‹Will you consider legalizing cannabis/marijuana/hemp so that the government can regulate it, tax it, put age limits on it, and create millions of new jobs and create a multi-billion dollar industry right here in the U.S.?ŠÖDJ C, Chicago, IL
Open for Questions Response, 12/15/08: ‹President-elect Obama is not in favor of the legalization of marijuana.Š

Now go pester your Representatives!
