		<description>I have kids now, I can not go to jail. I do not have any political power, and I live in Saskatchewan Canada. If I got busted with a few plants, or a once, I would face 2 to 5 years in jail. A little more about me. I am a heavy Equipment Operator, I use to smoke an ounce of high test a week. At my workplace if peoples lives depended on the equipment operator they always put there trust in me. I smoke weed at work, but I never got over excited.

Anyway, I can’t risk going to jail now so I have quit smoking pot. I have quit for a while now and I do not like what I have become. I’m abusive, quick tempered, not a good father and a terrible husband.  

The chance of jail was not the only reason I quit, I did some math a while back and I figure I put around $250 000 dollars into the hands of organized crime and or gangs. I think its soon going to drive me to drinking. Just the thought of because of me someone was able to afford a gun and place harm onto some innocent. 

For now, it looks like alcohol is better, not for me or my family, but for someone else’s family.</description>

		<description>I would like to see the news report state: &quot;he was twice the legal limit for driving in our state, and we found a pack a Camels in the vehicle. We, are further investigating if the driver had smoked tobacco before getting behind the wheel.&quot;

		<description>Disappointing that while comparisons to alcohol make herb look good, we&#039;re missing the opportunity to make the more important comparison to tobackgo, especially since the Big 2Wackgo oligarchy leads the fight to keep 1.2 billion humans enslaved worldwide through among other things cannabis prohibition.

1.  Remember that because cigarettes are available as a sober-up drug many are misled to binge-drink followed by driving or other risk-taking.  The results are written off to the alcohol and there is not enough attention to nicotine as enabling drug.

2.  Teenagers binge-drink to impress peers and earn membership in some club or gang by drinking as many as the other guys do, then when SCHOOL (an institution which teaches them to play it cool) requires preparation for the big test and you need to unfog your brain from the hangover-- well, that&#039;s when anti-sleep drug cigarette is necessary-- leading to addiction.  (As the President said of himself, half the addicts are hooked before they are legally old enough to buy cigarettes.)

Comparisons may not make their point because of failure to compare dosage appropriately.  Not just &quot;smoking this&quot; versus &quot;smoking that&quot;-- quantify.  Instead of a hot burning overdose 700-mg. commercial square, a 25-mg. semivaporized toke in a long-stemmed one-hitter (1/28 the serving size).  (Or use a vaporizer; if knowledgeable, work on developing the liquid THC formula which will someday be used in E-spliffs.)</description>

		<description>Well... I have watched so many people&#039;s lives be destroyed by alcohol and saw many women be abused while when I&#039;m around people that get high they want to chill and hang. On the other hand in a room with people drunk they want to fight I would MUCH rather get high the world is falling apart and you cant stop us for much longer. We won&#039;t be lied to anymore the time is now! Just legalize it so people stop killing each other for it. WEED SUPORTER ALL THE WAY!</description>

		<description>as i see it, this alien us govt has one challenge they see as insurmountable, and i believe we can turn that same challenge into the way to peace for ALL life.  they are well aware of the uncountable millions whose lives, loves and families they have forever marred b/c of their moronic and atrocious laws.  we live in an extremely litigious society, and the alien us govt has NEVER been known for acknowledging or repenting it&#039;s atrocities. we recognize the cannabis plant as a sacred teacher and sharer of peace, love, joy, healing compassion and infinite abundance.  so the way out is sharing it&#039;s many gifts of wisdom, compassion, and (really important) forgiveness.  specifically amnesty.  for all, from all.  instead of retribution, there is compensation, and all can thrive (even those currently thriving on war) in a peace and abundance oriented society. remembering that change is part of life, and change is not the same as loss.   i call it &quot;not cattle, cccatall&quot;. the cccatall portion is a &quot;compassionate campaigning church for cannabis awareness truth amnesty legalization laughter light and love&quot;.  truth with compassion, being the peacemakers, that&#039;s how to end this particular govmtl abomination, and this can then be the catalyst for myriad other ways to peace as well.  

many of us already know how destructive cattle (and most every other food animal) is on the earth, on us humans, and obviously on the critters.  so instead of growing cattle feed, portion some of the land for cannabis instead, and they will quickly see how far their profits will go.  prisons can become spiritual healing centers, where people go on retreats and learn how to grow it, spin it, make fuel and food and paper and countless other things, and learn to share the plant&#039;s heart-filled wisdom.  we share the teachings of this energy of peace, and the warring stops here.

so the idea is to give the govt the out they don&#039;t really want (because they like the status quo of keeping people enslaved) but i do believe they would love to utilize the many benefits of having this plant back in use, (and they do have many other ways of keeping us enslaved).  it&#039;s the best deal they will ever have.  and fewer animals would be raised in terrible accomodations, and again everyone thrives.  

anyway, that&#039;s some of it.  all of us sharing the truths of peace.  thanks for rading this, and peace for ALL life, human, critter, plant, and stone.</description>
