i live in methuen and i dont kno 1 person that doesnt smoke bud legit manzi should just fuck it

[MikeCANN]

Manzi and the city council in Methuen handled it much more professionally and listened to the people on both sides. Obviously I think science should win but understand they had to throw something to the other side after making it an issue. They heard us out and yeah I think they are now aware of that. They saw who was in the room. Good citizens. So Mayor Manzi is a ok in my book. We might not agree 100% on this but he heard us and gave us a big concession on the ordinance.

All cities need to increase fines for anyone smoking marijuana, including arresting them and possibly charge them with a felony. Its a harmful addivtive drug!

[MikeCANN]

Your propaganda is harmful! Far more than cannabis. I use cannabis for daily nerve pain, tylenol which does work is far worse for my body with long term use. I use cannabis often and at times I go weeks without it when the pain isn't there or the source is dry. It's not addictive. Not like cigs or booze which I have experience with. A felony charge is worse for my family and my well being than cannabis ever will be! Do you really care about my well being? I don't think you do. Prove me wrong.

Also, the 70s were 40 fucking years ago.

Look at how much has changed since 40 years ago, 18 states medicinal and parts of CA have already taxed it and made it a part of their community.

You just sound like some ignorant soccer mom that sipped on the DARE juice too much.

Open a fucking book, this plant can heal and change lives, yet we put up with tons of other substances replacing it and potentially killing us.

"If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so." - Thomas Jefferson

So we're just forced to take it lying down without a fight? If the founding fathers had the type of mentality you have, nothing would get done. Sounds like you just have some personal grudge towards "potheads" or weed, maybe you should take a real hard look at yourself and question your real motives.

Why don't you save your breath, be useful and badger tobacco or booze?

[jenn1ifer]

marijuana will never be legal. only pot heads and drug abusers want it legal. congress has a moral right to change marijuana laws and prosecute anyone using it with or without a medical license. learn from the 70's. everyone fought against it, and the government got stronger. and since then, they can sieze ur house car and bank accounts. so keep fighting, and they will build more private prisions just for non violent marijauan offenders. the law is the law. dont argue. POT HEAD
