Honestly I think that we should just allow Vegas to have coffee shops. That town is already dirty and most everything is available there anyways.

MS04, Tylenol, ASA, and many other drugs have medicinal value. Using them to address a medical problem is quite a bit different than using a drug for recreation.

Smoking dope before commenting decreases your ability to form a rational thought.

I’m sorry but is calling somebody a drug user supposed to mean something? Have you ever used morphine, tylenol, aspirin etc.? Feeling good about yourself because your drugs get the smiley face rating from the government and pot users get a frowny face is hypocritical and it decreases your ability to debate.

Yeah
I smoke pot and it helps me read. I have ADD and it is really hard to concentrate for long periods of time. When i smoke marijuana my brain slows down, the time around me slows down and it helps me get sh!t done.
Oh and i am an astrophysics major and i don’t spend my time reading pot magazines (dumba$$)
I started drinking in high school and i know how dangerous high school students can be when they are allowed to misuse drugs. If it is legalized, it should be enforced the same way as Alcohol. (although i dont think they have anything in common. one causes you to forget pieces of time and another distorts your ability to register time) The dangerous problem about legal marijuana is the same problem with underage drinking and driving under the influence. There needs to be much more sever penalties for people breaking these laws. I personally would completely recall a driver’s license if they are caught under the influence and they should have to retake their drivers test to get it back. And underage DUIs should have to wait 2 years after their DUI to get it renewed.

Marijuana is good for the economy, good for creative though, good for the crime rate, good for international relations and isnt that detrimental to your health. If it is to be legalized, (i dont think it will be until the second term) and controlled responsibly, i think the world image of America will change and we are in desperate need of a makeover in the eyes of the world. No one in the world has any beef with The Netherlands and they dont have any beef with anyone else. I think it because a good portion of the country is happy with life. (thanks to a little plant)

And for the last time
insulting liberals is a dirty conservative tactic that has been over used for the past 50 years.
And liberals calling conservatives “seal-clubbers” is the same thing
stop the name calling and actually think about the target problem instead of throwing cow pies at each other

I know there are intelligent debates from both sides but conservatives and liberals alike spend too much damn time calling each other names to actually say anything important

oh and by the way it is highly hypocritical of the governement and the FDA to pass so many other harmful ‘anti psychotics’ that can very well leave you worse than when you started. Legalizing all these drugs that are highly addictive, cigs,alcohol,xanax,morphine,the oxys,valium.
Essentially what the government is saying is that Marijuana is worse than all these?? Don’t make me laugh. These so called scientist and doctors that have been running these test say whatever the pharmaceutical companies want them to say and as a reward they get some of the profits. WHERE THERE ARE HUMAN BEINGS THERE IS CORRUPTION. Especially if these human beings are in power. You can’t blindly accept everything you read and are taught, ,like i said every1 has an agenda.

There is a movie you can watch on youtube called The Union: the business behind getting high,there are also various videos on the topic of how marijuana got to be classified as a schedule I substance. A doctor at the University of Colorado says that MJ is very beneficial to the body and many doctors and scientist have reason to believe that marijuana helps with a wide variety of illnesses including cancer.
a friend, too was very skeptical being an RN(registered nurse) but after watching these videos and testiomonials of doctors and patients she began to see what has really been going on. I suggest that we all educate ourselves on the subject and also ask ourselves, why would the government lie? why is it illegal? how long has it been illegal?
It is also said by scientists and doctors that marijuana is harmless and that cigs and alcohol are much worse.Everyone has an agenda to support, but someone has to be right. And there so much information for both sides is it harmful and killing brainless? Is it harmless and beneficial? Only one side will be able to prove their side without using smoke and mirrors.

Im all for the the legalization of marijuana or at least decriminalized in all states. Yes marijuana is a gateway drug, i’ve never moved on to heavier drugs ever! But alcohol is just as much as a gateway drug so your being hypocritical

Well, my information comes from training, my license, my job and the physicians I work with including some at the CDC as well as those who are substance abuse counselors.

I did not get my information from the guy who sells bongs at the head shop or from a stoner website so maybe it disagrees with what you are used to seeing.

I just wanted to say that Big Dog, I am sure that you are a very intelligent person. But on this subject you are putting out a lot of wrong information. Please do some more research and correct yourself.
