What's funny is the fact that people call it a "gateway drug" when nicotine is one of the most addictive drugs out there.

The side affects are really no greater than alcohol.

AND it costs us BILLIONS of tax payer dollars a year to fund police efforts to surpress it.

Remember Prohibition? Made the Capones filthy rich. Pot does the same for many other gangs and cartels.

I'm for legalizing it and taxing it. I think you would find crime go down as a result and we'd be saving incredible amounts of tax money.

I would like to add, although i am no medical doctor yet, my best friend is a pharmacist and according to him marijuana does not reduce nausea. It can be used to treat pain though. Just a side thought.


Yes, there WAS a time that alcohol was not even legal. Then they decided to make is easily available. They did not even have a proper test to detect if somebody had been drink until a few years ago. Before the breathalyzer came out a few years ago you had to touch your finger to your nose.

I say treat it the same way as the cigarettes and alcohol. 19 years to buy, and tax it. With the economy the way it is, it would not only save them money with the courts, but it will also help put money into the government pockets.

And your friend may say that it does not reduse nausea, but I find that it helps.

Thanks for your post.


flowerforyou To be more exact he said it didn't have any nausea reducing properties. However drugs have different reactions with different people. It could be psychosomatic, or it could just have a different affect on you.flowerforyou

This is one thing i am learning. No two people are the same.
Granted thank you.flowerforyou

I like it the way it is right now

not so much a penalty for posession (I remember when a joint was worth life in prison in Texas)

and illegal enough to keep the corporate goons out of it
