LOL that cunt is brain washed by propaganda.

First off, marijuana has NEVER been linked to lung cancer.

second, marijuana does not cause schizophrenia; schizophrenia is hereditary... this has nothing to do with marijuana.

third, she said that marijuana is the combination of alcohol and tobacco. well, people can just smoke a cig and drink alcohol... would they make that illegal?

fourth, Calvina GAY changed the subject when that guy asked her about the drug cartels. Stupid, huh?

Enough said.

@KripDrip

You are also actually incorrect that the use would "skyrocket" as evidence actually points to the opposite. Marijuana use has declined quite steadily since it was legalized in Holland in 1976. In fact the use of cannabis is higher in the U.S and the U.K than it is in Holland.

@KripDrip

The real reason is you guys to the south. Canada and America have a very important relationship for both countries, and if we made marijuana legal it would really piss off America and sour our relations...I've always felt that it needs to happen in America first...which it will. Its an education process, thats being exponentially more implemented and obviously having effects with the latest wave of decriminalization. BTW its been decriminlazied federally here for amounts under 30g's

@KripDrip *pokes* i posted that last year before the vote ... i had high hopes (no pun intended)

[KripDrip]

only potheads thats high would think the drug cartels would go away. They still make money in cocaine, heroin, crack, meth, human smuggling, arms trafficking, contract killings, ect..

what do you think? If marijuana is legalized, criminals will say "ok, im gonna be good and follow the law........" These are CRIMINALS!!

[KripDrip]

why dont you people in Canada get your government to legalize marijuana? Canada is not a state like California ruled by the US federal government. Its allowed to make its own rules. Why dont Canada just make marijuana legal?

[KripDrip]

yes we do. Theres still hillbillies in the south distilling illegal liquor cause of the high taxes. People buy from bootleggers cause its cheaper since they dont pay tax on it.

[KripDrip]

the only reason marijuana is so expensive is because the supply is low due to the cops busting so many drug dealers and eradicating all those illegal crops. If it was legal, the supply would go up, the price would go down and use would skyrocket!
