Prohibition of POT

My two favorite Governors!  Christine Gregoire of Washington, and Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island... trying to bring sense to the senseless!

 The Oregonian, "Governors Request Pot Sales"

In 1920 Congress passed the 18th Amendment to the Constitution which prohibited the, "...manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States..." Thirteen years later and who knows at what price to the government both in cost of enforcement and prosecutions, and in lost revenue, Congress ratified the 21st Amendment to the Constitution thus repealing the prohibition of alcohol.

How much longer does this have to go on? If we, the people of the United States, forget about the potential medical benefits of marijuana and focus on the industrial implications of this prohibited "weed," we just may be able to create another industry around this formerly accepted textile, which by the way, was a huge player in helping the US win World War II.

HEMP FOR VICTORY!

Campy Out!
