Ron should compare the mounds of data that suggest being an overweight tub of lard is far more deadly and costly to society than enjoying some quality Cannabis in the privacy of one's home....by far.

[im1greatman]

I'm not for any taxation but I do think that it should be 100% legal for everyone over the age of 18 to use.

I you can go to war and kill someone, you should be able to smoke a joint!

Natural Herbs alternate the mind, wich people manifest great things with the mind, have visions, Natural herbs takes away the reality, and alters the Great mainfestations in the Mind, and this is why certain people trying to stop it, they want people to remain in reality and suffer, when your relax, and calm and chill out with your mind great awesome things happen, and Natural Herbs bring Love and joy and Peace the fruit of spirit  key to God, evil people want to stop this. Legalize It.

YES! That point drove me nuts as well. Freakin' caffeine is harder to stop using than pot... And DEATHS? In the recorded history of the world, there have been ZERO deaths attributed to pot.

[Catalyst420XxX]

That guy said we shouldn't legalize another addicting and controlling... Is he retarded or just sheltered science and individual studies have already proven it is safe and NON-addictive

When officials open their mouths and spew forth lies about MJ its the best press we can get. Because more and more people are getting educated every day about MJ, then the lies become hate toward the government, and that in turn leads to legalization votes. Its kind of funny when you think about it.

[hiisaac]

if pot was legal. people would drink less...

[stypostve]

dont get cops, being against Sweet Sweet Calamus being legal, really bothers me how they are against this, Cops drink more Booze then normal people, and Caffine "Coffee" makes me Question what Police are really about, helping people are just putting them in Jail crminal system is scary thing.

[stypostve]

why are cops so against this dont get it, if it is legal, and it stops kids from buying it on street why are cops against it, people get natural herb store buy papers, lighter get munchies and go home what is the big deal, cause everything cops say no one is listening anymore, cause smoking a joint, you are not crimnal, maybe some cops get laid off or something, dong get it

[moyluna]

as a member of the mpp i agree it should be lgalized and regulated i smoke not because it addictive but because it is a safer alternative to sleep aids rather to pills.

@Preisellack

You're confusing addiction with lack of self control. Marijuana is not addictive, but it may appear so to someone who has problems with self control, like yourself.

I've used the highest grade medical marijuana for 2 and a half years straight, then quit because I didn't need it any longer. Aside from a few restless nights, I've had no problems managing this change. Marijuana is not addictive, physically or mentally.

[nicolethebuffydon]

@Preisellack I was saying that anything can be addicting when overused. Pot, Rum, Fast food, shit even exercising! There is nothing IN pot that makes it addictive, its weak ass personalities and people who can't cope with the real world that MAKE THEMSELVES addicts.
