>> *WHEREAS* drug prohibition in the United States has been an unmitigated

>> *WHEREAS* millions and millions of peaceful Americans have been

>> stigmatized, potentially for life, because of their use of cannabis, and
>> the 2 million Drug War prisoners currently behind bars in the United

>> *WHEREAS* drug prohibition has been the major driver of the practice of

>> convicted of, or sometimes even charged with, any crime; and
>>
>> *WHEREAS* this gross violation of legal  due process, has

>>
>> *WHEREAS* unconstitutional statutes attempting to control what people
