Any candidate that says he needs a study on marijuana is lying!
Advertisements [?]
Here is a study that was done by the NIXON Administration in 1972. It recommended FULL LEGALIZATION for possesion and non-commercial transfer of marijuana. Nixon buried this so he could keep locking up 'pot smoking hippies'. Any person who says there's no medical evidence that marijuana is not harmful and that no studies have reccomended legalization is lying!

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FEDERAL LAW

The Commission recommends only the following changes in federal law:

POSSESSION OF MARIHUANA FOR PERSONAL USE WOULD NO LONGER BE AN OFFENSE, BUT MARIHUANA POSSESSED IN PUBLIC WOULD REMAIN CONTRABAND SUBJECT TO SUMMARY SEIZURE AND FORFEITURE.
CASUAL DISTRIBUTION OF SMALL AMOUNTS OF MARIHUANA FOR NO REMUNERATION, OR INSIGNIFICANT REMUNERATION NOT INVOLVING PROFIT WOULD NO LONGER BE AN OFFENSE.
