So let me understand this.
You are saying that you are happy that social media can influence a jury to disregard law and make judgments according to popular opinion?

Yes, as our Founders wrote on Hemp paper and lit their homes with Hemp Oil.
Our Founders would not believe a plant they depended on would be made illegal.
If a Congressman back in our Founders time tried such a thing.
They would of broke out their Hemp rope and hung them.
Which is probably why the Founders put in a way for people to ensure that their will is reflected in the laws.

The original reason marijuana was outlawed in the US was because of the threat hemp posed to the cotton industry and it just fomented into many other reasons from there to keep it illegal.

BTW, I do know that most of you who want to legalize this plant would not understand what i mean. You are just too happy getting stoned... yay, they are going to allow you to be stoned all the time... What a win huh?...

Wow. A cogent thought.
Access and legality are 2 different things. EVERYONE has access. Ask round the precinct, they'll tell you. So, what's your point?

My point is that you can't see the trees in the forest in front of you. I know legalization will happen, it is exactly what tptb want. What better way to keep people like yourself content and obedient than by allowing you to get stoned.

I'm sorry but you're very short sighted if you think MJ is the thing that keeps people docile.
There are numerous other factors that apply to people who don't take part in a recreational drug.
