Top news and
information on marijuana, medical
marijuana, marijuana legalization, religious use of marijuana, hemp, hemp
legalization, and marijuana as a cure for cancer.
This is a pro-legalization website. Neither adults nor
children should be considered criminals for possession of
any natural plant given to us by God. Forbidding the use,
possession, or cultivation of any plant is wrong and
violates the laws of God and humanity. No Government should have the
right to prohibit the use of a natural plant or to imprison
any human being for a plants cultivation or possession. The
imprisonment and incarceration of millions of people for
possession and cultivation of cannabis is an evil action
against the citizens of the world and it must be
stopped. Our children do not deserve to be considered
criminals or felons over possession of a plant. The
legalization of cannabis hemp would would be a huge
stimulus to the worlds economy with over 200,000 uses for
this plant. It can provide a solution to our energy crisis.
We could be fueling our cars with non polluting renewable
ethanol made from cannabis. How does legalization happen?
It starts with you. Time to legalize marijuana globally,
country by country, state by state, & providence by
providence. Stop these evil laws against Humanity, God, our
children, and nature. Stop making our children criminals
with these laws. Build Schools not Prisons. Now is time to
legalize cannabis hemp.
Lets Legalize Marijuana Globally.We can return marijuana globally,
Country by Country and State by State. In the United
States we can legalize marijuana one State at a time. We
just barely lost legalization in California. The Federal
Government can not interfere in a State that has Legalized
if all marijuana business commerce is conducted
inter-state. Time to put it to the vote in every State.
Time to shut down the prisons, end the billions spent on the
marijuana war, and then Tax and Regulate.

NORML: Viability of the Religious Use of
Marijuana Defense
Religious
Use of Marijuana
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says the
government cannot make laws "prohibiting the free exercise"

sacrament, and forcing them not to use marijuana clearly
prohibits the free exercise of their religion. In order to
comply with the First Amendment, our laws should allow for
the religious use of marijuana.
