I just want to say I appreciate what you and others are doing for us Iowans and, in fact, all Americans. It's not an easy fight and you've stuck with it, which is very impressive to say the least.

Did you guys see the legalization debates in California...any thoughts? Do you think it'll change anything if it passes or will the law have to change at federal level for things to change?

I did watch the legalization hearings in California. Everything that happens is changing our society, but I was not extemely impressed with the hearings. Imposing a high tax leaves a lot of room for criminals to take advantage and make a profit. The only way to reduce crime is to reduce the price. Nevertheless, it was interesting. None of the attorneys who spoke said anything about why marijuana continues to be classified as a substance having no accepted medical use in treatment in the United States. They should introduce a bill to force the Attorney General of California to demand marijuana be removed from that classification because marijuana does have accepted medical use in treatment in the United States. Thirteen states say it does.
