1:14 "We need to sit back, take a deep breath...." and light one up.

EVERYTHING is a potential for abuse, food,

masturbation, chocolate....any thing that a human feels pleasurable in any way can be abused. People abuse government made prescriptions that cause overdoses, death, addiction. and this mother fucker david hess in the vid is worried about weed abuse??? id much rather abuse weed and not have to worry about dying, addiction, overdose, and cancer than abuse anything else. asprin is very legal and accepted by people and you can die from taking too many

that rep at the end is just making excuses when he says "we need to look at the experience of other states" ?! he still hasnt done that ? if he did, he would see that the NH MMJ bill would be the strictest in the nation

@richardfuckingwatson I'm going to agree but only with all drugs that make people harmless. I smoke some crystal meth in the "safety" of my own house and I run out, than I leave my house with a strong inclination to get some more, causing me to possibly be violent. Psychedelics should all be legal (whether it is safe to take or not)

[richardfuckingwatson]

That makes more sense. Thanks for the clarification. You're right the laws are wrong. In my opinion some drugs are worse than others but the actual act of taking a drug in the privacy of your own home should be legal.

Grammar error, sorry. My thoughts under the writing of the comment, was that making such laws should be illegal. We are victims of a law that forbids us to have a life style of our likings.

Did I say that cannabis is ok, but other drugs are bad? Or was this just an expression of your opinion? If the last, then I totally agree with you ;)

[richardfuckingwatson]

Correct me if i'm wrong here but have u not just gone back on your argument? I read the first half of your comment thinking u were pro-legalisation of all drugs cos its a health issue not a criminal issue. But then u go back on that and say that all victimless crime should be illegall. Surely all victimless crime is not actually crime and should be LEGAL! And saying that cannabis is ok but other drugs are bad is just like saying alcohol is ok but cannabis is bad.
