I see the logic and rationale of your argument, but I just can't get past my cop attitudes regarding illegal drugs.

I see the argument as the "Oh, the laws against illegal drugs are too hard to enforce, so let's just quit trying" argument, even though that's not the argument you are making.

I could support the medical-use issue a LOT easier than I can support the recreational use issue.

Like other issues Democrats have dragged their heels on, one has to wonder: "If not now, when?" How many Democrats do we need to elect to Congress before such commonsense laws are passed to rein in some of the excesses of past eras? How big a majority would it take?

I have made this issue a cornerstone of many of my "no excuses" rants the last couple months or so.

One has to wonder whether Democrats in Congress really WANT their agenda to go forward? Or is it that they don't truly believe that their agenda is in the best interests of the country?

It's hard to come up with the logic behind having a near super-majority but nearly doing absolutely nothing substantive with it.

It seems that that Obama Administration has been in REACTIVE mode since the inauguration. Granted, it's understandable considering the times we live in.

But it seems to me that, if Obama doesn't get proactive soon (like before the mid-term elections) he might find his chances to be proactive melting away.

Moving marjiuna to schedule II makes a lot of sense and would allow the research needed to show what has been known from anecdotal reports for years.
