Ok name me one pot head caught with an ounce of weed("natural herb" in your pot world parlance) who is in jail for "years" being a prison bitch to "buubba".
You can't, but what the hey you got an issue and ideaolgy to promote.
You are no different than Kate Michealman of NARAL, whose main tag line is that keeping abortion legal, keeps "back alley abortions(baby killings)" from happening.
Some day you may see that your arguement is as ridiculous as Kate's, but with your stridency for the cause of weed, I highly doubt it.
10,000 Americans serving prison sentences RIGHT NOW for MJ POSSESSION ONLY.
And the FEDERAL crackdown on CA medipot growers started in October 2001: SIX WEEKS AFTER 9/11.
'Nuff said.
