		<description>I have smoked marijuana for about 20 years now.  I have never robbed anyone for it, killed anyone in a traffic accident, or had a gun stuck in my face while buying a sack from the &quot;Friendly Neighborhood Grower.&quot;   

9 out of 10 marijuana smokers are very hard working, laid back individuals.  I believe that as a tax paying American Citizen we all have the right to come home after work and enjoy a relaxing bowl of some premo smoke.  

In recorded history there is not one case of a person overdosing on Marijuana - IT has been proved to be Medically IMPOSSIBLE.  Although Butane; fluid in lighters, has over 127 deaths attributed to it every year.  How many thousands of people are affected negatively by the use of Alcohol or Prescription pills? More than I would care to count! 

What&#039;s up with the propaganda commercials on network television?  I&#039;m sure everyone remembers the one where a couple guys are sitting in a drive thru smoking a joint.  The driver suddenly panics for whatever reason and runs over a little girl on a bicycle! Excuse me, but WTF is that all about?  Has anyone here Ever heard of something so ludicris? 

TO ALL MY FELLOW SMOKERS!

An ex drug interdiction officer by the name of Barry Cooper has released a set of video&#039;s that has really pissed off a lot of people.  He was an officer for 8 years and had over 800 arrest.  He now has two video&#039;s out called &quot;Never Get Busted Again&quot; and the 2nd &quot;Never Get Raided Again&quot;.  I strongly urge people to watch these vids, if you can&#039;t afford to purchase them, then search for a torrent at:  www.btjunkie.com
He goes over transporting personal amounts of weed in your vehicle w/o getting caught, how to act during a traffic stop, including what profilers look for.  What constitutes probable cause, etc.  
Video #2 Never get raided covers, cultivation indoors/outdoors .  How to spot an informant or undercover officer &amp; how to sell or buy weed safely w/o attracting attention from the &quot;Bacon Patrol&quot;.

For Growers - For every person you tell about your garden your chances of getting caught rise by 10%.  Best advice I can give is grow your own &amp; shut the fuck up about it.  Share with your close friends, but tell no one where it came from.

Don&#039;t Criticize, Re-Legalize!

		<description>To those who feel that growing decent bud is too difficult or too dangerous to do in a home garden:

I&#039;m glad I didn&#039;t know that. I&#039;ve had amazing results just putting seeds in the ground and watering as needed. When this plant finds itself in a place it likes it grows with very little attention. You can, of course, worry and stew and fuss over them, but it&#039;s not really necessary. And that complicated curing that one writer fears is also quite simple...hang the branches in a closet for several days and they&#039;re done. Not tough. Not complicated...unless you choose to make it so...and very inexpensive.</description>

		<description>I agree 100% with what was said in the above reading.....The government needs to back off of cannibus users b/c we are the same as they are, except we like to smoke cannibus. Like me i use it to help me calm down after a stressful day. The government has ways they can tax it, just don&#039;t want to. If it is legal in one state it should be legal in all states. The cultivation of cannibus is just as much of a right to us as growing ur own vegatable garden. Well this is my thought on the legalization of cannibus. So thanks for the time and letting us fellow cannibus users be able to speak our minds freely about what we believe is right for us as citizens of the United States.....</description>

		<description>We need Ron Paul to write up a bill that asks congress to allow testing of medical grade mj by reputable sources that we can all agree are fair and unbiased tohave access to med grade unfettered by the DEA and if it has medical value then reschedule appropiately!Done deal We don&#039;t have to put them on the spot to vote pot legal, their own rules will do the job.Anybody that sees this as solid logic, please pass it on to your legislators.</description>

		<description>Bag of weed, Bag of weed everything is better with a bag of weed. You don&#039;t need meth you don&#039;t need speed cause everything is better with a bag of weed. That&#039;s a song from Family Guy. A recent pole stated that 52% of Americans think pot is safer than booze. If you notice most TV progams deal with the subject of legalization in some shape form or fashion. It is only a matter of time guys and gals. The movement is main stream. If the republicans want to ever get back in power this is one position they will have to come to the 21st centry on. The entire war on drugs is such a freakin waste of time and money. It is almost like trying to stop the wind. You can block it in a small area but it only blows past in another. As long as there is a demand there will be a supply.</description>

		<description>Legalization of cannabis can only be achieved by mass numbers constantly in the &quot;new gods&quot; (government) face, let&#039;s all make our voices heared. no debates, just do it. Thank you to all @ NORML but let&#039;s face the facts; all the major pharmaceutical companies pay lobbyists extreme amounts of money to sway our polititians to keep cannabis illegal. We don&#039;t have enough money to buy our FREEDOM. Where are the pro-pot advertisements? Ask your preacher, priest, minister or whoever teaches about GOD &quot; is god the creator of all things? Does god LOVE us? For centuries cannabis has been medicine,food and fiber. The new gods of man can prohibit god&#039;s creation? What about freedom of religion? My god created everything for my benefit because he loves us. Man gods are only interested in control of men and of course MONEY. I say LEGALIZE IT! NO TAXES on food. Cannabis grows from soil; ready to use. Alcohol and all those poisonous pills have to be manufactured. Let&#039;s change this country into a FREE country and not let the &quot;man gods&quot; make money on something they don&#039;t approve of anyway.</description>
