Its because of the fact that its active compounds arn't "toxic".You can't "overdose" on cannabis...you would pass out before you could light another joint.

It gets lumped in unfairly with deadly substances that physically destroy lives.

And I will agree with that as legit reasoning. It is absurd to cram something harmless into a category with hazardous drugs. But at the same time what it isn't shouldn't detract from what it is, is all I'm saying.

Same as prostitution, marijuana needs to be legalized. I don't get what the big deal is.

Regulate it, tax it, control it, inspect it. It's time to start making money off of it in stead of spending tons of tax payer dollars on trying to uphold unfounded legislation.

I'm with my bro...legalize it already...or not, it could get really expensive then...i like my cheap sacks, and well honestly (being a weed user/buyer) i dont want to give the government any more money than i have to..maybe they could donate the pot money to make a cure for cancer or something , but still they dont need any more of our money especially because they want to control our marijuana smoking habits...ya know :confused:

Yea legalizing it will either decrease quality or raise price. But Americas priorites are way too messed up to do anything about it.




Thanks Bush...............

Oh by the way check this out type: Failure in the google search and then hit the im feeling lucky button.

> Drugs are dumb.

Actually, that's what people usually say when they've never tried them and are usually just repeating what the government and their parents hammer into them. (ie, "drugs are harmful and are a gateway to heavier drugs blah blah")

Maybe they're not for everybody but personally, as far as pot goes... I don't even consider it a drug. It's on the same level as drinking wine with a meal or having a couple of beers. In fact, I think if pot was the drug of choice instead of alcohol, we'd have a lot less violence and deaths happening both in driving accidents and fights at parties etc..

Whenever we used to sit around and smoke up, we'd spend time talking about life and listening to music. Or go out and find cool adventures just to experience doing something while you were high.
With alcohol, everybody gets hammered. Most guys get so bad they can't walk or talk.
They get into fights and parties get loud and wild. Then the next day they puke their guts out.

Yet alcohol is legal and accepted by everybody, and pot is illegal and stick you with a criminal record for the rest of your life.

Don't get me wrong. I'm totally against heroin and hard drugs that destroy your body and make you dependent on them.
But making softer drugs like pot illegal is just plain stupid.
Not to mention the advantages we'd have if hemp could be put into production in paper making and other industrial uses instead of destroying the forests.

Right now, I'd love to be able to go to the local corner hemp store and buy myself a dime bag of some good pot.
Instead, I'm either stuck here drinking beer, or driving to the city and risking my life and limb trying to buy pot illegally on the streets from gang members.

And as far as drugs like pot affecting your memory or destroying your brain... hey...ain't nothin wrong with my mind, and I've been smoking since I was 15.

And now the obligatory legal notice:
I'm neither advocating or recommending drug use for anyone reading this.
These are simply my own opinions and in no way shape or form do I suggest anyone, especially minors, participate in using illegal drug use.
(even having to write that is stupid)

As much as I like making jabs at the presidents, let alone when we have a particularly easy target like Bush, this was something that was screwed up long before he showed up. Sure he adds to it, but he's also the president. What's he supposed to do? Say "Go Drugs" or something?

I like marijuana. I just don't see what's wrong with me toking up and watching some Cartoon Network or jamming out my axe. I don't bother anybody. I'm kinda lazy but honestly that really has nothing to do with weed. I was lazy during the three years I didn't smoke. I'm actually very smart. Anything I put my mind to I can work out. The same should go for any healthy and rational human being. There is nothing wrong with pot.

yea, im a big fan haha, i just don't understand the difference in point of views for people between cigerettes, alcohol, and pot. i mean alcohol seems worse in some senses such as many people are violent drunks and leaves you with a hangover. The most pot does is make you eat more food and if you do it like everyday itll hurt your lungs, But if you do anything everyday its bound to hurt you.

Don't say "No To Drugs"
Say "No, Thank You" It's more polite. :cool:

I wish guys like Bush would stop lumping all drugs into one catagory.
What about prescription medications?

And how come Caffeine is an accepted drug? It's an upper that millions of people use to get high in the morning.

Let's not forget alcohol poisoning. It has kiiled many a person. However, there's not one case of a person dying from smoking pot, ever. Pot helps folks ease pain from arthritis and many other medical problems, mental problems or whatever you got. Smoke a fatty and you'll feel better! :D

That reminds me. Has anyone seen the guy on celebrity fit club that is all funked up on prescription meds? I can't think of his name right now dammit but this guy almost died the other night from taking too many pain killers and then topping them off with some alcohol. Nice combo, idiot! I'm sure this guy won't have any problems getting more pain killers if he wants them either. :rolleyes:

That thing about caffeine is true too. Let's not forget cigaretts either. It's straight poison and the government allows it to be sold. I know, I know, I smoke but it still doesn't make it right. If they would just make them illigeal then I would have to quit. :rolleyes:
