Legalize Marijuana?

[viclyn]

It should be legal..the only hold up is waiting for the Gov. to figure out how to make its money from it..many states already allow it ..medical use? Think about it.. control=Gov.= to have direct authority.  You think its just those getting busted with it that are the only smokers..the statement "the worst crooks are the Gov" so people should not be shocked when news reports catch and talk about those people. people in office are just like everyone else just takes time to find out but they get better treatment. Think about it people. Myself not a smoker but would rather see that then drinking

[muush88]

Would more people smoke weed if it was legal?  would they make it legal for 13 year olds to smoke it? would more people drive stoned? all these arguments are pretty much useless since weed is prevolent in todays society. if people dont smoke it now why would they do it if it was legal  13 year olds just go to parents medicine cabinets and do whatever they find or any other house hold item that will get them high. they arrest you for drunk driving they givetickets for cell phone use while driving they arrest you for driving under the influence of drugs. making weed legal wouldnt change a thing except taxing it like alcohol and cigarettes. i say keep it just the way it is  ill smoke it anyway if i choose to      and i dont like cheetos, chocolate chip cookies are great stoned

I agree with everything except : keep it the way it is. should i go to jail and not be able to provide for my family because i wanted to enjoy myself and relax after a hard day at work? hell no. weed shouldn't be regulated. if you wanna smoke it, grow it yourself. That's the best way from my experience

[yaayme]

NO!...Marijuana shouldn't be legalized, cause it not only impairs judgment, but DRIVING as well...We have enough drunk drivers and people texting/talking on cell phones while driving. We don't need more dangerous people on the roads to kill us. Can you imagine the consequences!?...There would be urban jungles of weed plants growing out of backyards and people walking around like zombies and crashing into things all day long...The convenience stores would make a killing though from all the Pot-Heads buying Cheetos and chips because of weed induced munches. So NO! Are society is already going to hell, we don't need more degeneration.

NO it dosen't impair driving or judgement. and your statement is highly stereotypical and sounds like you got it from half-baked or another movie of that sort. and smoking isn't the only use. please read my report i posted so you can learn a litle bit.

Unless someone has a debilitating disease and has to use it for medical purposes I personally don't think it should be legal... And it does impair driving cause my little brother made the mistake of getting into a car with someone who was smoking it and he said he started laughing non stop for no apparent reason, but he wasn't even the one smoking it. It has an appeal for a reason, cause if people just wanted to smoke then they would just smoke nicotine...It may be fine to use over there on the island of Jamaica where life moves at a slower pace, but this is America. Next thing you know people would want to make prostitution legal and God knows what else. So if you don't have a disease or have a Medical Marijuana business that caters to those in need, then I don't know why it is of any concern. There are more important things in the world then getting high. Not saying that you are one of those people, I'm just speaking.

well i dont know where you are but here in new york  if you have a little bit of weed for smoking after work  your not going to jail   but if you get hurt at work and they drug test you and find youve been smoking weed  (not on the job) well that does suck, alcoholics get hurt on the job as well but if they dont smoke weed they are good to go.

Ok... So I have horrible nerve damage in my right arm and it is very debilitating, ingesting Marijuana helps with the pain like you would never believe. on top of that the country would not have spots of "Urban Jungles of Weed." Now LETS LOOK AT THIS AS A WHOLE.  We spend more money on imprisoning, searching, processing, and bad PR on the Prohibition of Marijuana then any other "Street Drug."  The revenue each state could make off the selling of and not everything I just mentiond could help lower the deffacite and rais revonue.  Furthermore they say it would be like the sales of alcohol,  witch is a much worse drug then weed, more people; die, get hurt, hurt others, do stupid things wile under the influance of alcohole then marijuana.  I do not believe the lies that "This whole country would be a stoned mess." many other countries have legalization of some sort if not fully and they operate FINE.  Like ciggerates and alcohol, if you have no desire or don't like it you wont do it!!!!!  For the sick, profit, the resorses(as there are a ton from this plant) and common scene it should be legal.  Oh and for the "God loving and fearing" as it says in Genesis Ch.1 ver.29" And God said, Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in, which is fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."

[roguetodd]

I don't really see what the big deal is about it. People who are going to do it are going to do it regardless, so you might as well save taxpayers money and at least decriminalize it.

[hwilliams591]

LOL..the only ones wanting this rediculious thing to be legal are those that are breaking the law doing it now. And some how in their high imaginary minds do they think taxing this will be good for the economy. It is not going to bring jobs anywhere as it is not and never been illegal to make products from it....it is just not the best material for the job!

That post doesn't change my view on it at all. It is proved that hardcore drug use almost always started with marijuana. It is addicting, seen this first hand.
I will tell you working with someone that didn't do their morning lite-up shows how much of a dependance the drug has on them.

Just because it is a plant doesn't mean it is good for you. No diffence in altering your judgement as alcohol, but with a presence that effects others.
There are other drugs made from plants.....lets just have the crackheads preach about the coca plant and how it should be legal.

IMO smoke what you want but do it away from me.

IMO. first, you should thoroughly read the posts of people that you are going to start insulting. Because I, for one, have no problem with the legalization of cannabis and am not a smoker. period. No tobacco. No cannabis. No anything.

Legalizing the plant could produce jobs in the point not so much in by products, but actually tailoring to what the plant will be used for, a smoking material. There will be thousands of farms that will open up to grow the plant, much like the farms in the middle of the country growing food supplies.

Suppliers to actually sell the plant will also be supplied jobs.

Addicts will be addicts regardless of the law, much as you stated. But this law being passed is neither enabling them nor making it easier for them to obtain their fix because for 1, they already are doing it anyway and getting busted for it(wasting mine and yours tax money for the officers that actually have to deal with it) and 2, they will be forced to pay the hiked up prices of the commercialized plant along with the taxes on it, thusly actually deterring them from doing it.

There have been copious amounts of studies proving that cannabis is not addicting, you might want to look into those.

And along with the addiction problem, hard drug users don't just one day say, HEY I'M GONNA GO PICK UP SOME HEROINE TODAY. They start with what is easily accessible to them, cannabis and ALCOHOL. Once these easily obtained drugs become "not enough" they then progress to the next drug. But this isn't true of all users, I know many people who are absolutely appalled by the thought of doing anything else, but don't mind lighting up every once in a while. The main point here is, x-core drug users will do so regardless of the law and they don't just start with a more difficultly obtained drug but rather with what is right in front of their faces, and not everybody who does partake of cannabis slowly degrades into a societal degenerate that just needs his fix.

The thing holding this, and any other country, back from progressing is the shear fear of change and willing to admit that it was wrong. (Reference the Prohibition Acts of American History if you think that I'm just speaking as an uneducated belligerent) Not everything in this world is as bad as you were brought up to believe, no matter how much you might think so. If this was true we should all not be able to use this site right now because the Amish firmly believe that electricity is a gateway to the devil. Let's just try to be a little open minded here.

Lets try and not be so offensive and judgmental in our posts, everyone is entitled to their opinion and not everyone fits into stereotypes as much as you'd like to think they do.

Why Congress Outlawed the Hemp Plant     


On a hot Friday afternoon, August 2, 1937, at 5:45, Speaker of the House, Sam Rayburn, introduced a bill called The Marijuana Tax Act. The bill ordered American farmers to obtain a license from the Treasury Department to grow industrial hemp and made it a Federal crime for Americans to possess, give away or sell it without paying a 1% tax.  

 Farmers who wished to continue growing hemp soon discovered the Treasury Department would not issue a license. In effect, this new tax law had outlawed hemp.  

The cannabis/hemp plant came in two versions. The first version was hemp, an industrial crop with a long history of use, and a very low THC content. The second version was marijuana, the same plant with a higher THC content. THC is the ingredient found in the blossoms and upper leaves and used throughout history as an intoxicant, and to treat a variety of medical problems.

Drug Commissioner Harry J. Anslinger, head of the FBN (Federal Bureau of Narcotics) first introduced the bill into committee hearings for review. The hearings, which should have gone on for days, lasted two hours.

Anslinger told the committee, "Marihuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users, insanity, criminality, and death." Anslinger chose the Mexican word "marihuana," because the committee did not know marihuana was the same cannabis/hemp plant grown in this country for more than three centuries and prescribed by doctors as a medicine.

The first testimony came from a pharmacologist who had injected himself and 300 dogs with what he called the "active ingredient" in marihuana. Two of the dogs died from the injection of the substance into their brains. The testimony raised eyebrows because the active ingredient, THC would not undergo extraction until years later, in Holland.

After the pharmacologist completed his testimony, Dr. William C. Woodward, a lawyer and chief counsel for the American Medical Association testified, "The American Medical Association knows of no evidence that marijuana is a dangerous drug."

This statement prompted one of the committee members to remark, "Doctor, if you can't say something good about what we are trying to do, why don't you go home?"

Another member added, "Doctor, if you haven't got something better to say than that, we are sick of hearing you."

These words reveal a pre-existing hostility between the AMA and Roosevelt's New Deal Democrats who dominated the committee. From 1932 through 1937, the AMA had opposed every piece of legislation proposed by the New Dealers, a conflict that left little friendship between the two groups.

The bill to outlaw the cannabis plant passed easily in the committee and moved on to the House of Representatives (Congress). It landed on the Speakers Platform and a limited number of Congressional Representatives listened in the stifling heat to Sam Rayburn call for a debate. The debate consisted of a single man, a Republican from New York State, who stood and asked what the bill was about.

Speaker Rayburn replied, "I don't know. It has something to do with something called marihuana. I think it's a narcotic of some kind."

The same man asked if the AMA supported the bill.

In response to the question, a member of the committee that had criticized Dr.Woodward and sent the bill to Congress leaped to his feet and shouted, "Their Doctor Wentworth came down here. They supported this bill 100 percent!"

This false statement ended the questions, and the vote began. There was no recorded vote on the bill; instead, legislators walked past this point or that point on the floor to indicate a yes or no vote.

Based on Anslinger's blatant lies and the false statement from the hostile committee member, Congress passed the bill with no debate. The bill was on the floor for a remarkable 92 seconds before it became Federal Law. This new prohibition against cannabis happened just four years after Congress repealed alcohol prohibition.

The new law came under the jurisdiction of the Treasury Department as a tax issue because the Justice Department declined to persecute pot smokers.

The FBN and later its predecessor, the DEA, received the authority from Congress to arrest over ninety million Americans over the next seventy years. Twenty million went to prison.

In 1972, a paranoid Richard Nixon dismissed his own panel of experts, the Shafer Commission, (which recommended immediate decriminalization of marijuana) and declared war on pot smokers. He convinced Congress to authorize the building of the largest prison system in the world.

 Today the hemp plant remains at the top of the DEA’s list of dangerous addictive drugs, next to heroin.

In August of 1937, hemp became illegal.
Sun Mar 19, 2006 03:26
 
 
 
In August of 1937, hemp became illegal. The most useful crop known became a drug and our planet has been suffering ever since.

Congress banned hemp because it was said to be the most violence-causing drug known. Anslinger, head of the Drug Commission for 31 years, promoted the idea that marihuana made users act extremely violent. In the 1950s, under the Communist threat of McCarthyism, Anslinger now said the exact opposite. Marijuana will pacify you so much that soldiers would not want to fight.

Today, our planet is in desperate trouble. Earth is suffocating as large tracts of rain forests disappear. Pollution, poisons and chemicals are killing people. These great problems could be reversed if we industrialized hemp. Natural biomass could provide all of the planet's energy needs that are currently supplied by fossil fuels. We have consumed 80% of our oil and gas reserves. We need a renewable resource. Hemp could be the solution to soaring gas prices.



THE WONDER PLANT

Hemp has a higher quality fiber than wood fiber. Far fewer caustic chemicals are required to make paper from hemp than from trees. Hemp paper does not turn yellow and is very durable. The plant grows quickly to maturity in a season where trees take a lifetime.

ALL PLASTIC PRODUCTS SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP SEED OIL. Hempen plastics are biodegradable! Over time, they would break down and not harm the environment. Oil-based plastics, the ones we are very familiar with, help ruin nature; they do not break down and will do great harm in the future. The process to produce the vast array of natural (hempen) plastics will not ruin the rivers as Dupont and other petrochemical companies have done. Ecology does not fit in with the plans of the Oil Industry and the political machine. Hemp products are safe and natural.

MEDICINES SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP. We should go back to the days when the AMA supported cannabis cures. 'Medical Marijuana' is given out legally to only a handful of people while the rest of us are forced into a system that relies on chemicals. Pot is only healthy for the human body.

WORLD HUNGER COULD END. A large variety of food products can be generated from hemp. The seeds contain one of the highest sources of protein in nature. ALSO: They have two essential fatty acids that clean your body of cholesterol. These essential fatty acids are not found anywhere else in nature! Consuming pot seeds is the best thing you could do for your body. Eat uncooked hemp seeds.

CLOTHES SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP. Hemp clothing is extremely strong and durable over time. You could hand clothing, made from pot, down to your grandchildren. Today, there are American companies that make hemp clothing; usually 50% hemp. Hemp fabrics should be everywhere. Instead, they are almost underground. Superior hemp products are not allowed to advertise on fascist television. Kentucky, once the top hemp producing state, made it ILLEGAL TO WEAR hemp clothing! Can you imagine being thrown into jail for wearing quality jeans?

The world is crazy...but that does not mean you have to join the insanity. Get together. Spread the news. Tell people, and that includes your children, the truth. Use hemp products. Eliminate the word 'marijuana.' Realize the history that created it. Make it politically incorrect to say or print the M-word. Fight against the propaganda (designed to favor the agenda of the super rich) and the bullshit. Hemp must be utilized in the future. We need a clean energy source to save our planet. INDUSTRIALIZE HEMP!

The liquor, tobacco and oil companies fund more than a million dollars a day to Partnership for a Drug-Free America and other similar agencies. We have all seen their commercials. Now, their motto is: ‘It's more dangerous than we thought.’ Lies from the powerful corporations, that began with Hearst, are still alive and well today.

The brainwashing continues. Now, the commercials say: If you buy a joint, you contribute to murders and gang wars. The latest anti-pot commercials say: If you buy a joint...you are promoting TERRORISM! The new enemy (terrorism) has paved the road to brainwash you any way THEY see fit.

There is only one enemy; the friendly people you pay your taxes to; the war-makers and nature destroyers. With your funding, they are killing the world right in front of your eyes. HALF A MILLION DEATHS EACH YEAR ARE CAUSED BY TOBACCO. HALF A MILLION DEATHS EACH YEAR ARE CAUSED BY ALCOHOL. NO ONE HAS EVER, EVER DIED FROM SMOKING POT!! In the entire history of the human race, not one death can be attributed to cannabis. Our society has outlawed grass but condones the use of the KILLERS: TOBACCO and ALCOHOL. Hemp should be declassified and placed in DRUG stores to relieve stress. Hardening and constriction of the arteries are bad; but hemp usage actually enlarges the arteries...which is a healthy condition. We have been so conditioned to think that: Smoking is harmful. That is NOT the case for passive pot.

Ingesting THC, hemp's active agent, has a positive effect; relieving asthma and glaucoma. A joint tends to alleviate the nausea caused by chemotherapy. You are able to eat on hemp. This is a healthy state of being.

{One personal note: During the pregnancy of my wife, she was having some difficulty gaining weight. We were in the hospital. A nurse called us to one side and said: ‘Off the record, if you smoke pot...you'd get something called the munchies and you’ll gain weight.' I swear that is a true story}.

The stereotype for a pothead is similar to a drunk, bubble-brain. Yet, the truth is one’s creative abilities can be enhanced under its influence. The perception of time slightly slows and one can become more sensitive. You can more appreciate all arts; be closer to nature and generally FEEL more under the influence of cannabis. It is, in fact, the exact opposite state of mind and body as the drunken state. You can be more aware with pot.

The pot plant is an ALIEN plant. There is physical evidence that cannabis is not like any other plant on this planet. One could conclude that it was brought here for the benefit of humanity. Hemp is the ONLY plant where the males appear one way and the females appear very different, physically! No one ever speaks of males and females in regard to the plant kingdom because plants do not show their sexes; except for cannabis. To determine what sex a certain, normal, Earthly plant is: You have to look internally, at its DNA. A male blade of grass (physically) looks exactly like a female blade of grass. The hemp plant has an intense sexuallity. Growers know to kill the males before they fertilize the females. Yes, folks...the most potent pot comes from 'horny females.'

The reason this amazing, very sophisticated, ET plant from the future is illegal has nothing to do with how it physically affects us…..

…POT IS ILLEGAL BECAUSE BILLIONAIRES WANT TO REMAIN BILLIONAIRES!

ps: I think the word ‘DRUGS’ should not be used as an umbrella-word that covers all chemical agents. Drugs have come to be known as something BAD. Are you aware there are LEGAL drugstores?! Yep, in every city. Unbelievable. Each so-called drug should be considered individually. Cannabis is a medicine and not a drug. We should DARE to speak the TRUTH no matter what the law is.

Why Hemp became Illegal in America
Here is the link to the original: Source

June 4, 2010 – The answer is simple and can be summed up in three words. RACISM, GREED and LIES.

You see? It was the perfect crime under the auspices of law. ♦ Anslinger  could  justify his new high profile position within the United States Government. ♦ Hearst had the ability to widely disperse scandalous racial propaganda via his own newspaper network. ♦ Dupont wanted to eliminate it’s competition for textiles and automotive fuel. ♦ The pharmaceutical companies couldn’t identify or standardize cannabis dosages. Why would they anyway? If folks could grow their own medicine they wouldn’t have to buy it!


Throughout American history and as far back as the 1600s, hemp farming has been popular and sometimes mandatory. In 1619, the first American Hemp Law was passed at Jamestown colony in Virginia. This law made it mandatory for all farmers to grow hemp seed. In fact, if you lived in Virginia between 1763 and 1767 you could be hauled off to jail for NOT growing hemp during times of shortage. Back in those days it was entirely possible for a man to use hemp as currency and even pay his taxes using the crop. In the 200 years to come hemp remained a popular and profitable crop and wouldn”t even be recognized as a recreational drug until the 1900s.

By the early 1900s, trouble was brewing and times were tense in the American west as the Mexican Revolution was heating up just the other side of the border. This triggered a huge influx of Mexican-Americans which really pissed off a lot of small farmers as the larger farmers consistently employed cheap Mexican labor. Less than a decade later in 1910, the violence from Mexico spilled over onto American soil and created even more racial tension. In 1929, The Great Depression made matters worse. Jobs were hard to come by and there were rumors the Mexicans smoked marijuana and brought it into America via Mexico. The state of California freaked out and passed the first state law banning all preparations of marijuana and what they termed “loco weed”. It’s important to note that there is no distinction between marijuana and hemp,  guilty by association I presume.


About this time the eastern part of the country had it’s own rebellious uprisings to deal with. Authorities conveniently blamed these issues on black jazz musicians since they were known to smoke marijuana. One newspaper editorial written in 1934 states:

“Marijuana influences Negroes to look at white people in the eye, step on white men’s shadows and look at a white woman twice.”

In 1930 Harry J. Anslinger was named the director of the newly formed Federal Bureau of Narcotics who soon collaborated with wealthy American newspaper baron William Randolf Hearst who had plenty reason of his own to support the war on marijuana.

First off,  Hearst had sunk tons of dough into the timber industry up to this point and he needed this industry to support his ever-growing newspaper empire. Secondly, there was new machinery designed to process hemp paper cheaply. This was a huge threat and no doubt would be a formidable competitor to Hearst’s  business interests. Finally, Hearst most definitely hated Mexicans since losing almost 1200 square miles of potentially profitable timberline to Pancho Villa in the Mexican Revolution.

DuPont chemical company soon came on-board in support of the marijuana eradication effort. Pierre DuPont happened to be the President of General Motors in 1920 and he knew that the Hemp Breaker had  been patented. This invention would make hemp processing easier and more efficient by cutting, baling, and separating the hemp fiber from the hurd  so like Hearst, DuPont wanted to eliminate marijuana  as a competitor right from the start.

Several powerful pharmaceutical companies quickly followed suit in support of this war on marijuana. So begins the propaganda smear campaign of the century…

The following is an excerpt from the house committee that passed the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937:

Member from upstate New York: “Mr. Speaker, what is this bill about?”

Speaker Rayburn: “I don’t know. It has something to do with a thing called marijuana. I think it’s a narcotic of some kind.”

Member from upstate New York: “Mr. Speaker, does the American Medical Association support this bill?”

Member on the committee jumps up and says: “Their Doctor Wentworth came down here. They support this bill 100 percent.”

…and there you have it! A ridiculous law based on nothing but a lie!  Source

Run From The Cure: How Cannabis Cures Cancer And Why No One Knows
By Rick Simpson - Friday, March 7 2008
Tags: Breaking News.
Cannabis sativa hemp, the miracle plant, contains the cure for cancer and other ailments.

My name is Rick Simpson. I have been providing people with Hemp Oil medicines, at no cost, for about three years. The results have been nothing short of amazing. Throughout man's history hemp has always been known as the most medicinal plant in the world. Even with this knowledge, hemp has always been used as a political and religious football. I want this knowledge out there for everyone to learn! Watch the documentary Run From The Cure to understand more about using cannabis as a cure for cancer and other medical problems!
The current restrictions against hemp were put in place and maintained, not because hemp is evil or harmful, but for big money to make more big money, while we suffer and die needlessly. Look at a proposal such as this; if we were allowed to grow hemp in our back yards and cure our own illnesses, what do you think the reaction of the pharmaceutical industry would be to such a plan?

Many large pharmaceutical companies that still exist today sold hemp based medicines in the 1800's and early 1900's. They knew then what I have recently found out. Hemp oil if produced properly is a cure-all that the pharmaceutical industry can't patent.

To learn more about my and hemp oil, visit www.PhoenixTears.ca and watch the documentary Run From The Cure. Below the posted videos you will find more studies and research about cannabis curing cancer!

Rick Simpson outside court, 2007RUN FROM THE CURE: A Film By Christian Laurette

After a serious head injury in 1997, Rick Simpson sought relief from his medical condition through the use of medicinal hemp oil. When Rick discovered that the hemp oil (with its high concentration of T.H.C.) cured cancers and other illnesses, he tried to share it with as many people as he could free of charge, curing and controlling literally hundreds of people's illnesses... but when the story went public, the long arm of the law snatched the medicine - leaving potentially thousands of people without their cancer treatments - and leaving Rick with unconsitutional charges of possessing and trafficking marijuana!

Canada is in the middle of a CANCER EPIDEMIC! Meet the people who were not allowed to testify on Rick's behalf at the Supreme Court of Canada's Infamous Rick Simpson Trial on September 10, 2007... INCLUDING A MAN WHO WAS CURED OF TERMINAL CANCER USING HEMP OIL!

Judgement? More like realistic!

1000's of farms and sure this will give all of the drug dealers jobs! 

Marijuana is a schedule I drug which are defined as drugs with a high potential for abuse...funny it is labled in there with Herion, Mescaline "Peyote", and LSD.

Smoked or eaten marijuana can disrupt balance, physical coordination and visual perception. Yeah this is something we need out in the public.

Anyone in their right mine that doesn't smoke, knows what this drug does would not want this in public around their family and kids.

Don't believe everything you read and get out of your cave more. There are benefits of marijuana for some medical conditions, they also have a synthic drug that does the same!
But like all drugs there are side-effects.

[sflynt]

IMO. first, you should thoroughly read the posts of people that you are going to start insulting. Because I, for one, have no problem with the legalization of cannabis and am not a smoker. period. No tobacco. No cannabis. No anything.

Legalizing the plant could produce jobs in the point not so much in by products, but actually tailoring to what the plant will be used for, a smoking material. There will be thousands of farms that will open up to grow the plant, much like the farms in the middle of the country growing food supplies.

Suppliers to actually sell the plant will also be supplied jobs.

Addicts will be addicts regardless of the law, much as you stated. But this law being passed is neither enabling them nor making it easier for them to obtain their fix because for 1, they already are doing it anyway and getting busted for it(wasting mine and yours tax money for the officers that actually have to deal with it) and 2, they will be forced to pay the hiked up prices of the commercialized plant along with the taxes on it, thusly actually deterring them from doing it.

There have been copious amounts of studies proving that cannabis is not addicting, you might want to look into those.

And along with the addiction problem, hard drug users don't just one day say, HEY I'M GONNA GO PICK UP SOME HEROINE TODAY. They start with what is easily accessible to them, cannabis and ALCOHOL. Once these easily obtained drugs become "not enough" they then progress to the next drug. But this isn't true of all users, I know many people who are absolutely appalled by the thought of doing anything else, but don't mind lighting up every once in a while. The main point here is, x-core drug users will do so regardless of the law and they don't just start with a more difficultly obtained drug but rather with what is right in front of their faces, and not everybody who does partake of cannabis slowly degrades into a societal degenerate that just needs his fix.

The thing holding this, and any other country, back from progressing is the shear fear of change and willing to admit that it was wrong. (Reference the Prohibition Acts of American History if you think that I'm just speaking as an uneducated belligerent) Not everything in this world is as bad as you were brought up to believe, no matter how much you might think so. If this was true we should all not be able to use this site right now because the Amish firmly believe that electricity is a gateway to the devil. Let's just try to be a little open minded here.

Lets try and not be so offensive and judgmental in our posts, everyone is entitled to their opinion and not everyone fits into stereotypes as much as you'd like to think they do.

 I Agree
