The same ads which use to talk only about marijuana are now re-mixed – they re-did the ad whre they young gorl falls asleep at a so called party and her mean friend make a clown faced puppet out of her during her obviously drunken passed out self.
but know the video which used to warn parents about marijuana now says keep yourself in control or something like that
Prohibition was a stupid idea

"It found that the approved drugs — which included anti-psychotics, Attention Deficit Disorder medications, painkillers and other prescription drugs — were suspected as the primary cause of 10,008 deaths and as a secondary cause in 1,679 more. Marijuana, on the other hand, was the primary suspect in zero deaths and a suspected secondary factor in 279 deaths." uhhhh....duh. this is all you have to look at. not to mention how many deaths have been caused by alcohol. this makes me very happy.

Kudos to all here who are enlightened on this therapeutic herb. Keep it burning and take it from a Neurologist, this stuff is actually good for your brain’s health. Go figure that to the naysayers. Legalize it, and don’t criticize it, didn’t Peter tell you long ago?

RE: In other words,

Cannabinoids promote neurogenesis… :D
and vice-versa… ;)

There’ll be
NO MORE SMOKING

After just a few times taking it I had noticed major changes to me. I was alot more violent, wild, i became nocturnal I truly didnt care for much aside my dog Nathan. This was actually increasing all the stuff it was supposed to stop, years later the simple truth was I was a guineea pig for a new pharm. drug, I don't recommend puttin early teens on marijuana but it wouldve been a far better choice. I've seen what happens to people on xannax, oxycottons and addarill it's not a pretty sight at all.There are so many pharm drugs I see advertisements on tv if you've taken xxxxxx contact us you might be entitled o xxxxxx$ because this drug has been linked to so many deaths heart issues etc and theyre prescribed to us for things like the flu. Our pharm. companies are using us as gunieea pigs to see what the effects are with out telling us, in my humble opinnion I don't know how anyone can trust theese people. I know I'll get some hate for this but i think if someone has cancer the true solution if they have an estimated life expactancy of only a few months (1-24) is to keep them high as possible dont give them chemo and radiation as I've seen firsthand how people feel on theese treatments and I've seen how they feel if they smoke a joint the difference is insane they go from throwing up nonstop not able to eat losing all their body hair not being able to sleep and constantly being in pain, to being sable to hold down food and move around and being happy as can be. We need to stop testing a drug on unknowing people or " wards of the state " but I know this is just as likely to happen as dcfs putting kids they take from a home into a better home. With our economy I don't see how we can afford not to legalize marijuana not only what it create jobs from people growing it maintaing it harvesting it then dispensing it into joints or straight bud form for your choice on how to use it. It would also save forests so the stems would be able to be harvested for clothing, paper and they could also produce enviroment friendly gasses/oils for automobiles, alchool companies could produce cannabis based liquors. Enviromentally this would also have huge benefitts as i said save trees stop some pollution produce more oxygen. Summary of what im saying is sae people from bad pharms, create jobs, create money save the enviroment, save us money, how could we go wrong with this choice?

Man that's an understatement...extremely so! There's a lot of shit they don't want voters to find out. We haven't given them enough time to fill the deep holes and cover them up. I mean caverns of shit, that might lead us to the "real control" culpret. Every time they get their ass cover in one place, they give in a little more. For instance...turning on the pharma-beasts. Patience...you're really gonna need your meds in your older age. 63 M Grider Government is affraid to open Pandora’s Box.

I am clean for the next 4 years till I retire in 2013. I think the government is afraid to open pandoras box. I hope the laws change and then I will no longer be an outlaw. Vote for a change if they ever let us. I have never been arrested but I have smoked or ingested cannabis since I was 15 and I am 51. I am clean for the next 4 years till I retire in 2013.
