This initiative will also protect medical-cannabis users and release people from jail whose only crime was nonviolent possession or ingestion of cannabis. This is our opportunity to put our money where our mouth is. Join us in California by donating or volunteering for the California Cannabis Initiative, [a group that] is working hard at bringing the Tax, Regulate, and Control Cannabis Act of 2010 to the ballot box. Let's end this senseless war that has drained our local, state and federal treasuries and has destroyed more families and lives than any drug itself could have ever done.
