Thanks, FoM! This will be so cool! Just let me know how much they are. I will be buying LWW soon. I'm starting to feel good about feeling like a Hippie, again!

Wage peace on war. END CANNABIS PROHIBITION NOW!

as the wall come's tumbling down,

MPP has over 25 staff now, it's hard to imagine what they're all doing. I don't see a quantum leap in productivity compared to 5 years ago. Meanwhile, ASA seems to crank out an enormous amount of work that's increasing dramatically every year. Not to demean the excellent work of MPP; it's just that their goals and short-term strategy is a little more difficult to discern than a group like ASA.

Toke.

Essentially, they are Demonizing, or BANNING, the natural Gifts From God. Why? So they can continue their control, and increase their control, over humanity. When they can COMPLETELY control what we put in our bodies, then they can COMPLETELY control us with their Mind Control Substances. Then we would be mindless little slaves. THAT is what they WANT. COMPLETE DOMINATION OF THE CREATIONS OF GOD.

The source of Drugs is not Dealers. The source of Drugs is God. Man can creat nothing but from what God has already created. God has already instructed us in how to use his creations. Moderately, Reasonably. Nothing Prohibited, or Controlled by Lucifer inspired Men.

Peace and worry not. CANNABIS PROHIBITION IS ENDING. The fruitless desire for Man to Govern without God, is ending. God, come.

Bar tenders, store owners and cigarette sellers aren't demonized. If they want to start their proposal by vilifying dealers they are playing into the ignorance of the drug warriors. So that means that until prohibition ends they have a target for ignorance they can all agree on. Suppliers of the amazingly popular marijuana. This doesn't seem antiprohibitionist to me.

Incredibly the NORML chapter carried on a campaign of villification of dealers. Huh? Thus Hemptopia crystalized.

LEAP's a great idea, but how does thier starting premise resolve anything. The Mexican Decrim is a great start, but their goal is to eliminate dealers.

I mean that their (the drug warriors) spirits and souls, their consciences, need to be "restored".

Not restored to more drug war zeal and cruelty...but "restored", as in, made "whole" and "well" again. Like David said to his God. "Restore unto me, my soul!"

What?

Without legalizing sources, they haven't done a lot of good.

"There are serious questions we have to carefully analyze so that through our spirit of fighting drug dealing, we don't end up legalizing," he said. "We have to get rid of the concept of the (drug) consumer."}

But I still think this is great news for tourists and foreign nationals. Some of the element of fear, of danger when travelling, may be canceled out by this measure. The idea of ending up in some prison gulag in Northern Mexico might disappear for many, and that joint you smoke may seem less dangerous too.

MEXICO CITY — The United States reacted cautiously on Saturday to a Mexican measure that would make it legal to carry small amounts of cocaine, heroin and other drugs for personal use.

News of the decriminalization did not make the front pages of any major Mexico City newspaper, nor was it discussed in editorials. It was slightly better publicized in the north of the country, where turf wars between rival drugs gangs have caused hundreds of killings along the Mexico-U.S. border, but was still overshadowed by news about immigration.

President Vicente Fox has yet to sign the bill, which would eliminate penalties for those caught with small amounts of some drugs, but his office has applauded it.

Mexican lawmakers have said the bill will let authorities focus on major drug traffickers and not clutter prisons with small-time offenders.

U.S. Embassy spokeswoman Judith Bryan said Saturday the measure could actually make it easier to prosecute drug crimes because it attempts to "precisely specify the amount of narcotics in possession of a suspect to allow a criminal prosecution."

"Preliminary information from Mexican legislative sources indicates that the intent of the draft legislation is to clarify the 'small amounts' of drugs for personal use as stated in current Mexican law," she said.

Mexican law already left open the possibility of dropping charges against people caught with drugs if they are considered addicts and if "the amount is the quantity necessary for personal use." The new bill drops the "addict" requirement _ automatically letting any "consumers" have drugs _ and sets out specific allowable quantities.

In Mexico City's stylish Zona Rosa neighborhood, Mexicans and tourists alike were surprised to hear it could soon be legal to carry small amounts of drugs.

Drug violence "will drop because there will be less pressure on the people who consume drugs," said Francisco Garrido, who was selling orange juice at a sidewalk stall.

But Berta Perez, an antique store owner, worried that drug sales would bring young budget travelers and spook away well-heeled tourists.

If signed by Fox, purchasing drugs "would be like buying a cigarette on the street," she said.

Washington has long praised the Fox administration for its anti-drug efforts.

Since the president took office in December 2000, several key drug lords have been captured, including Benjamin Arellano Felix, the suspected operations chief of a Tijuana-based drug gang bearing his family's name, and Osiel Cardenas, the accused head of the Gulf cartel, thought mainly to operate along Mexico's border with Texas.

Yet drug addiction is growing in Mexico, especially in border cities like Tijuana.

John Morgan, a retired school psychologist visiting Mexico City from Grand Junction, Colo., said it makes sense for the country to decriminalize marijuana _ but that harder drugs maybe should not be included.

"We have put people in jails for years for marijuana, something that is probably less harmful than alcohol," he said. "But the list here is a little too global, there are several classes of drugs which are quite harmful."

I always like visiting Mexico, and I like being there Neighboor. It is really weird sitting in what was once Mexico.

NBC has nothing on its site. CBS, who lost me in 1999 when they didn't cover Maine's Medical Marijuana decision, has no mention. CNN is in the dark.

Fox simply lists decrimed drug amounts.

ABC above all tells the entire story. ABC has a new viewer.

Doesn't this only happen in fascist countrys?

And by the way, in a free country one should be able to sing praises of the land in any language one wants.

Police are to take no action over the discovery, made during a routine security sweep of the property. The amount was described as "minuscule", weighing less than one gram with a street value of 85p.

Without funding these organizations, we have no voice. Sitting around and doing nothing will not make marijuana anymore legal. The only way we can effectively change the law is if we are proactively doing something about it. An easy way to help change the law is to fund the organizations that are vocal in the media, lobby our government officials, and run ballot intiatives all the while educating the public about the need to legalize this substance.

Actually, Washington counts on tons of illicit drugs coming up from Mexico. To the drug warriors it justifies billions of dollars to fund the police state.

I believe some of the neo-con drug warriors saw their little racket coming to an end and that's why they needed the "war on terror" which was born on 9/11.
