1. Absolutely! Count on it.
I think Mikulski (D-Md.) and Sarbanes (D-Md.) will be a sure thing. Maryland recently became the fist state to legislatively pass a Medical Marijuana Bill into Law. It was the only piece of legislation that passed and was signed into law with out the partisan wars since our Democrat Republican Governor Bob Ehrlich was elected. I think it passed unanimously or damned near. So they should have no doubt that that is the will of the people of Maryland. We're lucky to have two wonderful Senators that observe and enact the will of the people. I hope we can find someone just as good to replace the retiring Paul Sarbanes. But he is one of a kind and a really great guy.

BTW, "Democrat Republican" Maryland is so Democratic. Even our Republicans run as Democrats.

4. Yup, change doesn't happen overnight
If we can get it in the publics eye that it actually helps people, the astigmatism that comes with it will fade away.

5. It hasn't got a chance in hell
There is nothing more valuable to the fascists than their drug war and they cannot let go of cannabis as it is the center pole in their prohibition circus. Four in five people favor medical marijuana, as they should, but it does not make any difference. It is a fascist country with the pill pimpers climbing from the $200 billion level to the $250 billion dollar level in just the last few years.

The cannabis extract, Sativex, has now been approved for Canada after the fascist regulators were so successful in keeping it off the market in the UK when all expectations were for approval before the end of 2003. There is a long history of cannabis as medicine and all kinds of demonization studies that only back up the safety of cannabis. It all does not matter, as the pill companies will not let their servants in Congress cut into their profits.

There will be no way the prohibitionists can deny the eventuality of what is to come as cannabis will certainly be recognized by all as the most medicinal plant on the planet. Sativex has opened the gate on the stonewall position of government and the testimonies will roll in by the thousands and then the tens of thousands. Anyone that studies the cannabis attitude of government understands that the best path is not important as it is clear the worst path is what is desired by the fascists that now govern everything. Even they see medicinal cannabis as inevitable even in the most prohibitionist of all countries, that being the US. What we have before us as the prohibitionists go to plan B is the ""Pharmaceuticalization of Marijuana." Fred Gardner wrote about that recently at CounterPunch.org- http://tinyurl.com/9hak8

Free Cannabis For Everyone.
