Kerry flunks Cannabis Policy

[Virgil]

Today there was a puff piece from CommonDreams painting Kerry like he was cannabis friendly. It called up the NORML rating of A-. NORML does not know crap. Kerry flunks Cannabis Policy. What follows is my comment and is my writing without edit or corrections from http://www.cannabisnews.com/news/thread18241.shtml#6

Kerry is no Messiah

It is the reform movement aroung the world and the changing wind in the United States, that has caused this little tipping of the hat to the cannabis community. If Kerry were a true supporter on an intellectual level of medical marijuan he would be screaming that the Schedule 1 classification of cannabis is a total lie. He would say that it should be downgraded to Schedule whatever Dr. Russo says and the states can do what they want.
If Kerry is A- on cannabis we have some serious grade inflation. Besides that this is lip service. Where is his legislation. He is a Senator with a staff and the Senate is in session. It is time to call him on the details of prohibition. He is not giving a nod and a wink because of the Kerry history on cannabis needs changing, he is changing because of the growing wind.

I still say it makes more sense to vote for DK if you want your voice heard. But even with Kerry someone has to attack the rheotoric and ask where is the legislation Kerry. Bush ran his mouth on MLG and look where we are.

You can be sure that the GW extracts are forcing the hand of anyone that lies to defend the Schedule One Lie. There have to be defections because what is a Senator going to say when an MS patient in California that has broken the total prohibition thanks to 9th Circuit Court of Appeals calls him a liar and he holds up a delivery device full of homegrown medicine.

The SOL is completely indefensible. At this point, I think a lot of people have lost their marbles. For these Granite Staters that are applauding, they should be screaming. They should be screaming for the Kerry position on the SOL. They should have used there words to reach more people about GW extracts and to demand action.

Kerry's position is not correct. It might be the most friendly in tone while lacking any substance. I understand people can say Kerry is the one to back on the cannabis issue. I also know it is the wind that has made him bend. The thing should not be to praise. The thing should be to blow.

The one thing it does is break the silence. We need to advance the truth. We also need to demand action instead of words. There is still the issue of freedom and we should speak of that. If you continue being robbed with black market prices, we will not arrest you is not friendly. It still will not keep you from being drug tested and fired from your job.

Dean cannot change the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals views. Dean cannot stop GW extracts from working. Dean cannot keep those extracts out of Europe and Canada, Australia, and NZ. He cannot stop India and the UK and then the rest of the world from making their own as it only requires seeds, light, water, soil, and alcohol. Nobody can stop it. The jig is up.

Kerry's position on cannabis puts him at maybe a D+. You cannot receive a passing grade and support the SOL. The wind should attack the Kerry words and say your legislation on this is an F.
