One of the endless examples is how free American farmers may not grow hemp, yet communist Chinese farmers do-and America's greatest foreign debt is with China. Cannabis prohibition is a destructive monster that must be put to death. Political leaders must stop feeding the monster, and citizens must stop feeding politicians who feed the monster. Ending cannabis prohibition is one of the most important issues of our time. Stan White Dillon, Colorado - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
