I have a bit more information on this if anyone is interested.
Here's another entry on The Hill from NORML and it was written in response to the ONDCP's response to the first Hill post that Veggii has brought to our attention. I love NORML!!
For more information here's a couple more links about this informal "debate".

Second rebuttal article on NORML about ONDCP's response to the original Hill post.
I write my elected officials monthly and anytime a Cannabis bill is introduced. I'm sure there's a thread on here somewhere with the responses received (if any) from elected officials. I have yet to receive a response from any official other than my senators and they've only responded (to say thanks for my input but they've made up their minds and they don't agree) when contacted about specific legislation. I've tried voting them out but it hasn't worked yet. Oh well maybe next term

.... we'll see.
Blessed be~
