Make pot legal.
Tax it and control it like alcohol.
Let the current farmers of tobaco farm marijuana and we the citizens won't ever have to subsidize them again.
The national debt could be paid in short order.
The prison system would no longer be the place where kids busted for having pot learn how to be criminals.
The prison system would have more room for real criminals and early releases due to crowding could be a thing of the past.
Make pot legal and do away with the black market and the ciolence that goes along with it.
Gangs that finance their activities by sidewalk markets could be put out of business.
There are more good reasons to legalize pot than not to.

AMEN!
We can be the change we wish to be in the world if we ban together.
Over 75% of people I know smoke pot. I work for the government...go figure. We are all scared of the minority. That is the main problem though with the U.S. We, the majority let the minority make all the decisions!

legalize it! you dont see people kicking each others' a**es while high like you do in bar fights. i cant believe that people are concerned about kids with dime bags in a time where people shoot each other in the street in broad daylight over nothing/street cred/talkin s**t about someone's mom/etc. we need to get our priorities straight in this country. and dont try to tell me dudes selling dime bags are the cause of gang violence on the streets these days. the real moneymaking drugs are cocaine, heroin, and speed.

Well, apparently, in reference to the thingy about Bill Buckley, you didn't know that it's not only illegal to smoke pot, but it's illegal to possess it - unless Bill met with another boat, a provider (so to speak), probably from Amsterdam, while in international waters, in which case, point taken.

By the way, anecdotally, Mary Jane works for some people who have MS. One or more of pot's chemicals go to that area of the brain where MS and a few other diseases, like Parkinson's, do their nasty work. Pot apparently reduces or relieves the symptoms of MS for these people.

Smoke on!

the only people who want to keep pot illegal are people who have never smoked it or stand to lose financially from its legalization.

i know a ton of highly-functioning, extremely productive members of society who smoke pot regularly. they are not criminals. they are not lazy sloths who sit around all day and eat cheetos.

if america would stop being such hypocrites (pot is way less addictive than alcohol, and nobody has ever died from smoking marijuana) and just legalize it, the country would be a much better place.

Time to write elected officials out it everyone! And one point to make to them is that this is America, a country in which you need a good reason to make something illegal, not nessasarily a good reason to make something legal. Compared to alcohol and tobacco, they have no good reason why pot is illegal. Time for 'sense'-able laws!

Please refrain from using common sense when discussing gov't policies.

Daily Horoscope for December 31

Aries

Someone wants to go their own way today and they won't care whose feathers they ruffle in the process. It's a lunar eclipse at the Full Moon in Cancer, so let them get on with it. The last thing you should do now is to hang on to their coat-tails or do anything else that will make them feel restricted. Make it plain that you've got your own fish to fry, thank you very much. And try not to let it stop you enjoying yourself. Have a great night!
