The real question is which is more harmful - the drug or the stigma? The stigma, of course. Is marijuana a gateway drug? Yes, because the drug dealer is the gateway. Dispensaries displace this caveat. Unfortunately it appears many people are ignorant about the tenets of Prop 19 and of Marijuana - which is why there is so much disinformation being spread. My friend is a victim of the war on marijuana - 4.0 gpa, caught with one joint in school - they took his scholarship. Still pisses me off.

I respect your right to have an opinion, Duke, but alcohol, which is legal, is far more dangerous than marijuana. Alcohol products are also more addictive to the 10% who have the gene for alcoholism, yet kids are never taught in school how dangerous alcohol can be to some people. I know you grew up in France where kids drink wine, but look around you. Alcohol has wreaked more havoc on families and societies than marijuana ever will.

Like a very wise TV senate said in House, "you don't have to succeed to make a difference" and this is precisely what Prop 19 is

[SliszMeisterGeneral]

You can consume it...... but not sell it........? Poor arguments, what is it even based on? Your statements conflict, it just seems you're regurgitating what others have said. Be rational, do some research.

You have much growing up to do, kid. Your claim of support for "live & let live" has obvious limits. There scant difference between your opinions here (based on "personal" observations of drug & family) with those of a religious believer who may go to great lengths to deny your right to live and love as a homosexual. Someone's personal freedoms are at risk, and in this case, you're the one who "knows better" than all the rest. How shallow.

That's absurd...legalizing marijuana would have simply removed the drug dealing element and created a more pure product sold at a cheaper price. So people that wish to take it wouldn't be 1) Ripped off. 2) Having to deal with drug dealers. 3) Not as much exposure to the more dangerous drugs. 4) Not criminalised for a drug that is safer than alcohol and nicotine. And many more advantages.

I like your videos and the cut of your jib...but you don't seem to have thought this through.

Prop 19 has already failed. I still disagree with you. A business will always make more money then an insignificant drug dealer. The business would be more efficent allowing for lower prices. While a drug dealer couldn't keep up with the cheap prices and quanity of the business. This can be observed by just looking at Wal-Mart and a supermarket. The Wal-Mart being the big marijuana business and the supermarket being the drug dealer. In the end the Wal-Mart will always be more successful,

We need more people like James to not only have an opinion but the ability and strength to share this. I discovered this chap on here as a wonderful polite, genuine openly gay activist. This message shows that there is much more to him and he will fight for what he believes... All if this at 18. If more guys and gals his age showed this level of maturity and willingness to spread their word, the world could/would be a better place. Please check out his other posts too... NO TO PROP 19!!!
