I implore mature Ents who are serious about legalization to take a look at the Office of National Drug Control Policy website. The Obama Administration has made it pretty clear that they are strongly against legalization, and reading through their "fact sheets", it seems much of their opinion is selectively based on biased research.

I think its important we give reasons alongside our petition, perhaps even direct responses to "Marijuana Legalization" and "Marijuana: Know the Facts". Let's show our government that we are serious and mature adults who believe recreational marijuana use can be a part of a normal and lawful lifestyle and should have the right to do so under our constitutional right to the pursuit of happiness.

tldr; We need to do our research to back up our legalization efforts.
