Siobhan sent me an email with a link to this report / campaign and suggested I post it on the Forums in the hopes that people would send the "What you can do - Take Action!" link, below, to their friends and relatives and internet groups and forums urging them to send a letter to Congress through that link. And also suggesting that the report, also linked to below, is worth a read. ..alex...
LEAP: We Can End Prohibition Again!! Read the report: The Budgetary Implications of Drug Prohibition - Jefferey A. Miron, Dept. of Economics, Harvard University, December 2008 (PDF) What You Can Do - Take Action! Seventy-five years ago this week, America’s leaders had the good sense to end the failed thirteen-year policy of alcohol prohibition. Once prohibition was enshrined into the Constitution, its supporters thought it would be permanent. But the failure of the “Noble Experiment” was so great, the prohibitionists could not stop the repeal movement. Today, America is fighting another prohibition, the “war on drugs.” Once again, a large majority of the public knows prohibition is a failure, but this time there are much graver consequences. While our drug prohibition policy has already lasted much longer than alcohol prohibition, it is, fortunately, just as temporary." www.WeCanDoItAgain.com Tami PRN Thank you Dr. Alex Deluca and Siobhan Reynolds Posted on 12/03/08, 10:12 am |

Tami - very very interesting~~
I went to the site and read the letter- I understand how prohibiton was a disaster -not to mention just a stupid idea...Im just curious...the plan is to legalize all drugs? I didnt get the whole picture and a Big picture kinda person. :) I would have to make an opinion based on what this may mean down the line-well, I guess the big picture. I need a little more info of what they want to do- IMHO I think they should look at legalizing Marajuana-even though I dont personally use it( I dont think I even spelled that right LOL)because...well- I wont go into it here but, there are many reason for legalizing that would probably benefit more people than not- also more jail space for the REAL criminals that they "dont have room for" so they get lighter sentences. Thats stupid. What I DO know... the stupidity that surrounds the prescription drug war needs to end! Anyway thanks for this info...I would do what ever it takes to help- and help YOU for sure... I understand the point they make and similarity between prohibition of alchohol- and how dangerous illegal drugs are - I just am looking for more info on exactly what drugs they want to legalize? I havent made any opinions yet but would like to help. Thanks again Tami~~

Thank you so much Tami, for finding this important info for people like us who must take medicine to have any quality of life. This is such a serious problem for so many of us and our physicians and you just don't know how serious it is until your own doc is frightened into not treating you well anymore because of the threat to his/her practice, or you've been treated less than human in a medical situation. I myself would probably take my life if I was not able to relieve my pain enough. The pain I experience is worse than having a baby at times when it gets out of control and on a regular basis it is all consuming of my energies. The medications are the only thing that has saved me and my life is at least tolerable. please keep up the great works girl. You are an angel here on earth. May your pain be minimal soon.
Love light, truth and service TerrieAnn 'ralop"
