This shows that the DEA doesn't really care about drug dealers so much, they are far more interested in cutting off funding that might make their jobs pointless.
