Marijuana is estimated to be the U.S.' largest cash crop, exceeding the combined values of corn and wheat.
A few weeks ago, Gov. Arnold Schawarzenegger called for a national debate on the legalization of marijuana, or, to put it "bluntly", a debate on whether or not the government should decide that's it's _okay_ for its citizens to use marijuana.
The debate is over. What will eventually happen is a decision by the government to make money off the front end of pot production instead of the back end (the penal infrastructure).
A government cannot deny its people access to plants (or seeds) in their native state. The right to use plant life as seen fit is not a right conferred by man, but is a God-given right.
As Joe Klein stated in 'Why Legalizing Marijuana Makes Sense' (Time) : "The hypocrisy inherent in the American conversation about stimulants is staggering. But there are big issues here, issues of economy and simple justice..."
Mr. President, if it's not already too late, you have a decision to make: are you going to ACT like a president, or are you going to be a president?
