Cigarettes have something like 300 chemicals in them that's where the cancer causing agents come from not the tar, marijuana has like 3 THC, Chlorophyll(planet matter), and actually that's all I can think of so I guess it's just 2. Anyway I'd choose marijuana any day over something that has cyanide in it to give it flavor wouldn't you?


complete bullshit. Cannabis has hundreds of cannabinoids/chemicals in it.

Cannabis has more tar than tobacco--but the cancer is caused by radioactive elements which tobacco concentrates in it's leaves--cannabis does not.

Bullshit is the correct call.

There is no evidence use would go up with legalization and, yes I would like for use to increase. Cannabis is good for your body and mind.
Also from what I understand while alcohol is in use today it was much more of a problem during prohibition.


Ya, the "more use" argument is a faux argument. You can't make the same argument for, say, baked turkeys. "If we legalize baked turkeys consumption might go up!" The logical response to this is...so what. Even IF mary jane was harmful, we are allowed to harm ourselves in other ways, like not exercising or eating to many calories. This has everything to do with enforcing a moral direction, much like all social laws, be in welfare or gay marriage; someone trying to force his version of "good" into law.

Bath Salts: make you crazy - Legal
Cannabis: makes you sleepy - Illegal

Yay War on Drugs! We're winning! Just like in Afghanistan!

It's not actually legal, they are in violation of the Federal Analog Act. The whole bath salts euphemism is an attempt to get away with breaking the law, but there's no real doubt they're breaking it.
But yeah, it makes all the enforcement efforts against pot seem even more ridiculous and heavy handed when untested designer drugs are an actual danger to the public.


Wow...that's a pretty scary act. I just love it when the idiots in Congress try to legislate stuff that doesn't exist yet. It's guaranteed to produce a trainwreck of generalities and vagaries. I'm amazed this hasn't yet been found unconstitutional yet.

Wait....the voice over guy states that cannabis has negative health side effects....but doesnt say what they are..??


My thoughts exactly. Maybe he's talking about the negative aspects of inhaling a burnt substance? That is easily bypassed. The only other negative side affect I know of is the altered mental state, which is only a negative if you don't want it. Maybe also "the munchies".

It's all a fraud, but a voluntary one. The CSA is unscientific and doesn't abide by its own classifications... but has been adopted by the States, who now don't question it.

Since 2003, the US Govt, through the DHHS, owns a patent on Cannabidiol - a main ingredient in the cannabis plant and component of the smoke from combustion of the plant -- thus invalidating the claim against medicinal value. Patent Number 6630507. So why is it illegal? Guess who is in charge of authorizing the studies?

You will have to look it up, because for all intents and purposes it is actually the DEA who sets AND enforces drug policy in our country. (of course, they swear they are just followin the orders which come right from our citizens! they are doin the good work by keepin us from getting free medicine. don't you remember asking them to ruin your life just for fun?)

The current DEA director LYINGHEART actively blocks all attempts at scientific discourse regarding marijuana, yet screams the sky is falling because of synthetic cannabinoids that have been available for over a decade, proving that the DEA is up its own ass, at least partially enough to block hearing and sight. They can still smell pot smoke though.


Marijuana is not a drug. The plant isnt a drug. The chemicals inside it are... and they have medicinal value. So why make the plant illegal? Because its free. Number one, period.

prescription pain killer abuse is at an all time high and rising with the population... so one has to question the motivations of people who keep a free effective drug illegal. The most therapeutically safe substance known to man is classified with Heroin in terms of impact on health and society. That alone should be a warning flag to any thinking citizen.

Sickening, yet the only logical conclusion in light of all the facts.

I smoked a bunch of cannabis flowers and then the munchies hit me
REALLY HARD !

I ate so much food my belly hurt and needed to express that fact. With the bikini I really liked the way the female V was portrayed, the chalice or whatnot. I was watching that Angels and Demons the other day.

I have a way to get around Obama's objection about ending the drug wars. He said that if we legalize it in the USA drug cartels would take over other countries. They would--if we just open the borders.
Instead completely legalize it, with a provision to not allow foreign imports for 10 years. This would give the US time to stabilize our cannabis economy and cut the legs out from under the cartels. When we can grow our own, or simply buy it, there will be no more cannabis crossing the borders.


Similar to my thoughts on the matter, but with an addition of a 10 year dis-allowance for foreign imports. I hadn't considered that.

Now that i have, i think it's a great idea on the basis that as you stated would give time for the internal stabilization to occur as well as giving a decent amount of time to stably wind down the amount of resources that is currently dedicated to fighting it internally, and redirect their attention to resisting external imports during the 10 year dis-allowance while the dedicated forces are realigned into alternative programs, or if necessary/reasonable, largely cut.
