exactly doctors also use cocaine for treatments as but we don\'t need to go that route right? too much of anything is bad for you..even too much vitamin C is bad for you. everything has to have an equal balance. Sure you can quit smoking but if you\'re sucking down fried eggs & cheesesteaks everyday then you have to worry about heart disease. i\'ve heard of some stories where people would jog (quit smoking and i\'m not defending smoking..just trying to make a point) everyday stay fit & then drop dead.

everything would be fine with them except they had a poor diet..everything must have equal balance.

Prohibition of weed is 100x worse than decriminalization.

I just don\'t understand how someone can say the negatives of decriminalization outweigh the positives. Liberal, conservative, it doesn\'t matter this is an issue that would benefit everyone.

How can people not see that?

I don\'t want people to think that I\'m saying weed is completely harmless because it is not. It should be looked at the same way alcohol is. Especially Considering the "fact" that beer is a gateway drink. I know some people that started drinking beer and went on to harder drinks because they wanted to get MORE drunk. Its despicable.

there\'s no way weed is going to be legalized..the image is not socialbly correct..bare with me here i\'m struggling to find the right words I mean you used to see marboro commercials on tv back in the day..no-more now all you see are those "truth" commercials.

the image of someone getting lifted off a spliff is one that is not accepted by the general public...of course  you have the rappers & most young cats glamorizing it,..yet would it look cool to see the pres. smokin\' a nice fat one? would it be cool to see jordan doing it?...nope.

but it is ok to see them with maybe a martini in their hand or some sort of umbrella drink. the general public will see them as "oh they\'re just casually drinking" and thus no negativity will be directed at them..even tho alcohol is bad for you i know..hopefully you get my point here.

Sounds like a good idea.

I heard that Hemp was better than Cotton but why?
