I will never ever stop. I love the way it makes me feel. It's way better than Alchohol or regular cigarettes. It also helps me to relax and handle the stresses of everyday life and it also helps to enhance my sex drive. Boy O Boy.... Gimme some more!!! I don't think the law is gonna win this one.

Big business doesn't have any investment in cannabis, the companies which control the stock in both lumber and oil also have the power to influence the lawmakers in our society. Money for those at the top far overpowers the wishes of those seeking positive change, for not just a select few, but for the betterment of the whole nation. I am a cannabis smoker, and i smoke it to replace the drugs that have once been prescribed to me; risperidone, xanax, kalonapin. Now look up the amount of people who have overdosed on these drugs and compare that to weed. Look at the number of people who abuse many different medications. I have never heard of a man smoking a joint, then coming home and beating his wife, yet thousands of women are abused by their drunk husbands daily. There are more potheads, people who smoke cannabis habitually, and are functioning members of society than any other legal and illegal "drug" . Its interesting how we have allowed drugs that carry with them the side affect of death, yet cannot legalize a plant which has the ability to operate in the same way these man made substances has. Long story short, money is the root of evil. Pot will never be legal because it will take money away from those who already have an immense amount. And unless we as a people make a stand for what we believe in, we will stay this way forever.

I watched a documentary on marijuana last night, and honestly, I laughed. If you read everyone's comments on this page, you will see that they have very insightful, well thought out reasons as to why it should be decriminalized. They have the hard facts, black and white, that we blow billions of dollars arresting normal people for possessing a plant that could eventually save our economy. Not only will it save us money in the judicial system, but it would also lower our gas problems (cannabis have methane in it, easily used for oil.) Hemp could take the place of cutting down those millions of trees we need and be used for paper and other products. Marijuana use would increase jobs in the market, decreasing unemployement, and just in general make this state a little more barrable to live in. Now, notice that even in this little comment box, I am able to come up with valid reasons as to why marijuana could potentially help our economy. And yet, when asked why marijuana should be kept illegal, the only answer I have ever heard from people's mouths were "It is a drug, it leads to dangers drug use and it is stupid." Really? Applause to you, wow. That is such a convincing agrument. It is SO stupid saving billions of dollars and creativing new jobs and new opportunities for citizens. I am pretty sure also, that Marijuana is a stage 1 drug, while COCAINE is a stage 2 drug.... so you are telling me that cocaine use could lead to marijuana use? GOOD! Maybe those who are blown out coke heads will smoke and realize they do not need that dirty crap and could get by in life just smoking a plant. a PLANT! Even religious people cannot fight the fact that this is nature, it is grown from our own earth and was put here by God for a reason! Why not find out what that reason is!? People should not be thrown into prison with rapists and killers for carrying around and smoking a plant. It would be silly for someone to get arrested for carrying around dandelions wouldn't it? What makes marijuana any different? Support decriminalization! Let's see what this plant has to offer us!
