well I have to say intelligent people do get noticed, Thank God! Its about time someone with this mans background stood up about the marijuana issue and said what has needed to be said, yes many people are in our prisons for the nonviolent "crime" of possession of MJ and it says alot about our society,I was hit head on by a drunk driver,went to court 3 times,he never showed up once,and nothing was ever done.Yet there are thousands of taxpayer dollars spent on people who's only crime was have some of this weed and the onlt reason the goverment has yet to legalize it is because they have no way to make money from it except from the way they do now,arresting people. When was last time anyone read about someone smoking pot then getting behind the wheel of a car and taking out a famliy...never,not with just pot in their system and the hype on TV and in Ads that say teenagers who smoke it just sit on their little ass and go nowhere in life is also a lie,yes this does happen to some but it would have happen anyway in 45 yrs I have been paying attention. I do think its sad that we as Americans sit back and do nothing about this issue and the major part of us have not one clue as to what really goes on. Perhaps this will go a little more mainstream and good luck to Mr.Cooper.
