THE WAR ON WEED - MARIJUANA IS BASICALLY HARMLESS

The Monumentally Stupid Drug War Is Not

By Jim Hightower

The war on marijuana is insane; our officials keep sacrificing tax
dollars, lives, civil liberties, and their own credibility in this
misguided and losing effort.

WHAT YOU CAN DO THIS WEEK

WRITE A LETTER

Help Reform Marijuana Laws - A DrugSense Focus Alert

http://www.mapinc.org/alert/0420.html

TAKE ACTION TO SUPPORT TRUTH!

One in four Americans lives in a state with duly-enacted medical
marijuana laws. Unfortunately, law-abiding citizens from these states
are still prosecuted on marijuana-related charges in federal courts,
and in the process denied the opportunity to speak the truth at their
trial! Urge your Members of Congress support the "Truth in Trials" bill.
