I don't need to explain anything......Anybody with a minute amount of education regarding Marijuana and Marijuana reform knows they are telling the truth.......Do some research before you try accusing a bunch of distinguished potheads of using safety as an addendum to promote marijuana use.

Regardless if you smoke or not, studies prove Marijuana is a safer alternative. As an adult everyone should be allowed to make their own choices without the government interfering.

Goverment just don't want to addmitt they have been wrong all this time.Bunch of bitches

It was the paper, nylon, gas corporations and the war mongers that thought they could executive order a ban of cannabis. When all the people are released from prison many companies will lose massive amounts of cheap labor. Follow the money trail...it always leads to a conscienceless, sinister white haired fat old man.

THATS 100% WHY

Who the fuck are you to tell me what I can or cannot put in my body?

Dude, cant you see how the government ( and other filthy rich slobs) is concerned about public health and safety by banning the evil marijuana that causes cancer,cardiovascular disease, hypertension, stroke, memory loss , lung fibrosis , COPD, liver cirrhosis ,addiction ( psychological and physical),harm to others and the list goes on and on and on. Tobacco and alcohol are safer alternatives that never harmed or killed anyone and actually are very healthy.

The man has a point alcohol is not only toxic to almost every organ but highly addictive as well ( Just like tobacco) Even a person with a single digit IQ would point out the hypocrisy. People should unite and the hell with prohibition.

[NoirArchon]

I feel like I can put whatever substance in my body that I please and that no government, or person(s) may tell me or force me to do otherwise. Of course, I would not use or consume any substance in a way that would interfere or endanger anyone else around me. Legalizing pot would (1) reduce drug crime (2) deal a huge blow to those damed mexican drug cartels (3) stimulate the US economy through production and taxing. Legal or not, people will always be able to buy and use illicit drugs anyway.

@LawrenceErnie I challenge anyone living in Portugal to come live in the USA for one year. I would love to know how much safer they felt living in a nation which criminalizes drugs as opposed to living in a nation without such laws.

That is, assuming that they would ever want to step foot in this hypocritical, backwards nation that endangers more lives than it protects.

@PhuckAllYouPeople Exactly. It's not the drugs that ruin lives; it's the policy we have in place.

Could you imagine losing your children or any hope for a sustainable future because you were caught with a carton of Camels?

Exile all Christians and bring sanity to a nation that has been without sanity since its founding (well, since its second founding).

England; please take these right-wing, Christian hypocrites back from whence they came. They are hindering progress.

CANNABIS DOES SEVERE DAMAGE TO YOUR LIFE.

Not from the drug of course, but because if your caught possessing it or cultivating it you can be put prison for years, be marked as a dangerous felon which stops you from getting good jobs, and they will slap huge fines on you for having it.

Kids futures are getting ruined over some stupid goddamn harmless plant thats less deleterious then caffeine.

Ex-Denver Police Lt. "I don't to homicides, assaults or car accidents because of marijuana." But yet he attributes his job to a legal substance, used by 80% of adults at least once a month

I majored in Psych 1st 3 years of college, went to a politically moderate school where people were mostly not GOP or Democrat. All psych professors said without argument that alcohol affects the brain in a terrible way, acting like poison that feels good. Affecting intelligence for days after even 3-4 drinks

Could you please elaborate more on this comment?
