Farmers would prosper. The nation would have a new crop America's southern states would be great for farming this...no more failing cotton, corn, soybean and tobacco crops. JOBS< JOBS< JOBS PROSPERITY People are going to smoke weed anyway...may as well legalize it. The only downside is for the cartels. Boo-fucking-hoo. People could get off their suicide inducing anti-depressants. People could stop self-medicating with more dangerous toxins. Oil isn't the most valuable commodity...it's marijuana. The perfect natural drug given to us by our creator (whoever you may believe that is). Alas, there is still a lot up uptight people who have been told their whole lives that weed is evil, dangerous, and will make you a deviant within society...but that breed is finally dying off. The only thing keeping me on dangerous anti-depressants and the such is the legal status of marijuana. Let me just smoke some damn weed and maybe I won't have to take a dangerous Pfizer pill. If the major pharmaceutical co.'s are so worried about losing money to this...just develop medicines that utilize THC and they could still make a fortune. |

I just pray that us living in PA get some help soon, a few years ago Medical MJ was spoken of often but then it just went away we didn't get a vote or we didn't get a say on if we wanted it or not. They just teased us with it and took it away. I hope that the legalization of a couple brave states paves the way for the Federal Govt to stop looking down on MJ the way they do and let reasonable adults chose what they want to put in their bodies. Its a damn shame but I can get ultra hard drugs much easier than pot at the moment because of the way things are. People are scared to grow pot in PA because of horrid draconian laws that persecute you like you are running a meth lab. We just want to smoke once in awhile, and those of us in severe pain have no quality of life. Pot would at least help us eat better and laugh once in awhile. Life is short, we should be able to try to enjoy it the way we see fit as reasonable adults. |

And yes, I know they are already "tracking" you by the fact that you registered to be able to buy medicinal. They only know that you consume though, they don't know anything about amount purchased, etc. |
