Federal bills introduced to support medical marijuana and decriminalize possession

[DerekWilson]

^^^ i think he meant to say that alcohol isn't smokey ...

maybe?

its sort of a blend though ... it is similar to alcohol (but safer) as an intoxicant and similar to tobacco (but safer) as a smokable ...

so it's not the "same" but it really isn't different either.

especially with the use of vaporization or food products containing cannabis.

Now there is an oxymoron if I ever heard one.

If you believe responsible adults can use alcohol responsibly, then your statement is null and void, and not worth the bits it took to upload nor download... and you should really have a good long think about it.

Perhaps EXman isn't responsible enough to post on message boards.

Hmm I guess some people belittle people with opinions that do not match their own.

Very adult of them.

I don't care for pot smokers, pot, drugs in general. I do not need to tell you why. And comparing it with alcohol isn't the same. A rationalization does not prove anything. You'd like to think that it is because it fits your agenda.

example having a pinic :
Hey want a beer with dinner honey or a soda?
or
Hey honey you want to spark up or have a cig during dinner honey?

which do you think might bother more people during dinner?

Not to mention all the Doritos would soon be missing! I have more reasons but trying to convince you why doesn't matter to me in the least.

I'm blah blah blah no you are wrong blah blah blah... no one changes their mind.
/end thread.

BLAH BLAH BLAH.

See 3 Attacks responses and that was just a lame joke. I've stated my opinion years ago. Go back and look for a thread 4-7 years ago. There is no REAL reason for me to state anything else. Potheads get all kranky and try to use logic to support smoking something that intoxicates you. Why bother... Keep attacking me no matter

You make no sense. What is your argument? Sounds like you just don't like people who smoke MJ.

Are you not for the legalization of MJ? If not, that also means you want cigarrettes and alcohol criminalized. I draw this conclusion because both cigs and alchohol are more harmful (fact), create more healthcare costs, cause more deaths, and have less benefit.

You can't be for criminalization of MJ and not for criminalization of cigs and alcohol.

Pick one.

I came to the conclusion last night that Ben & Jerry's Americone Dream should be classified as a Schedule 1 drug.

Nutrition Facts
Serving Size: 1/2 cup
Amount per Serving
Calories 280 Calories from Fat 0
Total Fat 15g 23%
Saturated Fat 10g 50%
Cholesterol 60mg 20%
Total Carbohydrate 32g 11%
Dietary Fiber 0g 0%
Sugars 24g

It's highly addictive, causes obesity and other health problems, and has no known medicinal use. I could have easily blown through the entire container, but like any responsible adult, I stopped after 1 serving because moderation is key.

I conclude, then, that Americone Dream is more dangerous to society than marijuana.

The waste of Federal and State resources investigating, arresting, trying, and incarcerating marijuana users, growers, and distributors is a heinous insult to the Protestant Ethic and Spirit of Capitalism which motivated such "Crazy unAmerican Radicals" as George Washington to raise hemp from the beginning of this country on forward.

It's always good to have a historical perspective on the subject. There was indeed a time when hemp was a big deal - in fact in the latter half of the 19th century Big Hemp (don't laugh, I kid you not, it existed) was this sinister industrial-agriculutral force that would regularly throw its weight around trying to suppress other industries.

While it is true the products made from hemp are not illegal, the hemp to make these products was grown in another country. If farmers could grow hemp in this country we would never have to cut down another tree to make paper. Guess who really, really doesn?t want that to happen. Not to mention clothing production from hemp and probably plenty of other uses I don?t even know about. I think they can make ethanol out of it too, but I am not sure on that.

Don't think the prohibitionist reactionaries won't be lying in wait to make political hay out of any ammunition they can come up with once it becomes a commercial market substance, either. They won't go away if its in their face as a new consumer fad. But if cannabis is just something that the people like to to use grow for themselves, I predict it will sink out of sight as an issue.

It's high time (no pun intended) for lawmakers to seriously address this issue with a modicum of reason and objectivity. The simple fact is, there are drugs in your community. There have always been drugs in your community. There will always be drugs in your community. There is nothing anybody can do to stop it. Nearly 40 years into the "drug war" not only are the drugs that they initially targeted cheaper, they're more potent.

The only question is who you want in control of this industry: government and private enterprise, regulating age restrictions, purity, potency, and quality, or criminals at gunpoint. One thing to keep in mind is that when Miller Lite and Bud Light are fighting for market advantage, all you get are silly commercials featuring bikini clad women - not 5 year olds getting gunned down in the crossfire.
