7. End the tyranny and the madness!

Washington Post had a similiar story.

620,000 people for simple possession. And that number is under reported.

1700 people a day are having their rights violated their freedoms and livelihoods threatened. Just for possessing a plant. Land of the brave home of the free but dont get caught with a plant in your pocket or the Government will ruin your life.

This is tyranny. Shameful abuse and exploitation of the citizens of this country by an overreaching corrupt tyrannical government.

20% of this country probably uses Cannabis on occasion. Over 50% of adults have tried it.

Its time to wake up and stop threatening our people's lives for peacefully possessing and growing a plant. It is time to end prohibition. There is no justification that can be made to continue this tyranny against a peaceful minority of people who enjoy a natural herb on occasion.
