After witnessing the suffering,pain my mom endured with breast cancer and it's ultimate death grip upon her back in September,she, never one to take prescription drugs for pain (which go through the liver), would drink her beer/wine for some relief.Utlimately what happens is the alcohol coupled with the chemo therapy drugs, being pumped through the liver, she ultimately died of liver failure. Had she been allowed to smoke pot to ease her pain, she would have lived a lot longer since pot doesn't effect the liver and her liver would have been in better shape to take several more rounds of chemo as well. Until you witness someone go through it, it's hard to explain.One day it'll be state law in some form IMO.

The one thing that hurts the medical marijuana cause is the fact that some of these hippies embrace the cause and piggy back their agenda on the backs of real life medical victims. It is so transparent. If they would just come out and say that they want to smoke weed recreationally, then that is more acceptable than for these guys to demagogue the issue and use these victims as their stage props for their desire to smoke on weekends.

Sorry to hear about your mom's situation, but it really steams me when these hippies take a situation like your mom's illness and try to advance their pseudo-humanitarian agenda.

Marijuana should be legal period. It's no more damaging than alcohol or tobacco. Hell, I'd say it's less damaging than both.

I'm in favor of legalizing marijuana.

Unfortunately trying to give it an air of legitamacy by not excluding he potheads will be difficult.

If people want to use weed for cancer or other medical problems, I am 100% for it

But, I am still in favor of keeping it legalized for standard, regular use

Legalize it and tax the crap out of it!

My *ahem* feelings on marijuana usage are probably pretty well-known by now, and I agree in full. There could be a lot of tax dollars generated from the legalization, and most recreational users would gladly trade the taxation for legalization. Everyone wins really.

And just think of the jobs that would be created in the snack food industry.

Just think how well you would do if you timed it right and bought some Frito-Lay or Hostess stock just as the law went into effect.

You would get 0 tax dollars if it is legalized because people would be growing the stuff in their homes.

Not really, heck, a friend of a smoker could grow reefer at their homes and pass on a few buds to them. Why would a smoker go out of their way to pay for reefer that is taxed to death when they could very easily grow their own or go to their neighbors/friends and break off some weed for next to nothing?

I would imagine if it was legalized for sale, it would still probably be regulated somewhat. Like alcohol.

You can brew beer in your home. I have a friend that gives samples away from his home brew occasionally.

Would be the same way with reefer, only a lot easier. Not too many people want to invest the time, money and effort to brew beer, but any fool can grow a few pot plants.

growing weed and growing good, potent weed are two very different tasks. one is very simple and the other takes time and equipment to do it right (ie. the time, money, and effort).

I totally disagree. While it would be cheaper to grow it yourself, its not easy to do, and there are water costs, nutrient cost, and the energy bill cost for the lighting. Any good seeds have to be ordered from a seed bank, usually out of Amsterdam, and the import of those is illegal. There is also the hassle of having to conserve watts to keep your your utility bill down; its common knowledge that utility companies look for jumps in energy use, and cops now have a tool to detect high levels of heat behind walls, i.e. plants growing. Most growers would glady stop growing and just pay the tax.

Oh please....I know plenty and I mean PLENTY of weed smokers and not a single one would ever grow their own weed. The brewing your own alcohol is a perfect comparison...

I am sure some would make their own but it would be an incredibly small minority

I think it's funny that people think that marijuana smokers would do anything en masse that would require initiative.

Well, there are as many functioning, ambitious marijuana smokers as there are lazy bums, but growing your own pot is a whole different story. Personally, I would take the easy way and just hop on down to the gas station, I don't have the time to be a horticulturalist.
