When I smoke Marijuana my knowledge expands dramtically and the amount of things I have "got my head around" and solved in a way is amazing. I have gone through politics and I have solved that time and time again.

Knowledge is Power.

That is one of the reasons that it is illegal.

Thanks, Aaron! Well said and well done.

I went to my congresscritter's office today in person, and aside from going for 2 things (cannabis isn't the only area where the government is screwing up -- I could have brought 9 or 10!). I was able to have a nice conversation with the staffer about the kind of savings and tax revenue we can get from becoming rational and listening to the adults (libertarians) on this issue.

@matthewj1985 actually, that is cigarettes, not marijuana. 0 deaths from it, and impossible to OD in a realistic fashion, the statistics state 1,500 joints in a 15 minute period.

I'm sure they DO have a list, but they'll only come after you if they catch you rocking the boat (or you're Tommy Chong). If you pose too much of a political threat, they WILL come for you. If you're just a casual stoner calling your congressman, I wouldn't worry too much, but if you protest weekly, write for a pro-pot magazine, sell seeds, and run a grow-op, They will arrest you sooner or later. It's the sad and brutal truth...

You cannot disagree with cannabis legislation unless you have tried it. If you have never tried marijuana then you have no right to say what effects it does or does not have. Legalize Marijuana and take away some business from the greedy corporate Rx companies.

Prescription drugs kill more people than illegal drugs every year. Smoking cannabis is no where near as harmful as smoking tobacco.

The stoner community? You mean the 100,000,000 Americans who have tried Cannabis. You are part of the ignorant community who uses little to no factual information of cannabis but, tries to talk down to the well informed. The stoner community is your community.
