All of you are very correct and Jim you are a very astute man, so I will leave you with this:

How can he agree with the persecution of millions of innocent, harmless smokers and be against the compassion of dying people who want an alternative to harsh chemical drugs that cause more sickness and death? Christianity is about life, compassion, love for one another, freedom, happiness, and above all, God. Does he think Jesus would have been for persecuting the sick? IMO, Baldwin is what I consider immature in his faith, thinking it is his job to save the world and be a perfect example. And this gateway stance??? Please, smoking marijuana kept me from drinking more heavily when I was young and kept me from looking for other types of drugs. I guess, maybe, if I couldn't find any smoke, I may have been tempted to take whatever else was available, for recreation and socializing as a teenager. If it was legal and available, no one would have that problem. What is he thinking. The only thing I (as a Christian) think is wrong with pot, is it can become habitual and make you forget to build your relationship with God. On the other hand, it has helped me at many times to give me spiritual enlightenments. It can help you realize how screwed up the world is as compared to how it was meant to be as God intended. Michael, bless you for your efforts, but its time for you to get off your high horse of holier than thou and plant simple seeds to fruit. Trying to force your beliefs and save everyone just pushes them away because they look at you and don't want to be like that. Thank God I grew up and realized that I didn't need to go to Church to be accepted by people like yourself and decided to go for myself to build my relationship with God. It was people displaying your current attitude that kept me out of Church for 20+ years. Please, stop thinking that you know what you're talking about and be more like your brother. At least he's hilarious. But you should also realize you are now supporting just what the big, evil corporations and governors want you to support. You should know how God feels about them. Amen.

Isn't it time we looked around and said enough is enough; The justice department has made enough money from this prohibition. That $ has spilled over into every "law-enforcers" pocket. (nobody calls them peace-keepers anymore)For example, how many law-enforcers do u know of that own homes,SUVs,boats &(fuel for boats),plus time to get to the water? How many pot-smokers,not dealers,do u know of that have it that easy? i can't even get a decent job without having to piss in a cup for some jerk who is testing it and probably smoking too. Back to what i was trying to say, the government doesn't like amputating itself, but we should look at trying to get our government to divide itself. For mj reform to happen, we need to look at what we have and implement it. the D.E.A.should colaborate with the D in the F.D.A.and the Food admin should really look hard in the mirror and come correct. Half of our food is imported and that is BS! We need more farmers, farms, and food inspectors. The food and drug admin is too big for itself and should divide. Law enforcers could keep their pay, but their job title could change to food inspector or something like that. Also, nursing homes are the real problem to mj reform; they don't want us using home-health care, they make too much $ from insurance and medical companies to let you die in piece at home with your loved-ones. Something has to be done for those who are incarserated. The prisoners need to be released, compensated,relieved or pardoned from wrong-doing so they can get back into society and continue to be productive. As far as gate-way goes, im 32, and smoked for half my life, but just recently tried heroin. H was too much like LSD, im too old for that intense shit,and decided to just stick with good old reefer. Alcohol is the hardest stuff out there, hands down. Edgar & Jim are crackin me up! #87 & #97 are both right, but #73 has the right idea if any reform is to take place.
