My initials BS IS, MCT, MCSE, CIW, A+, NET+, Master MOUS and I have two other AAS Business Admin and Real Estate Sales. I have always worked for myself and my current computer business has been going for 10 yrs. I was BONGED OUT before, during, and after school and studies. I have worked many times more than 60hrs in a week. The only way to I could do all of that was to be high. Lazy useless people may like pot but that does not mean pot caused them to be lazy and useless! LEGALIZE IT NOW!!

medicinally it is going to be pretty much nation - wide....but you can not smoke pot while walking down the street...any more than you can drink a bottle of booze and walk down the street...getting caught in a school or around a school is going to result in infinetly more harsh punishment.....you keep it in your house. PERIOD...the NAVY is FIRST in line, PERIOD.

Responsibility is the answer to abuse..

[Archangel4726]

Because "dope" is slang for a lesser drug...

the gateway thing is the only reason people have to hate marijuana, knowing what we know now, and is the only reason it is still used.

[Zalnar]

Just the money saved from ending prohibition of Marijuana could be put towards fighting harder drugs that do do damage people's lives. The whole gateway thing is usually because a lot of "shady" dealers don't just deal in marijuana and may offer the hard stuff or even give out free samples to hook people in. Marijuana doesn't hurt people, prohibition and drug test discrimination towards responsible marijuana smokers does.

you can't wake someone who's pretending to sleep. marijuana being illegal is like making water illegal, it make absolutely no sense. But if water were illegal, gatorade and pepsi would be making more money, right? and they could advertise on TV more, right? So the news doesn't want to loose these sponsors if they want to make money, right? And if you tell ppl that something was bad for their entire life, since childhood, wouldn't you be able to turn a lie into a truth? i call, show ur cards

[scholz91]

THAT is how aaron should have answered the question

[scholz91]

wow, aaron could have owned that old guy when he started talking about the addictiveness, being a gateway drug and that it makes you lazy. but he just let the guy get away with it. ppl are so misinformed about weed and aaron had a chance to school him
