One of those forces is television. With the direct action of seeding the lands with a plant of nature, to the lobbying efforts of NORML, we all have our part in the greater effort of saving mankind from the scourge of atheism, and beurocratic communism (that international effort to create the perfected man, as inspired by the god of human reason, Lucifer). The time is ripe. Activists. Do you support your local grower? ARE YOU CONTRIBUTING TO THE MESS DOWN SOUTH? Are you telling the enthusists about the effort? About its benefits? Have you lobbied your local politicos? I think the California model is reasonable. It dove tails with the 10th ammendment efforts by our fellow travelers, the libertarians. We all must do our part in limiting federal controls. PS please stop throwing your seeds in the trash can. Put them in conveinent plant beds, and flower pots instead. What is the sin of casting them into the wilds and wastelands?

Made me furious. I personally do not believe MJ LEADS to harder drug use anymore than I am convinced another drug, coffee does. I’m not being facetious here. Certainly it can be proven statistically a large percentage of those who first try coffee & liking how it makes them feel, more alert & vibrant DO go on to harder drugs such as speed that will keep them even MORE alert & vibrant. Thus, it can be proven, coffee leads to stronger drugs. The arguments for Marijuana & Coffee leading to harder drugs are the same.

You no doubt agree beer, an initial alcoholic beverage, can DEFINITELY BE PROVEN TO LEAD TO ALCOHOLISM, to, is involved in murders & drunk driving accidents. Think of the people YOU HAVE KNOWN who are now DEAD as a result of an alcohol related event. Go on COUNT THEM. I want names. How many were your kin? How many were good friends? Think on this the next few days & keep up with the number as it grows. NOW add to that the... Read More number of Marijuana related deaths. Predict ahead of time. Do you think there a noticeable difference or not? Beer, the most often initial alcoholic drink, kills enough people- in & of itself one doesn't HAVE to move onto harder liquor. Lastly the reason I am for the legalization of Marijuana is related again to alcohol. Don’t you think a country is a bit backwards in wherea drug that kills thousands is legal, one that has been known to kill very few (I can find no scientific evidence of any) is not. \ I believe the number of traffic deaths would be GREATLY decreased each year if MJ became legal. I feel this way in that many people I know personally would RATHER smoke, but are forced to drink alcohol in lieu of smoking pot so they can keep their jobs when random drug tests are given.

I don't understand why all of these organizations that are allegedly fighting to legalize it will not simply campaign the people to start throwing seeds.
