We (as a general public) are going off what we have been told about marijuana. That it is bad for you. Which is not true. And has been proven many times by scientist. Hemp alone would do wonders for our economy. If we(as a general public) all get educated on the subject of marijuana..... it would be legal by now. So get educated and join the reform. We need to be free of being told what we can or can not do in our home when we are not hurting anyone. Marijuana doesn't hurt anyone (no one has ever died from it in history ...ever!). The laws that prohibit marijuana hurts more people than it helps. So do your self a favor and stop listening to all the B.S. And find out for your self the truth about Marijuana.

See the weeb site: http://tinyurl.com/lqmqqz Until this false belief can be changed, marijuana will probably remain a criminalized substance. The fact is marijuana is an extremely safe product. (No reported deaths in the 5,000 year history of its use.) People consume marijuana for the same reasons they consume alcohol. Why not offer adults the much safer alternative to alcohol?

Prohibition laws, by definition, violate the philosophy of liberty that was so fundamental in making this country great. An individual cannot accurately be called free if a government decides what substances he cannot knowingly, and willingly consume as an adult. Prohibition laws require a police state for enforcement, and imply that citizens are government property by contradicting the principle of self-ownership. This is unacceptable in a nation that claims to be the freest. Individual responsibility cannot be legislated into existence. Attempts to do so undermine the free individual because they are founded on the axiom that individuals in government posses a superior power of judgment that entitles them to impose their will upon other individuals through state power, whether the other individuals consent or not. The liberty movement in America is growing, and prohibition will end. Better late than never.

What makes The American Governmet think they can tell me what to do in my own house! If I sit on my living room and smoke a joint as long as I am not selling it or giving it to kids, going out on public, or trying to push it on anyone else I am not doing harm to anyone. The American Government needs a overhaul. Get the big corporations out of the whitehouse and get back to what this country was meant to be.

Locally a 64 year old man was set to prison for 15 for 5 plants in his back yard. He feared ending up like his wife who was put no Oxycontin in her final days and unable to function. We, as taxpayers, will pay to lock this guy up, feed him, cloth him, provide all medical and dental...Why? What threat to the public good is he causing? Where is his victim? Who is he harming? Is that a wise use of public funds when we are borrowing from foreign nations at an unprecedented rate?
