Smoking a bowel in the morning - Would have prevented us from attacking the Wrong Country & saved over 3,026 American Troops.

Frank,,, The only dangerous problem with Pot & Driving is Rolling a Joint, it takes 2 hands

Education is paramount. We can all agree that inexperienced handling of sharp knives and swords is dangerous, but with enough education in handling blades, the danger is minimized. You can never eliminate the danger completely, and you sure can't stop someone (educated or uneducated) from doing something stupid and ending up losing a limb or becoming a Darwin Award recipient. The goal should not be to prohibit everyone from engaging in the perceived dangerous activity; it should be to minimize the danger. Instead, we have legislated the government to start playing the role of loco parentis. In our earnest efforts to make our families and communities more secure from perceived threats, we are ending up with a paternalistic government that is convinced its purpose is to save us from ourselves.

Free speech is great; helping people to understand the flaws in their thinking is great; trying to explain the "big picture" to a wallet-sized mind is futile.

Government should have no interest in what I choose to put in my body (in the privacy of my own home)...be it THC in the lungs, a plunger in the ********, a Big Mac in the stomach, or a bullet in the brain...And, yes, I am a Libertarian.

To marcpcbs_sux:
Marc, to remedy your mental defectiveness, you need to get EDUCATED...You get so fixated on the symptoms (social ills) you perceive and ascribe to pot, that you miss the point completely. Your ineptitude leads you to an incorrect diagnosis. Pot is not the problem you seek to solve.

You wanna keep kids from abusing drugs? Educate them. You can never stop the use, but you can curb harmful abuse through knowledge...not the reefer madness-esque "facts" you fear-monger with, but real, cold hard data. Now, the NIH and NIDA's hypothesis-based prejudice in selecting which MJ studies it will allow is a whole other matter, but the truth is out there. You just have to do some research.

I do not know hich I had rather confront on the highway at 70 mph an alcoholic with a 5th of gin or a drug addict with two or three joints in in lungs, both are equally dangerous I wish the Narcoits officers would raid and burn the establishments and jail each and all owners and those purchassing the sh== the federal law shall be the law of the land. the best of good days frank bowers

[marcpcbs_sux]

MJ responsible for JFK's death...lol, nice.

So, yes, I did just create this name, but after reading all the useless *** marcpcbs has posted on this article, I feel more than justified.

Why do you think your viewpoint is vastly outnumbered in these comments? Because we're all dealers looking to retain outstanding profit margins? No, the reason your viewpoint is so flawed as to actually be hindering the discussion is because you don't know what you're talking about. Also, it's hindered by the plethora of logical fallacies you toss together and call an argument.

I think the "pcbs" in "marcpcbs" may stand for Profers Complete Bull S**t...

Smoke a joint & go to jail -- Wage war in the wrong country for profit & get re-elected?????
Dysfunctional isn't it??

[zendigity]

At what point are people going to start noticing that the government's war on Marijuana has been waged in the same manner as the government's war on Iraq?

Create hysteria over a benign threat and it gives you the power to wage an endless war for a profit. Destroy and imprison under the guise of protecting the people.

Now, as we witness them take medicine from the meek and the sick and lock away those most concerned with helping them; one must ask.

How shall we define this word evil?

The stupid parents teach their kids to booze it up, fight with each other, neglect the kids, don't show the kids how to study correctly...In fact they don't show them anything much. They mostly yell at them. Then they come on the forums and preach the sanctity of Sunday church about the evil of this or that. Fifth grade curriculum in America is like 2nd grade in most other developed countries. We harbor morons who learn to *** and moan about evils of pot and booze themselves up on their lithium or prozac and go to their crappy job and neglect their children.

Hi JW.

[randalds]

Kids, kids, kids. How about you try parenting your kids so they don't do drugs? Or you can sit back and blame everyone else. The American Way it seems as of late. And this whole "crackdown bit" is just so guys like Ralph W. Partridge can get a fancy desk in DC after they're promoted. All of you lazy, bad parents should take your kids to an AIDS clinic, or cancer treatment center. You can see what it looks like for people to really be in pain, not the type of pain you get from the Rosie-Donald feud on the View as your kid buys crack. But hey, not your fault.

Well said. Too many people teach thier children hard attitudes one way or another without showing them that there are grey areas all around us. Take your kids to an AIDS clinic or a cancer one. Show them that stereotypes are bullsh*it. My stepson didn't ask to get AIDS and he needed pot to ease his suffering. Now he's dead (and has been for 15 years), but he'd like to know that others are allowed to be relieved of their suffering and not have to put up with the small mindedness of others. For some people "drug" is not a 4 letter word.
