Sane is right again. Some just watch tv & beleive what they hear. Others who are considered Questionable know alot more than they r givin credit for. Alchohol & tobacco, Pharmacutical drugs are far worse than Marijuana or Cocaine. They make more money by keeping them Illeagle. Lawyers & State make a killing by fines, Probation etc. People need to get smart. Quit being so trusting of our Quote “Leaders”. Especially In Washington. Leaglize them & make tax revenues. Make tobacco & Alchohol illeagle. Yeah right. Dont know anyone who has died from marijuanna usage. Some have died stealing it .

@SMaxson……3 yrs a slap on the wrist? So now tax money has to take care of this man for over 1000 days x 3 meals a day along with medical and dental…..yea he may get some type of bill to later blah blah blah……..Then you say they dealing poison…..but the prescription drugs we take has far worse side effects than what we are having treated……..Alcohol and tobacco are very bad, but to much money in Washington to do anything about it and those two think three is a crowd……my sister is a breast cancer survivor and the only thing that helped her thru nausea from kemo treatments was marijuana. And when you see your baby sister in pain you will do anything to make it go away for even 2 hours. That was 3 years ago, she does not smoke it now and have no desire to, but she will tell you that it help her and all cancer patients should have that option…I say yes to marijuana and no to legalizing all other drugs……a plant versus chemicals……

@just sayno, You meant your father was a functioning alcoholic not a dysfunctional or he would have been the opposite kind of person.Quit trying to teach class when you still need to study. @ FRed your right ,pot is not harmless,but niether is driving a car,playing baseball, or cooking in the kitchen. It should however be a right and a freedom for those who want it. So you do your thing I’ll d mine. Legaliz it now and save our country tons of money,because the ones that want to do it are going to anyway and you and all the laws and lawmen in the country can’t stop it.

To those who are saying “do the research”, I have. I have written dissertations on this subject that most of you would not understand. When you folks do your research, you go to the Internet. You’re going to have to do better than that. Travel the world and get your hands dirty while doing some research. The receptors in the brain are not destroyed by marijuana, but rather “insulated” by a layer of “fat” that slows down the transmittal of “information”. (Trying to use words all can understand.) The whole marijuana debate takes different meanings to different people. Teens want it legalized cause it’s fun. Adult users want it legalized because it’s a matter of liberty, freedom, and the right to choose for ones’ self. You know, basic American beliefs. Now for the challenge, who knows why pot is illegal? I do, but I want to see you do your research. And no, taxes is not the correct answer. Get to work class!

“many successful people smoke weed every day”

Lots of successful people are women beaters,pedophiles and serial killers too.

My father was a dysfunctional alcoholic. He got up every day of his adult life and went to work and we never went without as kids. The greaest guy anybody would tell you. He never missed a day in church or of work but the fact is, just because he was successful in life and a great man and father doesn’t change the fact that he was an alcoholic. Just because “you” think you’re successful in life doesn’t make you not a pothead if you smoke marijuana. It makes you delusional. If you smoke weed you are a criminal, buying it and possessing it under the current laws makes it so. That doesn’t make you a success in my book. It makes you a loser who is good at what you do…

Smoking weed doesn’t mean you’ll be a successful person infact more than not the people using it are less than successful. Sure successful people may smoke marijuana but so do alot of losers and if your successful for how long? Until your first failed urine test? Successful isn’t being good at what you do knowing that your success could end at the words “we need you to fill this cup”.

Read the research and then make your decision. Pot is not harmless. Like cocaine, it does damage by overloading receptors in the nervous system. It’s nowhere near as bad as crack, don’t get me wrong. Today’s pot is much stronger than it was back in the 70s when we were kids. I know a lot of people hold this opinion that it’s no worse than alcohol (which is very dangerous when used in large amounts over a long time), but it really is. Just read the research and arm yourself with the scientific facts.

All of these arguments are crazy. Marijuana is just as bad for you as drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes. But, its NOT worse than anything else either. Alcohol is legal, but I havent worked a job yet where you can drink, even the slightest amount, while working. Operating heavy machinery, driving, or whatever, doesnt matter. Those people arent doing it impaired. I’m sure if marijuana was legal, it would be no different in society than it is now. People would smoke after work or on weekends, and for the most part, doing it in privacy. You dont see many people walking down the street getting drunk, drinks in hand. And those who are, are jobless lowlifes already, so why not offer them a joint?

I say what the hay? Smoke or dont smoke. We all have choices in life. Its up to YOU to make the right one.
