		<description>Hell yea california thats why im glad im from there! and hell yea ganjlover, Fuck you American with a brain obviously your against this because you probably have never done it so you dont really know what the hell your talking about in the first place. I find it funny how contradicting you are. You talk about how its a mind altering substance and that people will go kill each other when on it, which is completely ignorant of you to say because first, who is going to hurt or kill someone when high according to u it makes u lazy. I got a task for you &quot;american with a brain&quot; watch a documentary for me called The Union and find out what the statistic is for deaths per year affiliated with smoking weed and you might be surprised what the top 5 hell top 10 killers are in our world. The documentary also shows how your perceptions about the &quot;so called&quot; drug are completely wrong and proves it with actual facts and studies. Its a fucking weed...an herb! Studies have shown that weed can actually stimulate brain cells and aid people in so many ways i cant name them all and this is all with NO GOVERNMENT ADDITIVES!! How can you reject that especially when you really know nothing about it, that is just being close minded and ignorant. 
LEGALIZE THE HERB!!!!</description>

		<description>This is all fine and dandy, just one problem I see though.  How many of us have smoked while we drank...not a good combo.  We won&#039;t have a way to test drivers who might be under the influence.  Mixed with other substances, I don&#039;t know, sounds kinda scary to me.</description>

		<description>I hope so much this happens but even if it does fail and its close enough then that will still show that this is a legitamate arguement and more people will be looking into it.  If more and more people learn the truths about weed then we&#039;ll get more people on our side, remember they had to lie there ass off to get weed illegal alls we have to do is spread the truth.  And as for the 50 dollar tax i think that the people growing the best will be selling so much there mark up per ounce will go down quite a bit im sure it&#039;ll be cheaper than it is now.


               LEGALIZE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>Number 250, Mike.  
The same thing applies to me.  The concern over being busted and going to jail has stopped me from partaking.  The only recourse is alcohol and it doesn&#039;t agree with me either.
Sigh .......</description>

		<description>I hope they do legalize it, please!!!!!! I use to smoke, but was tired of being paranoid, now all I do is drink to make up for the loss and have gained 40 lbs, do shit at night I have no clue about (screaming and such).  When I smoked I lost all the weight, now I started drinking again and put on 40lbs.  Much safer to smoke, don&#039;t wake up and scream at things I have no clue about until my gf tells me about the next morning, if anything weed should be legalized and alcohol banned, causes liver cancer and other crazy shit.  I was the nicest person on weed, not some crazy angry drunk.</description>
