The Minimum Acceptable Marijuana Policy would be one that meets ALL of the following criteria:

• Makes it legal for any person any age to possess and use Marijuana with permission and / or prescription of their personal physician.

• Specifically prohibits the use of marijuana before or while driving, in public areas, restaurants, clubs, offices and workplaces.

• Makes it legal for any person 18 years or older to smoke marijuana for medicinal or recreational use in the confines of their own home.

• Makes it legal to smoke outdoors only with permission or by policy of the property owners, out of sight of those who would / could object.

• Makes it legal for persons 18 years of age or older to possess up to one ounce of marijuana anywhere anytime period.

• Allows for not more than a 10% tax and or users fee for State and not more than 10% for the federal Government.

• Makes it legal to grow Marijuana for any and all industrial uses from rope to biomass and for any person 18 years of age or more to grow up to 24 plants per person on private property for personal and or family / household use.

If you believe as I do that the Individual should make up his own mind as to smoke marijuana or not, then make a tiny investment in the cause. Make 20 copies of M.A.M.P. and send a copy to President Bush at the White House, another to the vice president. Send a copy to your State Representative and your Congressman and Senator. Send a copy to your local newspaper and hand the rest out to your interested friends so they can do their part as well. If you're brave sign them, if you're paranoid explain why you didn't sign it...
