I’ve smoked since my early 20s when I was at university studying electronic engineering nearly 20 years ago. I got my degree and have been smoking ever since, generally after work to relax, or when I spend time with friends who also smoke grass, or before I play the guitar. There’s a misconception in the public eye about smokers being a bunch of braindead layabouts. On the contrary, I’ve lived in a number of countries, including in South Africa where grass is so cheap it’s practically free compared to Europe or the US, but the homeless are always alcoholics, even in South Africa. Grass makes you think, alcohols switches the brain off. I smoke after work not to switch my brain off, but rather because after a full day’s work it’s the only thing that can give me the concentration to read, play music, etc. But because it’s illegal I’ve been forced to break the law many times in various countries to buy it, and I count myself lucky that I’ve never been busted in all that time (touch wood!).

WHEN I MEDICATE (USING MY OWN HOME GROWN) IT OPENS UP MY MIND AND HEART. I THINK THINK AND THINK ABOUT HOW BEAUTIFUL AND HARMONIOUS GODS CREATION IS AND HOW (TRULY)SAD IT IS THAT THE MAJORITY HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED(BY UNCLETOM HIMSELF) TO BELIEVE THAT IT CAUSES “MADNESS”. I PONDER THIS SO MUCH IT MAKES ME GO OUT TO FIND THE ENLIGHTENED AND SHARE A HEAVENLY SMOKE WITH THEM(STRANGER). IVE EVEN GIVEN AN OUNCE TO AN ENLIGHTENED STRANGER(JUST HARVESTED A WEEK PRIOR AND FINISHED DRYING THAT SAME DAY[BLUE WIDOW]) WHOM I SMOKED WITH CAUSE THEIR OUTLOOK ON HERB MADE ME A BETTER PERSON. THE SELLING OF THIS BEAUTIFUL HERB AS A COMMERCIAL PRODUCT IS TRULY DIGUSTING.I PROMISE TO ALL THOSE WHO GROW LARGE SCALE OR NOT GIVING AND SHARING HERB MAKES TRUE LIFE LONG FRIENDS.I PROMISE. WILL BE GIVING HERB ON THE NEXT HARVEST.ITS ALMOST A PASSIONATE HABIT WHEN I SMOKE. PEACE.

God said it is good. He made the stuff Himself. Who am I to disagree? I say legalize the stuff already.

It helps me with my anxiety, lack of appetite, to maintain my weight, insomnia, hormonal balance and PMS symptoms. MUCH safer than prescription drugs for these things, ya know?

I had a problem with herion and ciggaretts for 10 years.I just celibrated my 1 year away from heroin and 1 month away from cigs.
I have also illiminated all prescription drugs.
I have one problem the only thing that helps me with my laundry list of conditions and diagnosis is mary jane.Unfortunately it is illigal in my state.
I had a little girl a year ago and tried to stop everything all at one time and i almost died.

I did not smoke as a Long haired youngster, I did however start smoking that wonderful herb at 19 or 20.
When things are tough and this rat race we are all part becomes to real to threatoning, be it bills or the (NICE) people we find ourselves working for; I like to smoke marijuana, whats wrong with a little laughter and relaxation anyways?
I have to live in fear as I work for a company that randomly tests for marijuana and the fear that an officer of the law will take me from my home and favorite pass-time.
I as so many of us do know people from all walks of life that partake in this wonderful ritual of smoking and sharing in life, love and conversation.
I have been around other drugs and seen bad things but as a 51 year old expert I can say beond a doubt that no one has ever said to me “oh man I smoked last night and what a bad trip I had”; This just does not happen.
I would love to see this country move forward as legilization would stop the problem i’m having now stopping a 16 year old from smoking.
I had to call an ambulance once because a friend of mine was having an asthma attack; I told the ambulance driver she had been smoking pot and drinking; the ambulance driver said to me “She should have stuck to the smoking”.
I have many life experiances, such as when I went to my cousins wedding and to my surprise all of them were smoking.
I know a Colonel, Polices Officers, IRS personel, Business Owners heck you name it.
I had a person who worked for me that was named employee of the month; everybody was proud of her; she could do no wrong; then they randomly tested this wonderful young lady; she did not wish to change her lifestyle so her picture went away and this great employee was just a memory.
There are many Americans being stifled by laws preventing them from taking better jobs because some companies test and some do not; many Americans take these jobs to keep the freedom to smoke Marijuana when in their homes.
I know that if what I like to do in my own home that relaxs me was legal, I would feel better about my country; why should I be subjected to persicution for smoking a joint sitting back and watching my tv in the evening.
From my experiance if people who smoked or did not care if others do spoke up, the laws would change and less stress related problems would exist in America; and less children would be on drugs.
