		<description>Marihuana is Technically a natural herb, not a drug. Cannot be patented. Pharmaceutical companies are public companies that make money selling drugs. FDA is paid 800 million for the permission to patent a drug. Natural herbs will cut into profits. do the math. There was an interesting report on the history channel recently regarding this.</description>

		<description>My husband has been smoking cannabis to help him have a better quality of life b/c the heart medications leave him completely exhausted. He&#039;s also been using cannabis oil tincture on his cancerous lesions (the cancer is a side effect of some of his pills and his doctor even told him as much) and his lesions are disappearing! But b/c we have very fascist-minded neighbors who reported the smoke smell, the sheriff&#039;s department searched and seized all of his medicine. Don&#039;t tell me there is no conspiracy!!! They are planning on putting a sick man in jail, and if they do, he will die there. The Federal government and the local Sheriff&#039;s department are guilty of assisting in my husband&#039;s demise. I WILL SUE!!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>i think some of you posting on this site have been smoking to much cannabis.
 if any of this is true then why have my friends died of cancer when he used to smoke it everyday. when he found out he had cancer he stopped smokin and started eating it. the cancer had been removed by the drs but there was a chance it could come back it came back even though he was taking canabis
can you please give me a good enough reason rather than a government cover up</description>

		<description>It&#039;s High Time We Legalize Marijuana and Hemp! 

The War on Drugs is more than a colossal failure, it&#039;s a farce and a criminal conspiracy brewed up among a few politicians and business leaders for personal and corporate profit. True examples of corruption  

The good news is that God is not on their side in the War on Drugs. So often Americans went to war under the distinct impression that God was on their side. But that is not the case in the Drug War, in fact He is quite offended by the activities of the drug warrior zealot who brings misery to his own people and kindred. This is a sad state of affairs, because these well meaning otherwise useful citizens are destroying their own country with this civil war they are prosecuting. 

Enough is enough, and I tell you the truth, You&#039;re in a heap of trouble with the Lord God Almighty... Shame on you! 

These folks are bought and paid for by lobbying, PR, and advertising firms representing companies that profit greatly from the prohibition and the ensuing War on Drugs. They are putting their children through the best colleges and Universities with the robust profits derived from nothing other than the prohibition against marijuana. 

That plus the total elimination of the totally harmless commodity of hemp, which would compete fiercely with their products of paper made from trees, and rope made from nylon. We all know who these people are, and so does the government who&#039;s politicians are also bought and sold by these same individuals. It is up to us to rid congress and the senate of these political leaders that are the best that money can buy, and we can do it by the ballot. 

I highly recommend you consider electing Colonel Pepper to the office of President. I inhaled and won&#039;t lie about it. Furthermore due to the fact that possession of even small amounts has always been a felony along the the use of marijuana itself a felonies, I figure that in the past 40 years I have committed about 5,000 felonies that I was never caught committing, and no proof exists to win a conviction either, so I just got away with it and nobody was hurt.

Furthermore, I believe there is a provision written into law that states something along the line, &quot;If a law is repugnant to the Constitution, then it is null and void.&quot; 



Well marijuana prohibition laws are repugnant to the Constitution, because, they were the result of a criminal conspiracy between certain legislators and a few industry leaders. (ie: Randolf Hurst from the lumber mills and Du Ponts chemical company to name a couple right away. This law is based on the lie that marijuana is a narcotic drug and those hopelessly addicted to this drug are a menace to society. (See the propaganda movie, &quot;Reefer Madness&quot;) 



The prohibition itself is a menace to society, and it has devided this nation in two; with  brainwashed masses up in arms against the reform minded individuals who seek to change the law. The brainwashed seem to think that to have an opinion different from the government&#039;s own criminal code is a crime in it&#039;s own right. John McCain once wrote me in response to my inquiry about reforming the laws against marijuana, that I deserved to be in prison because of my point of view. It makes you wonder how he ever lost the election to President. I myself am going to seek the nomination from the GOP, and plan to run against President Obama in 22012.

		<description>Ignoring the many people that identify themselves as the so-called government will not make them go away. Wouldn&#039;t it be nice if it did? However, one cannot educate without first being educated. And only through peace, education, and probably shame for the wicked, can we expect to enlighten the ignorant.
 You are all supposed to be kings free to do as you please. Remember that the people who purport to hold office and dictate to you what you can and cannot do, all took oaths which they are obliged to obey by law. That law comes from, &quot;...the consent of the governed.&quot;(Declaration of Independence). Without your consent there are a great many rules, statutes, and ordinances which simply do not apply to you. In 1970 there existed approximately 700 Million &quot;laws&quot; in these united states (capitalization intentional). How many &quot;laws&quot; are there now? You simply cannot be required to obey that which you do not have enough life to read. Truth be told, you cannot even be required to read. 
The real law is self-evident, do not harm others. It is harming someone to pretend to be their master, and even more so to actually be their master. It is also harming others to pass enough so-called laws that all men are criminals. Thought is powerful, if you think you are a slave or a criminal, who besides Mom will try to convince you otherwise? My advice, if I may offer it without insulting, is to learn about the supremacy of contract. The Constitution that so many point to as the source for their rights, binds those that purport to be the government. It does not bind you. Allow me to provide a couple of simple questions then I will go.

Do any one of you have a legitimate claim to be able to require me to do anything? (I am assuming you realize you do not.)

Since no one of you purports (I hope) to be able to require me to do anything. I just have one more question.

How can two or more of you vote to give someone else power that you do not possess?

I recommend reading Lysander Spooner (or listen to his work No Treason on Youtube). Also, try to keep in mind that all crime requires a real flesh and blood victim. You could violate statues, rules, and ordinances all day long, but if no flesh and blood person is harmed, you have not committed a crime. (And yes, stealing is harming someone.)

Apologies around for going on so long, but hopefully this will remind some of you not to despair. You are in charge, why not start enjoying your freedom?

By the way, this study seems to indicate that pot consumption causes new brain cell growth.

		<description>The Good News is that God is not on their side this time. So often in the coarse of time this country gas relied on the fact that God was on their side during times of War. 

Memories meander through time on a voyage over an ocean of ages. One of them traveled back to the day God said, “Let us make man in our image, and after our likeness”. Remembering the words came easy, because at that time we were talking about how Neanderthals were still dragging their knuckles...

Mother Nature’s course of evolution had done a fine job so far; but God knew He could do a lot better. God did make man in His own image, both male and female; He created them and blessed them. God gave them dominion over every living thing that moved upon the earth, including the evolved species, the cattle of the land, even the fish of the seas and the fowls of the air. Every living thing that moved upon the earth was a gift to humanity whose purpose was to subdue and replenish the earth. God said to be fruitful and multiply; this is His Divine Will. 

When God created man, there were already living beings through out the universe, and upon this very planet that had evolved. Among the original beings were 144,000 angels assigned to watch over and serve God’s creation. We did watch in awe and admiration as the beginning of time became manifest before our very eyes. We watched this all week long!

Of course in God’s Kingdom the days are not measured in earth’s 24 hour increments. There are millions of earth years in just one of God’s days, and seven days at God’s house is really quite a long time compared to a week on this little planet.
