[…] more money wasted on drug enforcement? Currently, the biggest cash-crop in our country (cannabis), goes untaxed, while the fourth-largest cause for imprisonment is marijuana-related. Why are we […]

I also say that the legalisation of cannabis would provide smokers with a healthier option. countless times in England I have come across mj that has been sprayed with every additive known to man to increase the weight and profit they make. legalisation would provide a standard smoke that we know to be safe and consistent. although at first the government may not allow for stronger strains to be sold legally, they may allow us to grow our own as long as it’s not up for sale. This would put a stop to unhealthy additives such as silicone or glass being sprayed onto buds to mimic THC crystals and increase weight.

this is a clear story in my mind and reminds me of friends telling me to be careful picking up from unknown dealers.

Prisoners being held for the peaceful, non-violent possession, sale, transport or cultivation of cannabis hemp must be released immediately. Money and property seized must be returned. Criminal records must be wiped clean, amnesty granted and some sort of reparations paid for time served. These cannabis prisoners are the real victims of this monstrous crime against humanity called the “War on Drugs.”
The United States is supposed to be a free country, yet those who choose to smoke this mostly harmless drug are penalized. An American can go out and drink themself to death, but they cannot freely use a drug which is less toxic and less prone to making one out of control than alcohol. I say this is not only unfair, but also un-American!
The police, prosecutors and prison guards should not be in charge of which herbal therapies people may use to treat their personal health problems.
Federal Judge Francis Young in 1988 called “one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man.”

Marijuana users are not the brightest people, even when they’re not high. – I habitually smoke mj and I got a 3.6 last semester (my soph. year of college)

i completely agree with everything the article has to say. as a smoker, part of the rush is indeed the fact that it’s illegal. when i was in high school, if i wanted pot all i had to do is ask the right person and walk to their house after school at 2:30. there will always be those people that say, oh you just want to get high and be lazy. that Reagan-esque way of thinking only shows that those people can’t accept change. i think the time to legalize marijuana is now. there are far worse drugs for kids to be doing, and if in not mistaken, heroin and cocaine cost a lot more than pot does. i really don’t think your average high school teenager has $1000 to blow on heroin.
