Quoting: Leoparda_Sanctuswell it is certainly better and less destructive than alcohol..and it is also less harmful and more effective than many prescription mood elevators, pain relievers and appetite stimulators. It is an important medication for those who, like many cancer patients, no longer have any appetite. It should be legal. Simple as that. turtles know: low profiles are best. I like turtles! |

I sure could use some right now after getting my wisdom teeth hanked. A few years back, a medical pot bill failed a South Dakota vote by only about 6%, something like 53-47. If it can get such a close vote in a conservative state like this one, such bills would surely easily pass in other states. |

BillyX User ID: 633810 Australia 03/12/2009 10:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Legalizing drugs would save so much tax money on this stupid war on drugs that obviously doesn't work much like prohibition didnt work early last century. The fact is legal or not people will use drugs whats the point in locking these people up for what they decide to put into their own bodies? As long as they are not harming anybody else i don't see the real issue with drugs. People say its bad for you and it kills many people every day but so does fast food, tobacco & alcohol, im sure they kill more people a year than illegal drugs. Hell more people probably die driving their car or get cancer from inhaling the fumes cars put into the air, should we ban cars too because of the potential danger to our health? I can see plenty more advantages to legalizing drugs, it would stamp out the black market for them meaning less crime, the drugs would be regulated there for safer for the people using them which would mean less deaths, the government would obviously put a tax on them which means more money can be spent on the greater good of society and the list goes on. Sadly i don't see this happening any time soon governments around the world don't want to give us more freedom they prefer to take them away. |

Quoting: EnaidI grew up in the '60s and among my friends smoking pot was as common as smoking cigarettes and drinking beer. Later, I became concerned about having to go through dealers and never being sure about the purity or safety on the street. I had a friend who grew his own under lights in a backyard shed. He was glad to provide some at a reasonable price. Later, I grew a crop on a balcony of an upstairs apartment. I harvested enough in one season to supply me for 2 years and I shared quite a bit with friends. When I bought my first house, I set up an attic grow room with lights. I grew six plants at a time and supplied myself and all my close friends for the next two years. Then I became concerned for the consequences of getting caught. The idea of having my home seized and spending time in prison was too frightening, so I got rid of my little garden.
