They have handguns legal yet the majority of states just let offenders carry them. I say if you want them legal, everybody carries them, or take them all away, then at least there will be less of them for the offenders to get ahold of and will diminish over time. We have people that have always obeyed the law for the most part running our country, went to college and read books and partied there asses off then got married, had kids now need income, none of these people have any experience in life only the classroom and marriage, never came home with a hurting back or hands from a hard days work that would build any type of character.

Marijuana isn't addicting at all, doesn't destroy your mind or body, safer than alchohol and tobacco. Freedoms in this country have slowly diminished and will continue, it's all about the money I guess, that's why they fine you when you speed instead of just taking your license away for a week, that'd work. If they tried to drug test me at work I'd refuse on principle. The laws ruin lives, a very ignorant/inadequate society.

It cannot be controlled, anyone could grow it. they would have no taxation accountability. we called them revenuers when it was moonshine, and when it was tobacco, the lobbyists were able to limit the common farmer to a tobacco base allotment. he was only allowed to grow so much, or face the loss of his income. In WV the older generation would understand the principle, if propaganda hadn't been allowed to demonize weed. the concept of it being a medicine, or less harmful than cigarettes, or just a relaxing pleasure, or being useful in clothing, or food hasn't been in the educational process. the alcohol,pharmacy, and tobacco lobby has made sure of that.true, we are considered a bible belt state, and i've read the bible for 43 years, but erasing what government propaganda has done to vilify cannabis will be just as difficult as it is to convince someone that all they have to do is learn that they can cry Father. As far as hypocrisy goes, the responses that i've had returned from my elected representative congressman rahall is his belief that marijuana is a gateway drug, a response that shows his uneducated stance, in the face of numerous committees that contradict his view, while his own arrest for drunk driving was largely swept under the rug of the good ol boy in power lobby.
