it is so clear that marijuana prohibition has not and will not work. we live in debt day to day as a country of fearful liars and dispondant right wing offense. i think that it should be legalized as a producable commodity. i think the individual grower should be the main reciever of benefits. i think the grower should be able to still produce this cash crop. the government has taken so much from americans and now they want our pot. im not for govermental control and profit. the governments only benefit should be their direct savings of law enforcement spending, etc. it should not make money from something they have beat us up over for decades.they can save money, but refuse to let them profit beyond a small tax. i think alcohol should be their main concern. i hate drunks. several friends and loved ones are dead over alcohol. i have seen 0 victims over marijuana. the only victims stemming from pot is the ones the gov chose to punish. lives destroyed over something given to us by god. fuck all you asshole opponents of legalization. but dont worry, fight all you want… your kids and grandkids will make sure it happens. united snakes of america.

What Do You Think of the Pot Polls?…

If a referendum was held in your state to legalize marijuana, whether it was for medical or recreational use, would you check a “yes” or a “no” on the ballot? That’s exactly what California voters have been asked in reference to the upcoming vote on No…

I hope its legal so we can begin to eat weed instead of lettuce. I mean c’mon lettuce, oranges, celery etc. get boring. I mean my parents always told me to eat my veggies but c’mon they are controlled by years of brainwashing. I hope every farmer wises up and trades in their food crop for the sticky-icky that way my “Wheaties” can become “weedies” yay. Wise up and vote NO. Medical access is extremely simple and adequate the system works, it ain;t broken in Cali and don’t need fixing.

Alcohol should be illegal then thats one of the most deadliest drugs. Cannabis The Earth’s Most Valuable, Versatile and Sustainable Natural Resource. High-grade vegetable oil for cooking, cosmetics, soaps, shampoos, lubrication, fuel, plastics, etc. The seed is a cholesterol-lowering source of full protein. It also posseses omegas, the essential fatty acids that are critical to human nureological and immunological well-being. Hemp is dried and broken down into two parts: thread–like fibers and bits of “hurd,” or pulp. Each has its own distinct applications:

The long bark fiber, or bast, at 77% cellulose, is cleaned and spun into thread, yarn or rope, or woven or knit into a variety of durable, high-quality textiles for clothing, canvas and fabrics of many textures.

The inner core that remains is called hemp hurds, an abosrbent material with cellulose for tree-free, dioxin-free paper; non-toxic paints and sealants; industrial fabrication materials; construction materials; hemi-cellulose for plastic, and much more! Hemp is the best sustainable source of plant pulp for biomass fuel to make charcoal, gas, methanol, gasoline or even produce electricity.

This has been a non-brainer ever since the wonderful plant was labeled a “drug” and outlawed. If anything, treat it like alcohol. Nobody has ever died from the use of the plant. The fact that it’s “illegal” causes common people to be “criminals”, be afraid of law enforcement, and often have to be around undesirable people just to acquire it. Countless tax dollars are being spent to hunt down growers and lock them up – when a better route would be to take in tax dollars on sales and stop wasting the money on the justice system. Take if off the black-market and the specific violence surrounding it will certainly decline (so will prices). With any substance, there is a true difference between “use” and “abuse”.

The anti-drug propaganda is in full swing with prop 19. I have heard many PRO-CANNABIS people claim 19 is bad because it would stiffen penalties for many cases…..

O.K. Let’s put it this way.

If anyone, right down to the last standing, person thinks that the government can defy the will of the people, as they have now realized is a political death trap, they are just plain stupid, and have no place in politics. If they don’t think that they have commited political suicide, they are most likely smoking some really strange shit. If they go back on their word to recognize medicinal cannabis, the backlash will effect every thing that they will attempt to do. We made it the #1 issue and we intend to keep it #1 forever. I would vote for the devil – as a write-in vote – in the next election before I would give a prohobotionist the time of day – which is about the same thing as giving the devil the time of day.

I find myself wondering exactly what it would take to become a legal California citizen if Prop 19 passes.

Since I live in Virginia, I also wonder, if I did make California my legal State of residence, whether Virginia law or California law would then apply to me. Perhaps it would depend on where I was if I were to get busted… Does anyone know?

I’d prefer to have my State taxes going to a State that has laws that I believe in! Most of our leaders here love their tobacco but are totally against marijuana…

[Paul Armentano responds: California state law requires anyone residing in the state for ten days or more to become a legal resident. The state's medical marijuana protections applie to residents. Prop. 19's non-medical protections applie to any adult over age 21.]

A 100% Drug Free America…

You DO NOT want to live in what it would take to make one.
