e-mail from my congressman
    #8310984 -

Thank you for contacting me about your concerns on legalizing marijuana. I appreciate hearing your thoughts on this very important issue.

Under the Controlled Substances Act, illegal drugs are assigned to one of five groups known as "schedules." These assignments are based on whether drugs have an accepted medical use, their relative potential for abuse, and the degree of dependence that may be caused by abuse of the drug. Marijuana is currently considered a schedule I drug, which is defined as a drug with the highest potential for abuse and no generally accepted medical use.

I am aware that some people argue that marijuana has valid medical uses, such as pain relief for the terminally ill. I respect that argument, but I am concerned that some proponents of the medical use of marijuana actually seek to make this drug more widely available for recreational use. This concern is one of the primary reasons why this issue has been so controversial. Many of my colleagues and I are reluctant to do anything that might result in the increased illicit use of marijuana.

I believe the best policy is to require proponents of the medical use of marijuana to prove it is safe and effective based on valid scientific evidence, documented through the same FDA procedures required for any other prescription drug. Until this time, though, I remain unwilling to enact or support legislation that would alter the legal status of this controlled substance. Therefore, I opposed the Hinchey-Rohrabacher amendment to the Commerce-Justice-Science Appropriations bill that would have prevented the Department of Justice from implementing State laws that would prevent individuals from using marijuana for medical purposes. This amendment failed by a vote of 165-262.

Thank you again for contacting me about this critical issue. Please do not hesitate to write or call me at 202.225.5315 if I can ever help you in any way. If you would like periodic email updates on my Congressional activities, please visit http://baronhill.house.gov.

Indiana also will not support the bill. I got a reply from my congressmen as well.


"Thank you for contacting me to share your views on marijuana. I appreciate your comments, and I welcome this opportunity to share my thoughts.



According to a 2005 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), marijuana remains the most commonly used illicit drug in the United States . While marijuana use is generally unhealthy and has negative social repercussions, it also serves as a gateway drug to more dangerous substance abuse. For these reasons, I remain concerned by the prevalence of drug abuse in our culture and the harmful consequences that are the result of this behavior.

As a career law enforcement officer, I saw firsthand the devastating effects that illicit drug use can have on both individuals and communities. While a member of the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office, I initiated the Drug Abuse Resistance Effort (DARE) program to make children aware of the dangers posed by drug use. I made fighting drugs a top priority within the department and I will continue to do so in the United States Congress. Currently, no legislation regarding the legalization of non-medicinal marijuana has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. If such legislation is introduced, I will not support it.



Thanks again for taking the time to share your views with me. I need your input to make the best decisions possible, so please stay in touch!

Sincerely,

Brad Ellsworth"

Shit like that makes me want to dedicate my entire "career" fighting against that pointless battle. We need more stoners on the "inside" who would push for legalization as vigorously as this douchebag fights against them.

It's not even about having "stoners" in there... it's about having people with some fucking common sense in there. These people do not represent us, they represent themselves. Our system is fucked.

Yes, these people need to stop living in the yester years, and realize what the fuck's going on. I'm sure that career LE cop seen his fair share of LEGAL ALCOHOL consumption, and it's devastating effects on individuals and the community, but I bet that fucker goes out drinking on the weekends still.

Where's the scientific studies on tobacco, how come with all it's negative effects and death tolls, the FDA hasn't ruled it illegal (has no medicinal value, and is abused more then anything)
