Unfortunately, as a society many have been conditioned to believe that marijuana is evil. People see the images of staged actors playing stoned on anti-drug commercials and it doesn't help that they're all teens. Teens should not drink, sign contracts, be in charge of important things or smoke. Since everyone sees this and only this side, they become conditioned to believe it is harmful, that it is a gateway drug, people will die, etc, etc, etc. The first time I smoked I was convinced that I felt nothing, why? My expectations were built up, I was waiting to feel like I was floating, I expected to see things etc. My preconceived notions and trumped up expectations were greater than the actual effect. For those who say I will never try it, don't. Just don't force your sense of justice and morality, based on notions and misinformation down everyone's throat. Everyone in this country has the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. For many, the right to Life is challenged and during life's hardest times (as those with illness) sometimes Marijuana can give you a little happiness and can help make life better. P.S. Not all Marijuana users are teens, rappers, thugs, or morons, just the ones on TV. Many are respectable professionals and you might be surprised to find out how many of us there are.

"Big Brother" is becoming more afraid and things will definitely get worse before they get better. This is more tragic because this issue could be totally resolved with a simple reading of the Constitution.

A book author or movie producer could be rich over night with the right slant, createing something we haven't seen or considered like, "The Human Factor." If you have no heart or compassionate feelings for others, this won't appeal to you at all. On the other hand, this could start an uprising like nothing we've seen in the past. Make no mistake in understanding that if you smoke pot, it's because the police let you and that's the truth. Please don't make the mistake of thinking that your secret use of marijuana is safe. We've evolved from a super secret sub-culture to an above average activist status for MJ. The 1960's would have been successful in MJ reform if they'd been better organized and funded. Today, NORML and a half dozen National Organizations, are what was missing during the 1960's. Now that we've corrected our mistakes from the past. Politicians are the only wall between reform of MJ laws and freedom. Hell, if the system doesn't work any better than it's doing right now for many issues, what's the sense in keeping it in place. Or should we just remove the ass holes that are in office? History has shown that when political leaders are out of touch with it's people, the people take action in the most extreme ways especially when citizens lives are destroyed by corrupt, out dated laws.

NORML-- you NEVER EVER REPLY TO MY E-MAILS, so I am saying this here: -NSAID INTOLERANCE SHOULD BE COVERED BY MEDICAL MARIJUANA. A person who can't take aspirin or ibuproferin based medications, should NOT be limited to dangerous and addictive narcotics (oxy) or ineffective synthetics (darvocet) to combat pain. MEDICAL MARIJUANA FOR THE NSAID INTOLERANT!!!!!! We need to fight for Medical Marijuana for NSAID intolerant people!!!!!
