Legalize it.

You may have heard about Colorado and Washington... they've legalized pot. However, Federal law supercedes state law, so like with California and other states that have pro-marijuana stances the DEA can come kicking doors in at any time...

That said, we could be on the cusp of something really awesome in this country... rational drug policy. We have something like 5% of the world's population, yet approximately 25% of the world's prison population. This is alarming and it's directly tied to the failed War on Drugs.

A petition has been started to amend the Controlled Substances Act to remove marijuana from the list, effectively turning over the discretion to the states (as it should be). While I don't expect it to grow legs, it can at least raise an eyebrow or two in DC...

Sign it.
