That certainly has not prevented its use. Today, more and more Americans disagree with the law. However, breaking the law is not the path to rectitude; changing it is. By downloading this podcast you are taking a step to inform yourself of the good word about the good herb. You should always do your own research, but here we present a viewpoint that you do not often get to hear about: that marijuana is not a tool of Satan. By listening to the show, you will be a part of the growing number of people who want to repeal marijuana prohibition and who are doing something about it.

Bruce Cain, editor of New Age Citizen (www.newagecitizen.com), shares with Sense & Sensimilla his New Agenda for America, which involves the Marijuana Re-legalization Polilcy (MRP) model.
âThe MERP model of Marijuana Re-Legalization would minimally allow non-commercial cultivation, by adults above the age of 18, to be done without any form of government taxation, regulation or other interference.â
We just want to remind everyone that next year, in 2008, marijuana prohibition will have been in effect for 70 years. Let's not make it to the centennialâperhaps the MRP project can help us not get there!
Re-legalization is an "emerald dream," indeedâwhich is the name of the song you can hear throughout the podcast, written and performed by the Boys of Greenwood Glen (www.myspace.com/boysofgreenwoodglen).

He founded the DRCNet nearly 15 years ago in an effort to bring rationality and compassion to the tyranny and harm of the drug war. Since then, the organization has forged global ties with people at all levels of the Drug War, from politicians, educators, and lawyers to parents, students and journalists. The organization communicates with politicians via lobbying efforts and everyday people by way of their weekly e-newsletter. It also unites with other reform groups to expand the network and fight even harder. Here, David discusses some strategies for success as well as obstacles to surmount.
