not when theres a possibility of having over a million people on it.. petitions are only pointless if they are for small things in towns like skateparks, but for something like this, a good petition can make a statement.

[("The War on "Some" Drugs is corrupt, hypocritical, and causes more problems than the drugs themselves.
The War on "Some" Drugs provides job security and profits for prisons (both public and private), drug rehab centers, lawyers, judges, probation officials, parole boards, and pharmaceutical companies.
The War on "Some" Drugs continually creates a permanent underclass, as many people find that having criminal records documenting illegal drug convictions makes obtaining meaningful employment difficult or impossible; these people will always need to engage in criminal activity or rely on government welfare in order to meet future financial obligations.
The War on "Some" Drugs provides a slush fund for government and police agencies who both allegedly deal illegal drugs and tax and imprison the populace to “fight” the same illegal drugs.
Police use drug dealers as snitches, who then use the police to target competing drug dealers.
Dr. William Halsted, the co-founder of Johns Hopkins and the "Father of Modern Surgery," was a cocaine and morphine addict, even as he was making great medical innovations; I am not condoning the dangers of drug use, I am just pointing out that even addicts can be useful members of society.
A plant called iboga is known to possibly help treat addiction, but it is illegal.
Cannabis actually has medical uses that can potentially treat the root cause of diseases (many of the cannabinoid treatments would not give overt mental alteration, though people should not get arrested for pursuing that anymore than if they pursued a coffee or beer buzz).
Cannabis has the potential to treat many various cancers, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, prion diseases, arthritis, Lou Gehrig's disease, lupus, Crohn's disease, diabetes and its complications, atherosclerosis, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, osteoporosis, depression, anxiety, epilepsy, insomnia, strokes and stroke damage, nausea, MRSA, glaucoma, pain, et al. (Citations found at PubMed.gov)
Cannabinoids were actually patented for their antioxidant and neuroprotectant effects by the US Federal government in 2003 in US Patent #6,630,507; of special importance is the cannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD), as it can attenuate THC's effects, is non-toxic, gives no psychoactive effects, and is illegal.
Tobacco is grown with radioactive fertilizers (source: epa.gov) and many researchers think that this is a likely cause of lung cancer in tobacco smokers.
Cannabis does not need to be smoked (though studies show it doesn't appear to be carcinogenic to the lungs like tobacco) as people can use vaporizers, pills, and tinctures.
Many successful people have been associated with Cannabis (e.g. Carl Sagan, Kary Mullis, Richard Branson, Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs, Tim Lincecum, Francis Crick, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar).
Cannabis can do anything that cotton, trees, and fossil fuels can do, but in a more environmentally-friendly way.
Many people find that legal THC (Marinol) is not as useful as the whole plant because it lacks terpenes and other cannabinoids (like CBD) that have many medicinal properties of their own and can attenuate THC's effects. Marinol is also not meant to be vaporized, is expensive, not widely prescribed, difficult in titrating dosing, and takes too long to take effect.
Harm reduction is the only honest way to deal with drugs; it uses education to minimize the associated harms of drug use and treats addiction like a medical problem, not a criminal problem.
To those who are against overhauling our drug policy and re-legalizing Cannabis, go drink your coffee and alcohol, take your Prozac, Xanax, and Vicodin, smoke your radioactive cigarettes, eat your factory-farmed "food," buy your Chinese-made “goods,” pay the usurious banks that own us by debt, and point your fingers at the other addicts")]
Did not write this, i found it on this Yahoo Article in the comments section. but this guy knows wat he is talking about and i agree with him 100%. he is just much better at articulating his thoughts.......and has the time aha
I wonder if the article was written because of the petition? O:
