I’d like to know if the folks who believed that the attempt to eradicate alcohol in America was not working were labeled immoral drunks. After all, those of us who believe marijuana prohibition isn’t working are labeled "potheads" or worse. No matter what they think, the war on marijuana isn’t working. It’s costing billions and it’s giving criminal records to thousands of people who don’t deserve it. The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s annual Uniform Crime Report for 2005 was released earlier this week and it shows that police arrested an estimated 786,545 persons for marijuana violations. The total is the highest ever recorded by the FBI and is about 42 percent of all drug arrests in the United States. Of all those charged with marijuana violations, about 88 per cent were charged with possession only… But the criminal record follows most of them through their lives. Pierre would like to know why America doesn’t "tax and regulate cannabis in a manner similar to alcohol or tobacco. And so would millions of Americans who smoke the weed, many on a regular basis, but do it in secret and keep their opinions to themselves lest they suffer the stigma of being called a "pothead. " In case it matters, and whether or not you believe me, I haven’t smoked marijuana in years, although I know people who do. And frankly, they are much friendlier and seemingly better adjusted than people who drink to excess.

The result is a mushy soup of conflicting rules that makes Silva's wife, Krista, hesitate to even mention that there are homemade marijuana cookies in the refrigerator. Drug Enforcement Administration does not keep track of arrests or seizures related to medical marijuana users because the federal government considers it illegal to grow marijuana for any reason… Azzam, assistant special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration's Riverside district office, said he could not discuss the Silva case because it is still under investigation. Pot Called 'Gateway Drug'However, he said the federal government believes marijuana does not serve a medical purpose and views it as a “gateway drug. ” Many marijuana users end up using harder drugs such as methamphetamine and heroin, he said. Silva traveled to Washington, D. , this summer, hoping to convince lawmakers to support a bill that would prevent the Department of Justice from seizing plants belonging to medical marijuana users in California and other states that have sanctioned the practice.
