Since I recieved my . CA M M I DCard, the card that is supposed to help protect our rights from criminal charges.My husband and I have been pulled over by CHP on 3 different trips, each time they can smell pot eminating from the car is there reason for searching. Well of course we smell like unburnt marijuana, just as a cigarette smoker smells like cig. marijuana is worse because it is almost impossible for any person who uses it not to touch it and transfer the smell onto everything you touch, such as car handles. your clothes, your belongings. Two times we've had them use that card as an even better reason to search. It makes me not ever want to leave my house. This article really hits home. Since I recieved my .

I think this is more of a matter of him trying to compromise instead of standing strong for real reform by appointing the wrong people. Either way, I don't think things are as bad as they were under Bush.

But Mr. Elliot is not speaking of the DEA or Federal Supreme Court-he is speaking of the STATE Supreme Court and local or state police; state or local cops are a greater threat than the feds. There's a lot of fear and political pressure on police-especially in small communities- to "keep it clean' and not to let those "potheads" infect their community. Fear and ignorance are the real culprits here; people need to educate themselves and come out of the "Say No to Drugs" mindset. Helping people to understand that marijuana is a natural medical miracle plant and realizing the infinite potential of the cannabis plant for industry and the economy of this country is the first step to lifting the blinders of those who will not see.

If I had some type of expertise that the Canadian Govt or Canadian private sector needed, I'd be moving up there today. I really mean it. This tyrannical DEA-trampling of our liberty (most specifically the U.S. Constitution's 10th Amend) is exactly why we had to fight for our own independence from another tyrannical government. The founders of our great country would be enraged at such blatant Govt abuses. What is it going to take to get the rogue DEA and their misguided, rogue police friends (who are violating their own state laws and the U.S. Constitution's 10th) to stop persecuting people for following their physicians' recommendations? I have never been more sickened by my Govt. I voted for Obama, but I never trusted that he'd follow through with any of his promises. If he continues to be complicit in this very real War on Patients and Medicine, I am going to work very hard to help remove him from office the next election. I am ashamed by our federal govt and terrified that we are sliding down a very slippery slope: If the DEA can deliberately subvert the U.S. Constitution and state medical cannabis laws, then the FEDS can undermine any state laws and destroy our delicate system of checks and balances. All this persecution over an ancient healing plant that has never killed from toxicity. It is unconscionable that Obama and Holder are sitting back and not lifting a finger to end this tyranny.

There is a solution to this. Use the power of the vote to RECALL any public figure that supports banning medical cannabis . REMEMBER we have the power to vote and change " those in power" Use the tools that are the foundation of our republic.
