Yeah......marijuana is God's gift to the world. How can anyone regulate something that I can grow in my backyard? Hey, I am a fine upstanding citizen...college educated, gainfully employed, debt free...who wants to deny me the right to smoke a bong or two in front of the TV while relaxing after a hard days work? Is there a difference in THAT and a couple of wine coolers? Alcohol kills people.....never seen anyone "die" of marijuana..."Oooo yeah Dr.......it was the weed that killed him!" Seen it many times from alcohol...quickly from alcohol poisoning....ya' just forget to breathe...or u choke on ur own vomit.....or slowly (quite ugly)....from esophogeal varicies....where the hard stuff just sorta' burns away the lining of your esophogus exposing veins and arteries which eventually explode and you vomit blood untill u finally bleed to death..seen people croak from it...seen people survive it a couple times....they shove a balloon down ur throat and inflate it to put pressure on the bleeding site...mmmmm, not too comfy...but they only do it again (addicted, ya' know)...and then there's cirrhosis, liver cancer....eww....you turn more orange than a cheese-doodle and fluid builds in your gut so ya' gotta go get tapped with a huge needle every now and then so u can breathe (puts pressure on the diaphragm)...anyway....dammit! I just wanna be able to smoke a little....I don't sell it, or grow it, or smoke it next to the kindergarten playground...I don't smoke it and then go to work, or drive,or perform brain surgery! Seems to me they have made the WRONG thing illegal! Luckily, the old fogey conservatives are slowly dying out...maybe things will change....the sooner the better....and this is my first blog...unstoned, so not too clever...bummer!

"....I don't sell it, or grow it, or smoke it next to the kindergarten playground..."

Because it is illegal, there is alot of "crime" that surrounds the sale of the stuff. The terrorism commercials are kind of an exaggeration but that kind of stuff does happen. Plus, simply because it's illegal there's alot of costs involved in enforcing that law coming out of the tax payers money.

You'd better serve the community if you DID grow it yourself, for yourself. I believe it's in Alaska that growing for self consumption is legal, not positive though. Granted if you live in an appartment building it might not be a wise idea, but if you happen to live on a couple of acres, you can find a way

Weed being illegal is definitely one of our dumber laws.

It all reeks of stinky- status quo politics....tiresome, illogical, and disappointing.

There are a lot of laws we don't agree with. You want to smoke weed. I don't like having to pay for other people to live on welfare. I'll happily vote in favor of people who live in houses (the stuff does stink and I wouldn't want to smell it so no apartments) in exchange for not having half my income taken and distributed out to other people.
