Wonderful link, Crunch. Thanks!

 

That first graph made me laugh out loud.

 

HAHA i know right?

 

"The drug czar’s remarks are worth notice for two reasons. First, they provide needed talking points for those who oppose legalization but who can’t seem to make their message resonate in the face of a well-financed, well-organized pro-marijuana effort. Second, they help clear up confusion about the White House policy on legalization."

Well-financed and well-organized? There are at least six different national groups (NORML, MPP, DPA, ASA, SSDP, SAFER), each of which pursues a different agenda regarding marijuana legalization and whose budgets all totaled might approach $10 million dollars annually. The Drug Czar’s budget is $15.5 billion this year.

 

Does it seem odd that we’re outgunned 1,550-to-1 in dollars, not to mention being considered “a bunch of potheads” versus the might, power, and prestige of the federal government, but they’re having a hard time getting their message of prohibition to “resonate”? - NORML
