Here is is discussing his views on “Good Morning America.”

Look, we live a day when we — as a nation – are facing the worst environmental catastrophe of all time in the Gulf of Mexico, we are waging two wars, people are still out of work, homes are being foreclosed upon at an alarming rate, there’s endless political bickering at every level of government, etc. etc.

If there were ever a time for us to chill out and get high — it’s now!

So why not just take a day to kick back and puff a few buds? Relax, America, and smoke some weed. Why not?

I think it would go a long way to help ease the tensions and anxiety in our great country. That’s why I ask your support of National ‘Get High’ Day.

Your comments are appreciated.

Just one day to start. If we wake up on July 5, and the world hasn’t come to an end, then let’s legalize it permanently.

I haven’t gotten much support from my colleagues on this idea. Kucinich kinda likes it, but hasn’t committed yet. But if I can get everyone who reads this to call their representative and demand a resolution creating National “Get High” Day, I think we can push this through. Just a thought.

What do you think?

Rep. Sal Dennison

It’s tought to turn them down. Any marijuana that I consume is for my own personal use, in accordance with congressional legislation. I’m still not allowed to distribute it.

But please kow that you are in my thoughts, and if there were any way I could give you a stash of joints legally, I would do so in a minute.

I think it should be seen by every American. Check it out, then pass it along to your congressman.

I hate to disappoint anyone, but I feel I need to set the record straight:

While I am legally allowed to smoke and grow my own weed, I am still prohibited by law from providing it to anyone, for free or fee.

Sorry if I let you believe otherwise (especially that Swedish masseuse in Canton — but thanks for the “extras”). Anyway, please do not send any more requests — I think the FBI is opening all my mail, then resealing it before the post office delivers it to me.

I need a good way to sober up for the president’s speech on Afghanistan tonight. Anyone have any thoughts? I hate being dfor these things.
