There are exceptions, but generally potheads are more cautious drivers.

“AND ON TOP OF THAT IT STINKS ABOUT AS BAD AS A POLE CAT.”

Nah, worse. Pole cats aren’t really all that bad.

Regardless, stink is not justification to forbid consumption unless it personally affects you.

If hemp were economically superior, it would be used in the countries where hemp has remained legal. Potheads tell each other your story to support their paranoia. David for Hearst REGARDING:

Folks who don't really need it probably already can get it and eventually will mess things up for everyone. However, don't get me wrong, if it were never illegal to start with there would be a whole different mentality about it. But since it is illegal, I'm against it solely for the message it sends to our children. It's definitely a gateway drug. It leads you to meet people who are into other things. The teenage/young adult mind cannot comprehend all the variables behind their actions and are susceptible to make poor choices. We'll see how it turns out. @Nod– Oh I agree it will get abused.

But i guess the more impaired/distracted drivers the better. Also if it was just for the ones that need it for real, OK. But every Tom, Dick, and Harry that comes along will lie to get legal dope.

We need a man/woman with character who has the peoples best interest at heart. @Nod--- Really ? Seems your history of the subject is not up to par. If not for two wealthy pine plantation owners with numerous friends in legislative branch of government, we'd have hemp mills instead of pulp mills and marijuana would've never been illegal. As it stands now, the government has spent so many billions telling us how bad pot is that they have to save face by letting states do all the work then come out with some stupid study "marijuana not as harmful as once thought." @JJ—100% right on.

Good move. However, on a separate note, Matt is not the right man for the job he is doing! He has a criminal history and has received special treatment that others can not get, such as getting his DL suspension reversed for refusing to blow on a DUI arrest. Spoiled, privileged and arrogant is Not what we need representing our district. How about electing a real man/woman of true American character, next time, people; not daddy's boy Matty!
