Answer 1

yes by du-pont and the tobacco companies worked very hard to bribe the US government and fund a propaganda campign against my good friend Mary ,

The sad thing is that currently millionsof dollars are poured into marijuana law enforcement round the world money which could be much better spent , Futher to this marijuana is one of the most effective natural pain killers available well apart from opium anyway ,

Most of the so called side effects of marijuana can noty be proven and those negative results that the media so quickly publish are rarely ever replicated in secondary testing , hence the majority of the so called side effects are based on ignornat speculation , influenced by government propaganda ,

Further to this 100s or even thousands of people are put in jail each year for the growing of a plant , a plant which was put on our earth by God , who are these politicains to judge God ,

but yet the government keeps it on the black market so crime syndacites and bikey gangs can use it to make money , wouldn't these funds be better off in the governments hands not to mention the pricing would be much fairer rather then buying from some rip off crim. Also if sold a pharmacy would be subject to FDA regulation so no poisons or other things lacing it

yes it causes mental probl;ems but only if your a head case to begin with marijuana increases reacation to mental issues but so does alcohol and many other medication bout time you all woke up I think

Contrary to what others have said above, the laws against marijuana were not the result of a conspiracy by DuPont and the tobacco companies.

Marijuana was outlawed for two primary reasons. The first was racial prejudice against mexican immigrants. The second was the fear that heroin addiction would lead to the use of marijuana -- exactly the opposite of the modern gateway myth.

You can find a discussion of why marijuana was outlawed at http://druglibrary.org/schaffer/Library/mj_outlawed.htm It contains links to source documents.

You can find a discussion of the idea that the Duponts did it at http://druglibrary.org/schaffer/Library/hemp_conspiracy.htm

You can find a history of how the gateway myth arose at http://druglibrary.org/schaffer/library/gateway_myth.htm

Every major study of the drug laws in the last 100 years has said that the marijuana laws were based on ignorance and nonsense. They all said marijuana should be legalized. You can find the full text of those studies at http://druglibrary.org/schaffer under Major Studies of Drugs and Drug Policy.

There has never been a major government commission report that reached a different conclusion. If someone says that marijuana should remain illegal then it is proof positive that they have never read any of the most basic research on the subject.

Yes we should legalise Marijuana and all other drugs as well.

While I do not recommend that anyone use drugs, the 'war on drugs' is a failure. Our government is in cahoots with the drug dealers for the huge profits to be made. Our government profits with its political posturing and the diversion of tax dollars into maintaing the 'war' creates an over-inflated police state. But the drugs are still out there for anyone to buy.

Wen we create an underground economy where the principles carry weapons and shoot each other and our police everyone is at risk not just the drug users and dealers.

If we legalise all drugs we can ensure that the drugs people choose to use are safer (street drugs often have lethal impurities or have an unexpectedly lethal potency). We can cut down on the crime related to drug addicts maintaining their habits by robbery and con games. We can reduce the violence related to drugs because we will not have dealers or gangs fighting one another in our streets over territory because they will all have been disenfranchised and put out of business.

The volume of business represented by juveniles will be too small to keep the underground markets for drugs open to them and our children will be safer. This means the adults they become will be less inclined to abuse drugs.

With less cash flowing into law enforcement to fight the war on drugs more money will be available for education and treatment programs. All around I think it is a winning proposition.

Drugs are now used as a means of holding people down. The rate of conviction for drug use and sales per capita when broken down by race and ethnicity shows that it is highest among minorities because the majority of enforcement is directed into minority communities, so the prosecution for drug related crimes as a means of crippling minority cultures will no longer be an issue holding them back.

Penultimately, and this may sound harsh, people who choose drugs may actually deserve what happens to them. It is a free choice they make to destroy their lives. At least they will take fewer of the rest of us down with them in the process.

Utimately we need to better educate everyone not only to the dangers of drug abuse but also about the motivations for drug abuse. Many of the people who turn to drugs are in so much pain and anxiety in their lives that they are desperate for any means to escape from the conflicts and turmoils that torment them. We will be better able to identify these needy people and get them real effective help to intervene in their lives sooner and offer them the opportunity to heal their pain and create happier healthier lives for themselves where any need to self medicate has been resolved through self empowerment, growth and spiritual development.

Answer 4

i'm sick and bored with the human beings who say, "What message does this deliver to our little ones?" I say to you.......... What message does alcohol which kills thousands of human beings deliver? What message does nicotine from tobacco deliver to little ones? close up with this our little ones bull ****. That line is continually used at the same time as someone needs to limit some element from to blame adults. Marijuana treatments maximum cancers , makes human beings non violent, and is medicinal for various of alternative diseases. that's the authentic message . besides the indisputable fact that, little ones might want to not smoke marijuana anymore than they drink booze. Wait until eventually they attain man or woman age.

Answer 5

I think so. Research shows that marijuana is LESS impairing than alcohol, and contains no physically addictive properties, such as nicotine. Marijuana would be taxed, which would be a boost to the economy. I see no logical or strong reason NOT to.

Answer 6

I think there are much worse drugs out there like crack and meth that if these people could get pot i think they would be better off, they should legalize it.

Answer 7

Instead of excaping with drugs and alcohol, it is better to be a real person who faces life realistically.

Answer 8

it should be legal i agree, but for the gov its a tax issue

Answer 9

like check into rehab okay?

Answer 10

Yes.....!!!!!!
