This is definitely one of those areas where the government should keep it's fat nose out of peoples business... How would let's say, Protestants like it if their religion was outlawed, just because they couldn't get 50% of the votes to keep it legal?.. Our religion, what we put into our bodies and a lot of other areas of our lives are none of anyone's business.

I don;t think so. Why not try checking it at http://www.colorado.gov ? I think it's better if you make a phone call and ask the officials in the State

Keeping drugs illegal hardly makes money for the government.  We spend billions each year and have little to show for it.  Instead, the reality is that it is very politically unpopular to come out in favor of legalization.  actually there are even several conservative thinkers who despise addicts and addiction and drugs in general nonetheless favor legalization (including legendary but controversial conservative economist Milton Friedman who died last week) as a policy.  Until these voices can convince the general public that legalization would save money and lives and not constitute society's tacit approval of what is generally destructive behavior (yes, even marijuana can have dire consequences for its abusers) there will be little political impetus for change.  Thus, right now, the issue is simply a nonstarter for any politician who wants to keep his or her job.

Yes voting...But the problem is they are trying to pass the bill at a time no elections or voting is taking place. They are not daring to put this out here at this time for us to vote on. While they do this, they as well as many groups with personal gain and interests are spreading false poll results and false statistics to persuade Americans that it is a done deal and that they would be out voted on this.\n\nIt couldn't be farther from the truth. I have a website with a polls forum on every important national poll going on right now. So it would be a good idea for everyone to go there and put their votes in. So that the truth of how the MAJORITY OF AMERICANS feel about all this. At the moment it is running 95% against amnesty at all the polls I have seen in 2 days.\nThere are also links to sites who will email or fax all your congressmen and the president about your views for free.\n\nhttp://alipac.us/forums.html

He's my bud, a fellow Texan.  I voted for him twice and still stand by him.  I am a little miffed about his stance on the illegal situation and I want him to be tough on this.  But I have been thinking and I feel that he has sincere compassion for these people.  He's in a very tough spot.  Actually, he's been in a tough spot since election day in 2000!  Poor guy has been plagued by everything imagineable.

Oh please give it up and try to get something accomplished other than this useless pursuit.  The chances of getting marijuanna legalized is slim...well at least the way things are going now.  Banning smoking here and there, how things are cooked, what you can and can not say...we are in the "control your every way shape in mean for your own good" nanny state of mind now.

She IS the lady who fights for trees, right? If so, I greatly admire her. I've been accused of hugging a few trees myself!\nWe MUST do something about deforestation. Of course, the need to harvest trees for paper production could be alleviated if we properly reclassified industrial hemp as a separate plant from marijuana (which it is) and began growing hemp for paper, clothing, food, etc...\nIndustrial hemp is not marijuana and should not be illegal. Think of the trees we could save and the business and jobs that could be gained!

I don't think that it should be a Gov't choice...It should be the owner of the property choice....I have yet to be somewhere where smoke bothered me because most places are non smoking...bars here in Ohio aren't most anyway...and that doesn't bother me at all...maybe the next day after smelling my clothes and hair but my breath probably stinks just as bad after a night of drinks.  This is just a way of people controlling and getting money...one of the issues on the ballot if you read closely says money for the "clean air fund"...if they band smoking why would you need a clean air fund...and what on earth are you going to do with that money?  I prefer my money to go to my child's college fund...but If this passes I won't have a choice will I?

Not comletely legal...and even if it were federal law over rides states...haven't you seen the med marijauna in CA??\n\nIt's not now...but we are still working on it...\n\nThe government can't keep the lie up much longer...people know that marijuana is not nearly as harmful as they try making it out to be.\n\nI am more concerned with my son trying harder drugs than pot...in fact I would be more angry if he come home drunk than if he come home high....but I would still be pi**ed!

Yep! \n\nAnd I do a mixed bag in voting.... I usually go for canadites I feel are doing a good job or support things I believe in (not just Blue vs. Red).

I don't think it will ever be legalized in all 50 states because the government can't figure out a way to get every tax they feel inclined to impose.\nIf pot is legal to smoke then everyone will be growing their own.Can't tax what you don't know about.Only monies collected on homegrown will be thru fines imposed on the smoker after the consumption and that's only if the smoker is dumb enough to go out while stoned and get caught doing something stupid.\n\nIn a way I can't help but feel like they may as well legalize it and save us all alot of tax dollars wasted on the war on drugs.\nBut then on the other hand I really would be uncomfortable going into surgery wondering what my surgeon had to smoke a few minutes before.Or the judge that was trying my lawsuit.Or my kids teachers.And lets not forget the guys building the skyscrapers or the bridges we drive on or the ones working in the nuclear powerhouses.Especially not those guys!Do you really want Homer Simpson sitting in front of the destruct button with a big doobie in his mouth nodding off?\nWe all want a little escape from reality.We just don't think about everyone wanting to escape at the same time or the consequences when they do so.
