What would America’s 25 million regular marijuana consumers do with $14 billion? How about pay taxes – gladly.

America's Cannabis Consumers Want to Stimulate the Economy

Fox News interviews Allen St. Pierre
"On a day when so many Americans lament having to pay state and federal income taxes, we're representing America's millions of otherwise law-abiding cannabis consumers, who're ready, willing, and able to contribute this huge sum to our struggling economy, while providing truly 'green' jobs and allowing police to focus on more important priorities. All we ask in exchange for our $14 billion is the right to enjoy pot responsibly and in peace.” – Allen St. Pierre, NORML's National Director
“I would like to ask all Americans to stop for a moment on tax day and ask themselves if this $14 billion could be better spent than on an endless, pointless, counterproductive ‘war’ against a largely harmless plant. We’re eager to start a rational, reasonable debate about changing the marijuana laws, because that’s a debate we know we’ll win.” – David Bienenstock, author of “The Official High Times Pot Smoker’s Handbook”
“Marijuana is unquestionably America's number one cash crop. At a time when millions of Americans are out of work, we need to legitimize this multi-billion dollar per year industry and help families get back on their feet, instead of arresting over 800,000 of our own citizens every year for possessing a plant far less harmful than alcohol.” – Danny Danko, Senior Cultivation Editor, High Times Magazine

(I also wonder why those other “tea-baggers” who have been getting so much press lately, don't object to big-government telling them what they can and cannot put into their own sovereign bodies. Shouldn't we somehow harness rage?)
A thumb for you.
