The fucking Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper. Legalize it!!!!

[JOgleJSO1]

Does that mean that our own government is in illegal posession of a controled substance? what should be done about that?

[Nakor420ish]

The one problem I see with legalizing and taxation ( I'm for it because I love smoking pot. :P) is that once the tobacco companies get into the game, they will start adding dangerous chemicals to make it more addictive, just as they did with cigarettes. Also, they use radioactive fertilizers, which in turn cause cancer. So then the reefer madness crusaders will be able to say "I told you so" even though it won't be the cannabis doing it.

I don't think i wanna trust the government to ensure the safety of the marijuana. They let so many bad food and stuff out into the public. And they always claim it's safe. why believe them now?

the drug companies get their greedy hands on the stuff and drop the price to where the black market can't compete and turn will stop all the traffic of human lives, guns and other harmful activities like killing cops on the boarders of mexico. Can you see the chain of events. 20 years from now will tell the whole story when the gangsters/cartels are out of business and wars on the boarder are gone and most americans don't even care about marijuana, this will be clearly the right path of action

[skywarrs17]

once this all happens the goverment will release thousands of prisoners and that in turn will release billions of dollars housing non violent offenders, scratch the felony off their records and return their children to them. talk about cutting the budget in half. Plus our goverment that is making millions in their back pocket will now lose there funding to be reelected by the system that destroys life every day. prohibition is a money making scam for are cartel goverment. "Do Not Allow"

Sideburns babe!

[drdoom554]

that stupid ass govenor wonders why alot of countries have it as a controlled substace. i forgot which act it was but i know it was after the controlled substances act of 1970. and yes you dumbass is started with racism... the el paso ordinence of 1912. gay ass anslinger didnt like mexicans so he used "marihuana" as an excuse

[l3m0np13]

Why was that dude so hell bent on comparing our marijuana laws with other countries, that type of narrow minded thinking is what we need to avoid so vote him out and vote for someone that actually has a plan!

[chrisajenkins]

It was tricky Dick (Nixson) who told Napal that if they didn't close their hash den etc. that they would lose the aid money we were giving them. We need to speak louder this crazy that it is not legalized. We need to march in Washington!
