I'm tired of signing petitions! Let's make a Council of Ents that get together and write a proposal that creates a better solution for both sides. Details inside

Dear Ents,

I love how excited everyone is over the petitions! It's great! Sadly, they aren't getting much love from the people upstairs. This isn't unexpected, there has been a growing faction calling for legalization for quite sometime and we continually get ignored. Yelling at them to legalize it is something everyone has been doing for years, if we want things to change then we are going to have to change our tactics.

This is where we come in. We need to create an ideal solution that works for both sides. We need a solution that addresses the current issues that creates the justification for the war on drugs (violence, drug smuggling etc.) and the issues that will be created once cannabis is legalized. (Jobs dependant on the prison system, how do we redivert prison budgets, etc.) We all know the generalized philosophy of legalization, now lets talk specifics!

What I was hoping to do is to create a subreddit and then brainstorm ALL of the issues that the drug war attempts to address. Then create a subcommittee of 10-14 ENTs to focus on each issue and decide how cannabis legalization would be positively or negatively addressing that issue. Afterwards, we would then brainstorm how legalizing cannabis changes the landscape and create solutions for any problems that arise using the same subcommitee approach. What we should end up with is a workable solution that benefits everyone. After we create this solution we then submit our petition! and send it too everyone, everywhere. I'm talking facebook, twitter, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC news organizations. If we need a figurehead to get out there and speak, I will gladly fill this or we can elect an Ent that is more capable then myself.

Anyways, right now I am at work, but I am really passionate about making this proposal a reality. If this takes off, I'll get the wheels working on this when I get home! Thanks!
