In America, freedom should not be debatable

Repeal prohibition, it's just not a workable plan never was never will be.

What debate??? There is no debate.

One side is common sense (legalization)

The other side is plain fucking stupid. (illegaliaztion)

@vetsaway this sounds suspiciously like a conspiracy theory. how do polticians all know about it, but not the general public?

Cannabis oil cures cancer.Every president the US has had in the last 50 years know this.You remember not to long ago when a news agency said that polititians are living longer?How often do you even here about a congressman or a senator having any kind of illness.A few yes,but not many.Look at the states on chemo and radiation treatments and the longevity of the people that have to use these treatment.If we couldd grow our own pot we would not have cancer,and i don't me smoking it either.

Take two ounces of pot and two cups of water.Put both in a rice cooker and let cook for thirty minutes.After the thirty mins take it all out of the rice cooker and strian it through a white tee shirt.Put the liquid in the frig to let it cool.Pour the liquid into a bottle of hemp seed oil.Shake the bottle good before using.Take 2 tablespoons a day for 5 days.Your fibromyalgia and arthritis will vanish.I can't say it cured it,but it hasn't come back for a year now.Heal yourself.

Ethan crushed, once again Asa was left looking like a toddler in a suit.

It's about damn time this debate has reached critical mass, this injustice will be undone, and we will make sensible policies that do not create a prison industrial complex, but create a society that doesnt make penalties that are far worse than any consequence of substance abuse.

@Murua467 Nearly everyone in the room of approx. 350 people raised their hands.

What about this, Mr Hutchinson, are you ready to prohibit alcohol ? Tobacco ? Both are drugs and have lethal levels of ingestion. There has never been a lethal level found for THC. What about common sense and personal freedom. I wonder if you will be having a cocktail with dinner after your debate.
