Legalize home cultivation of cannabis hemp in New York State in 2009 

With the economy in a crisis right now there is no sense in spending billions of dollars a year to keep non-violent people in jail and to investigate and prosecute cannabis growing operations. This is a potent medicine that can be homegrown and there are millions of people who could benefit from the health promoting qualities of THC. Especially in concentrated oil form, it has proven to be an effective remedy for most cancers, Alzheimer's, arthritis, diabetes, glaucoma, heart disease, and many other common and uncommon ailments. Cannabis has never proven to be a threat to public safety or public health, so there is no reason to have laws against it. Cannabis prohibition is the real crime that we should be fighting.  www.nycamp.org/cancercure
