Reclassify ? how about release from Prohibition !

   Reclassify not the word i'm looking for in the debate over the sweet leaf. I don't think any person with a better than sixth grade education could believe this stuff is dangerous, or a gateway drug . If we must find that root to all evils lets look at those substances that we all abuse every day such as caffeine, and sugar both in my opinion just as harmful as hemp . Sugar can actually be the cause of diabetes and death, no deaths from Pot smoking reported yet that i'm aware of . So just what is it that has us so freaked out over a plant most of us have smoked and lived thru with no adverse side effects ?
  I think it still goes back to the freaked out white dudes that came up with films like reefer madness . It makes sense some of those guys had no idea what music was much less how to communicate with those who had it . All they could see is some black guy playing the devils music and smoking that funny smelling stuff . Yes the bed sheet crowd did not have much love for weed back in the day . Its a shame

most of those guys just needed a puff and they might have chilled out .
   Now we are at a time that our nation could use this plant not only to chill out, but to build our future . We even got support from Congress,The White House, And a few of the Governors on this too . Yesterday They asked Obama, and Holder to remove its classification as a schedule one narcotic . The idea of it even being classified as a controlled substance is bad enough but to list is with thing like  Heroin, Meth, and Cocaine how do you make this stuff up ? We need to fix this so this plant can fix us . This one time misunderstood plant could be the key to our future economy .
  Some states such as WA,Ca,Co. already have industrial hemp plans in the works . Other states like Ohio,MI, and In. are considering bills and constitutional amendments to join in . The boosts to the states economy for being at the front of this new technology will be incredible . All  you need to do is look at what is happening to the economies of states that have already legalized the plant to see the benefits  . Don't just look at the tax revenue look at the jobs that are popping up . This is real growth and its small business, and farmers, not cartels, and corporations .  This is the shot in the arm we have needed for a couple decades now . Hope, Change, Something New, all the promises made here it is .
  Look I gave up smoking pot twenty years ago and even I think this is a good thing . We need a windfall in our economy a way to get things rolling and here it is so give it to us . What have you got to loose those that want to will keep right on smoking . Why not make a few tax dollars off of it and rebuild some of our Country while your at it . That's a legacy not killing people with drones Mr. President .
