No you don't get it. I don't have anything against pot, although I don't have much respect for people who place such a high importance on it.

I'm also generally against the governmnet regulating anything...only the bare minimum.

All I'm saying is that your arguments for legalizing it are illogical.

(and once again, it is very naive to think that your actions do not affect others. Everyone's actions and even their thoughts affect other people)

know1, I'm going to have to disagree with your sig again Why exactly is it illogical then? I'd love to hear this. Man you already lost this argument before it started.

So whe are going to admit it eh? lol

My argument is that people should never be allowed to smoke it in public....never....ever......under no circumstances in public.

Your health is no more important than mine. Second-hand pot smoke is a severe deterrant to my good health. Face it. Pot is not good for everyone.

Omg I think you need some meds from the sound of it. Are you one of those "you can't smoke ever!!! ...even if it outdoors" people? Oh my god get a grip already lady ...save yourself before it's just too late...

Nope..you can't. "Medical marijuana" is definitely about the "marijuana" and not about the "medical".

You can't tell me that you all who want it legalized would be happy with it being legal just for specific medicinal purposes. Also, you can't tell me that if there was another medicine that was just as good on the symptoms, but without the high that you'd use that instead.

There are actually many cases where marijana is the only thing that works compared to the other drugs.

I'm not a supporter of legalization for medicinal purposes only, I just think it's a plain silly law!

I support legalization to grow it for personal use.

Why should it be illegal? Anyone have an answer?

We, who want it legalized, just want all your support on this issue. We want other drugs out of peoples hands.

But to put Marijana in the same catagory as any other drug takes away from the impact of that important message.

If it would be allowed to be grown for personal use we all save tons of money. For the buyers/users and less prisons/jails and police time. We would also eliminate "the dealer" coming in contact with people, so exposure and access to bad drugs would be eliminated.

I find it amusing that people who have the least experience with drugs always talk like they know the most. Given their mindsets it does not surprise me.

Have any of these people looked at the effects of prohibition back in the 1920's? They prohibited the sale of alcohol. It created a huge underground network of alcohol selling mafia killers aka "The Mafia" that extorted the entire retail sector became so rediculously powerful it's ongoing legacy can be seen everywhere to this day.

What happened when they took the ban off liquor and legalized it? The gangs withered out.

If you could grow herb to get high at home, you wouldn't need to use coke or meth heroin etc..

I would also bet that new cases of heroin and crack use would go down. Take away the dealers.
The cops can;t do this ever. The people themselves have to eliminate the need for them if there is any chance of doing it.

Everyone that gets a harder drug, usually gets it from their weed dealer. That guy either sells crack and heroin, or he knows someone who does. If you're not there to buy weed from a dealer in the first place......get it?

It's a very misunderstood herb. It's was previously thought to be related to the mulberry/hacklberry plants, and more recently hops plant which is used in beer if anyone didn't know that. Cannabis is now placed in the Rosales family order:

Rosales include: roses; strawberries, blackberries and raspberries; apples and pears; plums, peaches and apricots; almonds; rowan and hawthorn; elms; figs; nettles; and hops and cannabis.

A short story on the medical side of this.....My dad suffers from cronic pain in his back. A bad fall 20 years ago that no amount of surgery and morphine can really take care of. Now the morphine pump was put in about 6 years ago, and the dose just keeps getting bigger after every visit to the Doc. To put in his words "Son. All this shit sucks. I feel the best when I can sit around a talk to my indina brothers" All that fancy medicine and a plain old smoke helps bring it all into focus for a bit.

That's a point I'll argue. Many other medicines that marijuana could be used as an alternative to give you a high. An example I'll use is morphine. Morphine, like marijuana can be used as a pain killer and they both give you a high of sorts. For some people, morphine and many other pain killing drugs can cause naseau and a variety of other side effects. It is also known to be a highly addictive substance. Marijuna can kill the same pain but without the side effects or the dependance.

It is not about legalizing it to replace other medicines, because other medicines are obviously already there. It's about an alternative to medicines. It's also a hell of a lot more natural for your body than most prescription drugs.

Man I'm on the legalize it front but that is not right. Some people have very serious smoke allergies and it's not all about how much smoke there is, it can be even just the smell. Like that kid everyone had in their class that couldn't even take the smell of peanut butter. It is important to the pot smoking population to be respectful of the non-smoking population because when respect is shown, respect is given.

You know that saying that if your kids's are allergic to peanut butter and jelly sanwiches...well, perhaps they just aint gonna make it ......(in a public school).

Wear a mask outdoors if you cant cope even to that level. How much car exhaust do you inhale walking down the street? It doesn't appear to bother the vast majority of seemingly normal people in this way? Not exercising can be the equivalent to smoking a half pack to a full pack of cigarettes per day. That scenario is progressive as well. If you are more unhealthy and you don't do cardio, the effects are amplified. Then there is diet ....Hoh-boy.

Outdoors is outdoors... It's like you're saying "hey you don't deserve to even breathe my air"...frankly......Shaadaap!! ....it's rediculous, you're just gonna paint yourself a hater...

are you gonna bitch at me because I light a campfire and drink beer too? Grr I'd have some hack, slash, and turn ya around quick shit ready in layers in person in that environment I shut down losers at teh boat launch all the time. there is an in and an out ramp. I come in on the out ramp when there is absolutely no lineup just to see if the guys is cool and get's his ride wet, or he bitches. I just retort back...ya dude there's no line...so big deal...take your pick. 99 percent of the time the guy just crumbles speechless dumbfounded. I often come in to dock up at specific times. I love smart people, it's the the dense stubborn that rub me like rubbing crushed glass onto the surface my brain.

I disagree, I know several people who suffer from Fibromyalgia(sp) and THC is the only drug that alleviates the issues for them without serious side effects, they've tried everything else.

It's also effective for glaucoma and other serious ailments. It dosen't have to be smoked, but our government won't allow any research on it at all.

Which is interesting, we can use all sorts of other hard narcotics to treat ailments in the hospital, but god forbid they work with THC. Because Oxycontin is just so appealing.
