Just when you thought Arizona couldn’t get any more provocative, or push any more of the federal government’s buttons, it looks like America’s 48th state may actually become the 15th state to adopt another very controversial law!
“Secretary of State Ken Bennett’s office on Tuesday certified that organizers of the initiative campaign had turned in enough signatures to get the measure on the ballot.”
What measure is he referring to?
The Medical Marijuana Initiative, of course!

While it is a step in the right direction, only a full legalization of marijuana would decrease the violence caused by drug gangs.

Medicinal pot is actually pretty benign compared to some of the harsher pain medication out there.

Why is that? Obama, someone who has admitted to drug use, has the power to get a process started to remove marijuana prohibition from the books. A vast majority of Americans seem to have no real problem with marijuana usage. What's the deal?

A vast majority? Where do you get this idea? I don't know anyone who supports marijuana. Most places of employment will fire you if you test for it. I don't think that is not having a problem with it.

I am beginning to wonder if there is a conspiracy behind the drug war and forcing such an innocent natural substance to become illegal.
What if the CIA is in on a conspiracy with the drug cartels to harvest the drugs, ship it here and make loads of profit.

They are still bastards for that immigration law, if upheld, all white people would be forced out of arizona and back to england where they came from leaving only american indians in arizona as american indians are the only true native people of arizona.
