It is immoral to add to the burden of the elderly, sick and dying. All of that tax money generated is additional costs being added directly to those people. It is immoral to ruin peoples lives because of a plant. This status will not remain that much longer. The religious right is now starting to see the errors of this war. Jury nullification is beginning to take hold. If the pastors start teaching their congregations about jury nullification, the war against cannabis is doomed. The impact of this issue on the vote has not been lost on the Republicans. It could well be that reform of our nations marijuana policies comes from that sector. 2012 will be an interesting election cycle. So far, the democrats have mostly just paid lip service to such reform. Make an implied promise, then forget it after the election. If they try to pull off change before 2012, they can save face. Otherwise the republicans could well usher in the change.

Cross-pollination between commercial hemp plants and marijuana plants would drastically reduce the potency of marijuana. Heh. Be careful what you wish for.
