well fortunately your wrong, those people you knew were not victims of marijuana, there victims of there own lack of fiscal responsibility and self motivation. And no one has said that smoking marijuana helped there GPA but how can you say that its because they smoked that there GPA fell, if they were drinking too much or just being lazy then they are products of there own choice. So have all the successful people in this country that have and still use marijuana been lucky? I doubt that, i would think they were smart and responsible enough to stay below the radar and not do anything to put them in a position to hurt others or themselves. And so you can get belligerently drunk and beat your wife and kids and thats ok cause alcohol is legal, but if you smoke pot and relax in front of the tv after work you belong in jail with the real criminals? Obviously i dont think its ok to get wasted and beat your wife and kids but really, because i don't like destroying my body with tobacco and alcohol i deserve to be thrown in jail and locked away. Most of the people that have such problems with marijuana is because of ignorance and greed, but not in that order. Greed is from the Federal Gov't and BIG BUSINESS working together to trying to control our lives and ignorance because many people just believe what ever the gov't tells them even if its ridiculously absurd. Read about hemp and cannibus pre-1937 you will see that most of what you know is lies on top of lies.

well i must disagree with you because obviously you and i did not live through the time when this plant was never even seen as being anything but helpful. ive been doing lots of research on our founding and our history as a country. Im convinced that we are worse off without that plant in our lives. Not that i want everyone to get high, thats absurd. However you cant convince me that this plant has any sort of harmful properties to it, all the research ive found has shown that we were a healthier society when we were using this plant as the main ingredient in our #1 #2 #3 most widely used medications. As well as the fact that hemp seed oil has all the most essential amino acids that our bodies require to stay healthy. How can you say we are better off putting all this synthetic crap in our bodies, all these white pills do is destroy our livers. And in the 70's they found out that thc fights cancer. If thats the case why are people still dieing from cancer everyday? Because if the gov't lets hemp and cannibus be legal they will have a hell of a hard time taxing it because we can all grow it in our back yards, and if theres a cure for cancer then there is an immediate drop in Rx drug sales and then they lose there tax dollars. So even though we would make 100x the taxes on marijuana they still feel like wasting trillions of dollars a year to control a plant they obviously cant. where is the logic in that. please read this http://www.worldaudit.org/Hugh%20Downs%20re%20Hem...

so let me get this right, if you die because of indirect death because you were taking lets say an aspirin that kills more people directly and indirectly than marijuana directly or indirectly, so we should make aspirin illegal because it might (does kill 7600 people per year directly) kill a lot of people. Does that really make sense? Or that we have two of the top three killers in our convenience stores within access to children. Yeah they cant buy it legally but who really has a hard time getting alcohol or tobacco even though your underage. On your second point did you not read the link i put up on how Portugal decriminalized the use of all drugs and how across the board less youth were using and treatment centers went up in business because the stigma attached to this ridiculous fight kept people fearful. We are not fighting for marijuana to be as laxed as the laws are on tobacco, they need to be enforced just like alcohol. No working under the influence, and no driving under the influence. Are you really trying to say everyone is just going to get high all day and the country will stop moving. That is completely absurd, just because you enjoy a joint over a beer or liquor doesn't mean you cant be a productive part of society. And what about all the successful people that use and still find time to get to work and be productive, and not kill anyone, not rape or get std's. People need to be responsible for there actions, because you cant justify acting like a dumb ass while high or drunk. But why should the people that don't cause these problems be punished as criminals because they don't view the plant the same way you do. STATES RIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PEOPLES RIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! more important than what any Gov't bureaucrat has to say about things they don't even understand. And hemp( 0% thc) should be legal there is no reason why it still has the ridiculous stigma attached to it, and i believe the same way Glenn does we cant have full legalization till we make sure we are not taking care of lazy druggies on the tax payer dime. WE must be responsible for our own actions!

not at all, the gov't should not be able to control your life and tell you that " Go ahead smoke your cigarettes till you die of lung cancer, and you can drink yourself till you drown" That should be your own choice and your own responsibility to educate your family of the dangers of those two LEGAL KILLERS. And i believe that you can do the same on marijuana educate and regulate by the STATES not the feds, they fuck up everything that they touch. So the only way tobacco and alcohol should be illegal is if the people in there state want it illegal.

first off the so called pharmaceutical drugs kill more people per year, so the life threatening issue is not valid. also with Rx drugs we haven't had them in the system long enough to know the long term effects of dumping synthetic man made white powder drugs into our bodies. And your second point isn't valid either, because even thought the gov't has made marijuana illegal it still is the # 1 cash crop of America, and more are using this plant than any other substance on the market(BLACK MARKET). So we allow alcohol, Rx drugs, and tobacco to kill thousands of people a year yet are afraid that if marijuana was legal, taxed, and regulated that more people would use it over the latter. Annual Causes of Death in the United States Tobacco 435,000 Poor Diet and Physical Inactivity 365,000 Alcohol 85,000 Microbial Agents 75,000 Toxic Agents 55,000 Motor Vehicle Crashes 26,347 Adverse Reactions to Prescription Drugs 32,000 Suicide 30,622 Incidents Involving Firearms 29,000 Homicide 20,308 Sexual Behaviors 20,000 All Illicit Drug Use, Direct and Indirect 17,000 Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Such As Aspirin 7,600 Marijuana 0 try and fight those stats, or heres a challenge for you find one marijuana cause death in history that wasn't also attributed to other health issue I DARE YOU

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=... Portugal decriminalized drugs and they have had a very very positive result, less are using, more are going to treatment centers which is a result of them not being afraid of the gov't attacking them. All laws not designated to the fed gov't are directly left to the people and the states. And if that was the case then we can try legalization and or decriminalization or a few states and see how it works it doesnt have to be across the country. Thats why we were set up in 50 sovereign states so that we could mess up laws in some states then the others would learn from that state without having to fail at the same problem.

what is your point with this reply? are you attacking my reply on how its an individuals responsibility to govern there own lives, not yours, mine or the fed gov't. Because Pandabeads has it right, and there is no war on drugs there is a war on American citizens that wish to succeed or fail at there own whim.

well it actually sounds like the person you are speaking of is not responsible and has some addiction issues, if that person cant work because they would rather get high thats not the plants fault its the fault of the individual. Just like many alcoholics they would rather get plastered to forget than deal with there problems. So your argument doesn't stand here, you need hard evidence to convince me that the plant is controlling that person. And until then you should be a little more open minded and stop being so bias, you are part of the problem by blaming anything or anyone other than the person's own actions. Like yesterday with the Holocaust museum killer, is it the guns fault he killed that security officer? NO! Is it the Jews or African Americans fault? NO! Or maybe its the feds fault for trying to take his guns? NO! Its his fault for not being in control of his own actions, and his fault for killing an innocent person for sake of making racial and anti semitic controversy.

MYTH: Legalizing marijuana for medical use sends the wrong message to our children. Fact: Dangerous drugs such as morphine, tranquilizers, and pain medications are in common medical usage in spite of society’s wish that children not use them. Rx drugs are the most widely used and abused by children because they are usually not locked up and are within reach of children. The black market for Rx drugs has infected our youth and our schools. Fact: Children routinely see adults using substances that are forbidden to children, such as alcohol, tobacco, and prescription drugs. Fact: Children have not been protected from exposure and access to marijuana by its prohibition. It is still as easy to get marijuana as it was in the past, but now you have deal with a street drug dealer which is the gateway to harder drugs not the plant itself the black market creates the gateway. Plus the gateway theory is just that a theory it has no factual merits. The fact is they probably started by stealing there parents beer or liquor, then maybe they started smoking cigarettes and probably taken a Rx drug before they ever get to marijuana. So it sounds like if you have any issues with a plant that has yet to kill a person on this planet since 5000b.c. then you must be the guiding light in you childs life and not let the gov't tell them what is ok to do and what is not, because we are still to early in this Rx drug experiment to know the long term health problems our bodies will have, from these liver destroying white pills. p.s. most people have tried or still use marijuana and they have been successful in there own lives just like most of our founding fathers and im not about denounce a harmless drug that apparently our founders felt was essential part of our economy. And if they came up with this amazing structure of small gov't and people's law while using, cultivating, and trading marijuana then they must have been on the right track. And doesn't anyone want to know why out of the blue in 1937 the gov't just suddenly make this booming industry illegal, ive read the history its all about BIG BUSINESS and GOV'T CONTROL, just like whats happening today. And take this to heart the gov't will never allow a cheap if not free energy in this country it will take too much of there taxes from them.

thank you dan, i dont know why people just swallow whatever the WH tells them is true, its nonsense. I have the same stance on this issue as Mrs. Palin and one of the reasons i support her is because she is willing to look at the truth of the matter rather than the lies. She is the only one in the union smart enough to use the abundance of energy in Alaska to make the peoples lives better by taxing the oil and giving the residents checks. If i didnt hate being surrounded by snow i would move to alaska just to be a free, because the crap going on down here in the lower 48 is unjust in so many ways.

I'm no tree huger but if hemp was aloud to still be legal we would be running our cars on hemp biodiesal and filled with hemp oil(which has the best viscosity of any other oil on the planet, plus its biodegradable) made mostly from stronger than steel fiberglass style fenders and parts. Which all would address these crazy eco-nazi's issues with our current auto and industrial industries. We would clean up there air as well as make people safer and keep the planet from filling up with garbage. Most people don't know that our declaration of independence was made of hemp as well as our American flag, and most of our original moneys. In 1975 there was a study on thc, they found out that thc actually fought lung cancer as well as other cancers and reduced tumors by at least 50%, if thats the case why are there still people trying to find a cure for cancer when they have a plant that proves there is at least a naturally grown substance that helps the human body. Seeds of the plant cannabis sativa, hemp seed, contain all the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids necessary to maintain healthy human life. Which leads me to the health of us since we haven't used hemp, no other single plant source has the essential amino acids in such an easily digestible form, nor has the essential fatty acids in as perfect a ratio to meet human nutritional needs. I know most people will say im just trying to legalize pot so that i can sit on my ass all day and live off of everyone else. You could not be further from the truth, i do use cannibus and hemp on a daily basis but only in my home after ive got all my errands and work done for the day. Like most cannibus users we dont smoke all day and waste away into the couch, we get up go to work, be productive part of society and dont get crazy or anything of the sort. Honestly ive seen mush worse manerisms and tempers go off with alcoholics and tobacco smokers, both which are legal and both which have killed thousands of people a year. And to this day cannibus/ hemp has yet to kill any person on this planet, and if you dont believe me try and find a case where that was the sole purpose for the death of the individual. I dont know if you even care about this but Popular Mechanics wrote an article calling hemp/ cannibus being the #1 cash crop of America and that was in 1938, to this day despite intensive eradication efforts domestic marijuana production has increased ten fold over the last 25 years. And is still the #1 cash crop of America and pulls in about $35 billion dollars a year, un-taxed because the gov't thinks that wasting trillions of dollars a year to oppress a plant that still stands as the #1 cash crop is a good way to spend our tax dollars. Instead of tax and regulate, now all i want is an honest discussion from the ELITES in Washington with us people, no more lies just truth if it doesn't hurt us no reason for it being illegal. If it does cause people to go crazy and kill, rape and pillage then we should be able to talk about it and both sides could lay out there facts. The problem is they will never let that happen because there facts have no meret, and if they lose control then they lose power and does it really look like this administration wants to share power with us feeble minded citizens. Please be fair and open minded i will do as much on my end and hopefully we can have a respectful discussion about this growing issue.

I know this is going to be a hot subject that i will get alot of heat for but, please hear me out. Will the open minds of this website give me a chance to make the case that the recreational and industrial use of hemp/ cannibus have actually helped this country but most of us were not alive yet to know this fact. I would really appreciate it if the brainwashed anti-pot advocates please stop associating a cannibus user as being liberal/democrat/socialist. Also i do believe most of you do not condone or appreciate propaganda, POT/ Marijuana/ Devil's weed are all propaganda slang used to scare people from the truth. I have been researching alot of history lately, and found an interesting truth that cannibus and hemp have made the planet as well as the people of this planet better off. That was until the 1930's where the good ol' boy network, had ties with DuPont Chemical and Hearst Paper company. The owner of DuPont Chemical's brother was head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs and was on the path to lose 80% of his business if hemp was aloud to stay legal. So they started the media manipulation and pushed for the use of the term Marijuana that was a racial stereo type about Poncho Villa's promiscuous girl friend, that made the assumption that the use of Marijuana would cause white belle's of the south would become promiscuous. The gov't knew that the people would not accept hemp/ cannibus being illegal because no one had ever had any problems with that plant EVER!!!!!!! Until 1937 when they did not ask the people if they wanted it illegal they dictated it so that BIG OIL, BIG CHEMICAL, BIG PLASTIC, BIG LUMBER, BIG PAPER, and BIG pharmecutical could stay in business with no competition. Does that sound like the way America is supposed to work, HELL NO. If there really was a big issue with that plant then the people would have voted to make it illegal. So what is going on today is a push to re-legalize cannibus/ hemp because most level headed Americans know that hemp is not in any way a drug, it is a plant that can be made into 25,000 different products. And that was the case from the beginning of time till 1937. There was a time in this country were if you lived in Virginia and owned a farm you were forced to grow hemp and you could actually pay your taxes one time in this country with hemp. A plant that every president in the beginning of our country grew for industrial products as well as recreational use. So the idea of the use of this harmless plant(unless you buy into the Gov't propaganda) is actually closer to the ideas of a LIBERTARIAN, like most libertarians believe FREEDOM is more important than anything in the world. And you should be able to do what you wish when you want as long as your not taking the rights or FREEDOM away from others. Henry Ford's first Model-T was built to run on hemp gasoline and the CAR ITSELF WAS CONSTRUCTED FROM HEMP! On his large estate, Ford was photographed among his hemp fields. The car, 'grown from the soil,' had hemp plastic panels whose impact strength was 10 times stronger than steel; Popular Mechanics, 1941. "Why use up the forests which were centuries in the making and the mines which required ages to lay down, if we can get the equivalent of forest and mineral products in the annual growth of the hemp fields?" - Henry Ford. This ingenuous entrepreneur knew that there was a way to power this countries auto industry not by the gov't or foreign oil, but by the entrepreneurship of the AMERICAN dream to better my life as well as the lives of those around me, and to bring a quality product to the American people.

well were to start...........Stop listening to your tv, politicians, news papers and flat out LIARS. the reason most of you think that there is a Global Warming Crisis is because the tv, politicians, news papers and LIARS have been beating it into your head so that if someone puts real evidence in front of you, then you just right it off as a failed policy of the past. Well if you would do your home work then it would tell you that we have been in a Natural CYCLE ever since we began recording temperatures. And about every 12 to 15 years we have had variances in our global temperature. And mirroring that cycle we have a 12 to 15 years influx of SOLAR activity. You know that big burning ball of gas that, oh my look at that it heats our planet. And when there is lots of solar activity the Earths temperature seems to move up about a point, and down about a point when there is little or none. Oh and we have been in that decline of activity since about 1998, thats why the planet is not under water. The reason they say now that all the glaciers would melt is because if temperatures keep going up in speed they have then we will all surely fry, but about 30 years ago they had the exact opposite argument that the planet was going into another ice age. Oh and those arctic glaciers that seemed to just disappear, about 11%, yeah they showed up on the other side of the land mass at about 11% and growing. So the polar bears do have somewhere to go and they have been on the uprise of population as well. Basically you know how they always say don't trust the weather man cause he is just guessing cause he really doesn't know if its gonna rain or not. Well same idea except the people that are lying to you "AL GORE" who if cap and trade go through he will become the first GREEN billionaire. He and all the rest that want this Global Warming issue to become law, are all lined up to make billions and trillions of TAX dollars off of you. Pretty much this cap and trade will do nothing but line there pockets and raise your energy cost about $4000 a year. Also when you run outta the carbon credits then you have to go buy more from look at that The GOV't. And this cap and trade does nothing to help the environment at all it just TAXES you on the energy you use instead of eliminating the problem. If they really wanted to help the environment they would stop using fossil fuels and move to a plant based bio diesel and let the entrepreneurs make the vehicles and let the market decide how they come into production. But taxing our businesses and consumers into existence is not the way to move us to a new energy source, we need freedom to invent and grow. Not limitations that create bureaucracy and miles of red tape. A good way to do that is by letting AMERICANS build solar panels use that business to grow jobs then we can help the customers by letting them sell there own earned energy on there solar panels to the energy companies that way they are helping as well as using. And there should be no cap on how much energy some one wants to use, especially if its free from the sun. And if you let Americans be true to ourselves the great entrepreneurs that we are i bet we can put these to technologies together and revolutionize the passenger and commercial vehicle industry. Oh and just a side note Ford, a company that refused bailout money, just came out with there new Fusion/Hybrid that can gets up to 1000 miles to the tank, lets see one of those BAILOUT companies pull that off. Americans at work, doing what they do best, working for freedom and being entrepreneurs. please comment i wanna know if im way off or if i hit it on the head "Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence; he is just using his memory."

Mr. O comparded himself to Abe Lincoln, a president that knew if he stood up for what was right people would hate him and probably kill him. He did what was wildly unpopular but had to be done to give equal rights to ALL americans. That didnt mean welfare, universal health care, right to have a home, right to have a 60'' plasma tv, or the right to take from the rich to make the poor richer. True Gov't equality comes from none of you are entitled to anything and everyone has to work hard to better there lives. Its not life, liberty and the "promise of happiness"........ITs LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT of HAPPINESS. "You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves." -Abraham Lincoln-
