Federal law must change!! It alienates our children from society by putting them at risk of random police searches, they can't even drive to a store or walk to a park without being accused of being drug users!

And it puts *all* of us at risk of SWAT-style raids on our homes by police that are either misinformed or have made a simple mistake. Many innocent people have died in these circumstances already, will you be next?

How can we get dealers off our streets if we don't first remove the demand for illegal marijuana? We must legalize the production and supply of marijuana by certified businesses. This one policy change will totally rid us of illegal dealers and force all consumers to be carded, just like with alcohol. The consumption of marijuana by minors will significantly diminish, violence from the illegal dealers will be gone, as will the expense and violence associated with the prohibition itself.

Rein in the DEA. Legalize Marijuana.
