What is your take on the issue of legalizing marijuana?

i think its rediculous that it isn't legal. I am sure you have all heard the comparison between etoh and MJ. Why isn't alcohol illegal considering all the harm it does. A friend of mine in the government who works in Holland told me that in Holland that they pased a law that your bodily fluids couldn't be held against you (no pun intended).

I also know of two medical problems that have been help[ed immensely using MJ. One is for ashma (it opens and relaxes pulmonary functions) and one for pain and nausea related to Cancer and Chemotherapy.

Can you imagine the senseless destruciton of lives, this law has made, and now to overturn this law, this is something that should have been done centuries ago.

Medical use only

I would have loved to have been able to obtain MJ legally for medicinal use for my dad when he was terminally ill with cancer. He was a 6 ft man that dropped from 250 pounds to 140 pounds by the time he died because he couldn't even keep jello or three bites of chicken noodle soup in his stomach without getting sick. Sometimes he would tell me all I want is one last meal. And what he wanted wasn't even a meal. He just wanted to be able to taste food again and take some bites of it. And not to mention the pain that he went through. His last days at the hospital he maxed out all the pain medications he could have and he was on morphine too. Thank god he spent his last three days in a comatose state. This was a man that didn't go to the doctor even if he had pneumonia. Sometimes he would just lay there in the bed and just shake so badly from being in pain and just cry. Sometimes I could not even bring myself to go and stay with him because he was in such pain but I did anyways. So until people out there have a loved one that has been terminally ill and been so sick with pain they shouldn't talk about MJ being immoral... It may cause people to do immoral things while high but the drug itself is not immoral since it is a herb basically. Just my two cents but what do I know, I'm not even a nursing student yet.

Legalizing it would: solve prison overcrowding,(135,000 inmates are in for mj offenses) help pay down the national debt, reduce crime and gang activity, reduce the drug trade with other countries, (less money that could be used for terrorism),allow gov't control making it safe and pure (no PCP, etc.), provide a cash crop for our farmers(it's already the number one cash crop in America!) I'm sure there are more good reasons...

This country will never legalize something that fuels its criminal prosecution system, even with legalisation, MJ stays in your system too long (28-33 days) certain Bible toating states would have a field day with field testing, imagine the amount of revenue generated for Public Intox/ DUI. s with wolves
