SANCTUARY STATE OF CALIFORNIA! Why do you think this state has a $40 + billion dollar budget deficit? Because the Mayors of San Francisco and Los Angeles are pandering in government benefits to 3.7 million illegal aliens? Nothing is going to change until Californians demand the Federal E-Verify mandate. To long Taxpayers have been crippled by paying for free health care, education and a overloaded prison system. Governors Email: http://gov.ca.gov/interact or Phone: 916-445-2841 California State Legislature: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/yourleg.html Vote for WALTER MOORE as MAYOR FOR LOS ANGELES, as he against ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION and will KILL Special Order 40 and allow police to question a persons immigration status. WE THE PEOPLE, must decide our future? We can only blame ourselves if we sit and do NOTHING?

I'm 60 yrs old & have been smoking herb since I turned 19 yrs old. That's quite a long time. And as for being addicted to it . I'm not at all addicted. I have never used it at a work place or during work. I have never used it while driving.I have only used it as a relaxing
moment after a hard day of labor. It helps me to go to sleep at knght. I have cancer ( not affiliated with smoking ) but from asbestos. It keeps me calm and not stressed out .And out of 41 yrs of use My lungs are as pink as a new baby's lungs. I have never missed a day of work because of smoking it. I have only applied for unemployment one time in my life. I have quit smoking it 3 times for over 4 yrs at a time. So all you educated people who know so much about this herb. It's not a drug.It's a great herb that all should try once in life.

I believe many people really do not have a full understanding or even the slightest clue as to what "pot heads" or whatever you want to call us beliefs lie. It seems for the most part every one has their own preconceived notions that will only hold ground to their beliefs. If you would like to really know where our stance lies on the topic of legalization it can be found at norml.org. Set aside from norml, I believe many individuals are not addicted to marijuana. They may find a void in their life, concision or unconscious decision and seek refuge. Marijuana appears to have become a fast track. This may incline a person to seek a further absence from society (leading to harder drugs) but to claim that marijuana is the solo or main reason is profound. These cases do not start with the drug but with the individual in itself. And it would not surprise me if in these cases that one of the parental figures is absent or better yet incarcerated. Is it within reason that one of the parental figures is incarcerated for marijuana charges? Surely, but is that the majority? Far from it but without a doubt our prison system is loaded with petite marijuana offenders. Thanks to our tax payers and an over crowed prison system, our governments' priorities do not lie with the future but with the current containment of drug offenders. We will continue to go in circles until the bigger question is answered. How do we improve our standards and way of life so these individuals in the first place are not trying to escape? By putting all sights and aims on marijuana has proved little progress. Our way of life in the United States is at a teetering point; it must be answered. In my opinion the reason the United States is such a great place to live in is that we can be so effective when we put our heads together that we can truly produce something amazing. But for execution and follow through it is all for shit. Charlie Wilson said it best after our use for the Middle East was consumed, “We fucked it up.” And now we wonder why tensions are so high. Poor leadership yields poor outcome. And it will continue and continue because the one thing that resigns above all: Everyone holds their own preconceived notations that will only hold ground to their beliefs. You have your mind made up; I tend to keep mine open and as cliché as it may sound, smoking pot helps. Hope you enjoyed ;)

Has anyone noticed that in Europe where drinking is not mystified like it is here in the US that they have a lower rate of alcoholism? The same stands true for smoking pot in Amsterdam. In the US we have made certain things such as marijuana (among other drugs) and alcohol more appealing by restricting them. Children think they are being cool by experimenting with these items at a young age because there is a mystery to them. The younger the children start using these substances, the more likely they are to have problems with the substances or try other drugs later in life. Why not take away the appeal and decrease the number of addicts in the next generation? Besides some very dangerous substances are perfectly legal in the US. We have generations of pill poppers and alcoholics and no one has restricted those items.

I see a lot of people on here just saying how pot is a gateway drug and it makes people like zombies and you cant hold a job. I have heard all this before when I smoked when I was in college. about 80% of the kids in college smoke occasionally or all the time. I personally smoked every day and I held a job for years while I went to school. I also went to school full time and got good grades and so did 90% of my other friend who smoked every day. the only reason i quit is because I needed a job after i graduated. After smoking every day i quit cold turkey and have never smoked since. i don't crave it or anything. I would never smoke and risk loosing my job. All of my other friends i have kept in touch with have done the same. All the people who sit there and talk about how bad it is are always the people who never smoked all the time. the first week or so of smoking does make you a zombie but after the first week your fully functional. as far as them making it legal It could be done they would just have to regulate the driving by making a limit and finding away to test it. How is smoking any different than drinking if its done in moderation. 98% of Americans illegally drive drunk at one point in time and take that risk im sure it would be the same with pot but the penalty would have be just as strict as dwi.

I believe that it should be legalized through the United States, It would make money for all states and help with the budgets for all when they let out the people in jail for pot crimes, I use to like to smoke to help me sleep at night, my husband had to give it up because of drug testing at his jobs , now he is an alcoholic, because he had to change his drug of choice so that we would not lose everything if he failed a drug test. My husband is a better person when he is high compared to when he is drunk, he never got mean when he smoked and he was very creative and got a lot done , now that he is a drunk he does not get as creative and his mood swings are bad, he is a functioning alcoholic , I wish he could go back to pot he was a way better person. I quit smoking pot a long time ago because it was illegal and when we smoked we became paranoid about getting caught. It could so help the economy people that have lost there jobs could open up smoke shops , and the tax money ,and the easing on the justice system , and the change for the police it could be a very good thing for us. As stated in another post I have never seen anyone steal for pot,become violent while smoking pot and it I wish that my father would have tried it while he was dying from cancer but no he could not because it was illegal and he and my mother had that preconcieved notion that it would make him flip out.

What I haven't seen is an argument for the legalization of marijuana for its industrial usage as hemp. Hemp has so many uses that it alone would solve a good many financial problems of farmers, energy folks, oil folks etc. Of course, there is the old hackneyed thought that pot farmers will grow their plants amongst the hemp. Well, as a former farmer, I'll guarantee you that no pot farmer will grow their plants in hemp stands. Ask anybody conversant with genes and they'll tell you why not. Hemp seeds are nutritious, they have just about as much protein as peanuts. The fibers from the stalks can be used as biomass fuel, woven into clothes the list goes on and on. The polymers from hemp can be used to make car bodies (Henry Ford did this in 1938 for Christ sakes, why don't we do it now?). Oh, and if one were to smoke hemp, the buzz would be more like smoke inhalation as there is less THC in hemp then there is alcohol in near beer. Also, who the hell is the government, who subsidizes the booze industry, to tell anybody they can't smoke pot?

Hey ya'll !!!! Read up! See Jack Herer's classic:
THE EMPEROR WEARS NO CLOTHES: THE AUTHORATATIVE HISTORICAL RECORD OF CANNABIS AND THE CONSPIRACY AGAINST MARIJUANA.
The (paperback) has been around for about 20 years, is very interesting, and gives the low-down on how mj became illegal in the first place.
Also, check out: DRCnet.org, MPP - Marijuana Policy Project, FAMM - Families Against Manditory Minimums, DPF - Drug Policy Foundation, and NORML = National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws; all organizations working to either decriminalize or at least lessen the harshness of our draconian penalties against drug use.
If every smoker sent in $5 to these organizations, they'd have a heckuva lot more money to work against the machine.
Peace, VW
