Menehune,
Just wanted to mention that in the years I've followed this issue, I have to say that the marijuana policy reform groups and movement have to be and are scrupulously honest.
If norml.org or mpp.org, for example, engaged in lying, they'd lose all political and popular credibility, not to mention funding.
Check out Richard Cowen's outstanding, marijuananews.com, site for a good example of what I'm refering to.
On the other hand, our government and pro-prohibition groups are constantly caught lying and distorting information.
They must lie in order to defend the indefensible, Prohbition.
Whether one refers to folks like Dr. Robert Melameide, Dr. Lester Grinspoon of Harvard, Chris Conrad, ect., the folks who lead the reform movement are some of the finest, most honest people one is ever likely to meet.
Aloha,
Lee
