Hello Governors and Mayor's across the the country.

Well you are looking at budget deficits huh? Well if you are in need of a simple cash cow, look no further than the power of weed. Anyone that argues against the "Legalization" of marijuana, is just simply uninformed, or ignorant of facts. The old arguments of "Gateway Drug" are false, and unsubstantiated. The time is now for a serious discussion, and implementation of removing marijuana from our crime books. This plants "Known" medical benefits have been established for centuries.

Marijuana was ruled illegal, only because of the "Timber Barons Lobby" that viewed it as a threat to their pocket books, back in 1936. 1936? Come on now! People are, and will smoke pot for not only medical reasons, but for recreational reasons also. Just like they do booze. Remember when they tried to ban booze? How did that work out? Oh right, it was taken off the ban list.

Case closed. Legalize marijuana and tax the hell out of it.
