Airplane pilots are drunk now, Id rather have them stoned }:)

Prohibition goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a mans appetite by legislation and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.

There is no Gateway drug,the choices people make to put something in there body is called free will !! A God given gift to all mankind.People confuse the word Gateway to someone who will act on stupid suggestions from someone who has no common sense.I hope everyone can understand this beautiful truth.

I did not see one good argument against. And all the arguments for, were good to outstanding.

Also, bringing a marijuana plant to harvest takes more skill than most politicians realize.

Hahahahahaha......... Wait a minute, let me take a toke. Okay, now let's begin surgery. That's a new one, lol.

Oh Dick, your such a Dick!

agreed... ;)

Ol' Dick has been watching too many Reefer Madness movies! If he really wanted to speak about Biblical times& MJ he should speak about howit was used to heal back then. It was a medicine! It still IS a medicine. The only reason it ever became outlawed was due to Political Agendas. Pharmaceuticals, cotton, paper companies would be hurt if it was legal! Those companies have too much clout w/ our corrupt government to make it legal. I think that time is over. Society is waking up to that crapola!

Dear Dick Gammick: 1. There is more to growing marijuana than dropping some seeds in a cup. Please, educate yourself, and quickly before you embarrass yourself further. 2. Albeit alcohol is legal, it is still illegal to perform surgery or operate an airplane while intoxicated from alcohol. 3. These are not good reasons to stay in the dark ages, and for marijuana to stay illegal to posses for the average taxpayer. It is asinine and ignorant.

I cant believe how dumb people (in office??) can be! This Gammick is completely oblivious to reality! Of course this would be regulated so that people wont be high and piloting an airplane or doing heart surgery! Did he really go live to the public with these comments? We need immediate impeachment from all government officials the second they say something this stupid/ignorant. Wow

[theseattlesinger]

@JJmageeful wow, that is very intelligent! What a dumb thing to say

Its really funny how that dude asks if you want your pilot or doctor to be toking as they did their job. Honestly, I would still get on a plane and fly even if I knew that the pilot was high - the high from weed is NOTHING like being drunk from alcohol. If you have never smoked weed, you wouldn't understand though, and I assume that dude has never smoked weed. 99% of doctors are not going to come to work high and they certainly aren't going to be hitting a bong while operating! Ridiculous..
