also...weed does not do the amount of brain damage we all think it does...it does VERY little brain dmg that we won't even be able to notice it. I have a friend who has graduated 3 years ago and he was a CRAZY pothead...he'd have about 6-10 sessions a day and guess what his avg. GPA was....4.33 and he got into UCLA and i have another friend in my grade who is also another pothead who is going to attend Pennsylvania University (ivy league)

Thank god someone else takes thought to pose an argument ,Tempest Storm, thank you. As for medicinal uses marijuana is a VERY effective anti nausia drug. This is great for people who are dangerously underweight from cancer or aids to name a few maladies. There is something called AIDS waisting syndrome that has paralells in cancer patients that basically mans that a patient looses a lot of weight to the point where it is physically dangerous.
Also I would like to point out that your tax money is paying for the imprisionment of people prosecuted for marijuana and the prosecution itself.
Also just to state somethin I should have stated earlier I would be happy if marijuana made it to schedule 4 or 5. Even if it were not legal for recreational use marijuana would be a great drug for sick people. I don't want marijuan legal to get high I want it legalized to help sick people and to put more room in prison for people who belong there.

I highly disagree even though i smoke it like 1nce a year...
if leagalized, everyone becomes a drug addict and the future aint gonna be friendly... government wanna legalize because they generate more tax. also does bad damage to your health. strongly disagree to legalizing pot

Here is a link that shows a reasonable way around smoking marijuana for medical applications. http://www.maps.org/news-letters/v11n1/11120gie.html
here is a better one on the same subject note the decrease in pathogens, and the refrences to institutions of higher learning
http://www.ukcia.org/research/VaporizerReducesToxins.html
This vaporizer reduces the toxins released, and makes it safer, I will edit in more links as I find them on this post.

In my high school, AP classes were weighted 6.0. I think I graduated with something like a 4.5 GPA, altho it doesn't really matter. High School is a joke.

To tell you the truth..
As some of you may know due to one of the threads I made before I absolutely hate the shit..but..if it were legalized..believe it or not less people would do it.
other than that..

hemp is the most usefull plant of the earth.(btw storm hemp is cannabis hence weed they same thning man)
it can be used to make clothes beter than cotton,its seed is better than soy by 10 fold.
it seeds also can be used to make fuel better than gasloine. http://www.erowid.org/
has a lot of usefull drug facts from scientist not the bullshit lyin goverment.
and as for trhe addiction it has none. you dont see people stealin stuff just so they can get a hit.comon its not crack people itsa ****in plant.
same as tobbaco but it unlike tobbaco it does not hurt your lungs,where tobbaco is an anti dilate to your lungs weed is a dilate hence it make your lungs expand.where tobbaco makes them tightin,hence the coughing when you take a hit of weed that you lungs expanding.and later i will post why it became illegal i have the story ina book i will post it later im kinda in a hurry right now so i have to dip i will talk more on this later .
legalize it
all thebelow taken from [its a comspiracy].
here are some facts about hemp in america.
hemp has a notable place in history.
washington and jefferson grew it.
our first flags were made of hemp cloth.
the first and second drafts of the declaration of independence were writtin on paper made from dutch hemp.
the first levi's were made of sturdy hemp cover alls.
abraham lincoln's wife came form the richest hemp-ggrowing family in kentucky.
the plants bi products remained popular well into this century
maple suger combined with hashish(a resin from hemp leaves)
was sold over the counter and in sears roebuck catalogs as a harmless candy.hemp rope was amin stay of the navy.
two thousn\and tona of hemp seed were sold annually as bird seed.the pharmaceutical industry used hemp extracts in hundreadsof potions and vigoruslyfought attemps to restrict hemp production.and virtually all good paints and varnishes were made from hemp-seed oil/and or linseed oil.
forwaring i am fixin to double post next it will be why it became illegal.

what happend
-------------------
in the 1920's and 30's,the american public became increasingly concerned about drug addictio.especially to morphine and a "miracle drug" that had been introduced by the bayer company in 1898 under the brand nname herion.
By the mid-1920's there were 200,000 herion addicts in the united states alone.
Most americans were unaware that smoking hemp leaves was intoxicating,however untill Wiliam Randolph Hearst launched a campaign of sensational stories that linked the 'killer weed'
to jazz musicians,"crazed minorities,"and unspeakable crimes.
Hearst papers feturaed headlines like
MARIJUANA MAKES FIENDS OF BOYS IN 30 DAYS
HASHEESH{SIC}GOADS USERS TO BLOOD-LUST
NEW DOPE LURE,,MARIJUANA,HAS MANY NEW VICTIMS.
i will finish this later tellm e what you think so far.

Anyone who calls large bodies of intelligent people fools is a fool.
WTF! What in the world does that have to do with smoking dope being legal?
And this folks is why my opinion isn't in the big box of idiocy.

im not finished yet shut up and learn somethin new and dont flame me.
in 1930 hearst was joined in his crusade against hemp by
Harry j,Anslinger(fbn).Hearst ofetn quoted Anslinger in his newpapersstories,printing such sensational comments like
"if the hideous monster frankenstein was to come face to face with the monster marijuana he would drop dead of fright.
not every one shared thier opinion.
in 1930,the us goverment formed the siler comission to study marijuana smoking by off-duty servicemen in panama.
the commission found no lasting effects and recommended that no crimal penalties apply to its use.
nonetheless,Hearst and Anslinger's anti-hemp campaign got results.By 1931,twenty-nine staetes,had prohibited marijuana use for nonmedical purposes.
in 1937 after 2 years of secret hearings and based largley on Anslingers testimony-congress passed the marijuana tax act,which essentially outlawed marijuana in america.
because congress wasn't sure that it was constitutional
to ban hemp outright,it taxed the plant prohibitively
instead.Hemp growers had to register withthe goverment,sellers and buyers had to fill out cumbersum paperwork,and of course,it was a federal crime not to comply.
for sellin an ounce or less of marijuana to an unregistered person,teh federal tax was 100$(to give some sense of how prohibitive teh tax was at that time.in1992 dollers,the federal taz would be roughly 2,000$ an ounce.
the marijuana tax act effectively destoryed all legit commercial cultvation of hemp.limited medical use was permitted but as hemp derivatives became prohibitively expensive for docters and pharmacist,they turned to chemically derived drugs instead.
al other nonmedical uses,from rope to industrial lubricants,were taxed out of existence.
withmost of thier markets gone,farmersstopped growing hemp and the legit industry disappeared.ironicaly though hemp countinued to grow wild all over the country,and its illegitimate use was littel affected by congress.
now we get into the conspiracy part.
i hope what i ahve writtin so far open's some of you'r eyes as to how it became illegal.
the hearst conspiracy
----------------------------
hemp was outlawed just as a new technology would have made hemp paper far cheaper then wood-pulp paper.
traditionally,hemp fiber had to be seperated from the stalk by hand,and teh cost of labor made this method uncompetitive.
But in1937-the year hemp was outlawed,the decortcator machine was invented;it could process as much as three tons of hemp fiber per hour and produced higher-quality fibers with less loss of fiber than wood based pulp.
according to some scientist,hemp would have been able to undercut competing products overnight.
enthusiastic about the new technology,popular mechanics predicted that hemp would become americas first 'billion doller crop".The magazine pointed out that 10,000 acres devoted to hemp will produce as much paper as 40,000 acres of forest.
According to Jack Herer an expert on the "hemp conspiracy"
hearst and DU PONTS,and other industrail barons and financiers knew that the machinery to cut,bale,decorticate and process hemp into paper was becoming available in the mid 1930's
Hearst one of teh promoters of teh anti-hemp hysteria,had a vested interest in protecting the pulp industry.
Hearstowned enormous timber acreage;competition from hemp paper might have drivin the Hearst paper-manufacturing divison out of business and caused the value of his acreage to plummet.
Herer suggest that Hearst slanted the news in his papersto protect his pulp investements.in teh 1920's and 30's he writes "
"Hearst newspaper chain led teh deliberate...yellow journalism
campaign to have marijuana outlawed.
from1916-1937,as an example,the story of a car accident in whihc a marijuana cigarette was found would dominate the headlines for weeks,while alcohol related car accidents(which outnumered marijuana -related accidents and it still does by 1000 to 1)
made only teh back pages.
Herer says that Hearst was even responsible for popularzing the term marijuana in american culture.in fact he suggest popularizing teh word was a key strategy of Hearst efforts:"the first stepwas to introduce the elements of fear of the unknown by using a word that no one had ever heard of before marijuana.
now i have other usefull info on this subject it is something i study so i ask you please dont rant and rave about something you know nothing about and if you want or need to hear more let mw know and i will post on this subject again.

roflmfao!!
that was pure gold c9!
Pot is for losers..legalizing it only for the fact that potheads wanna do it in public is retarded though which is why half the people wanna legalize it..also so they can't get in trouble.
Get in trouble? wait..u can't smoke cigarettes,etc.(in most states) till 18..what makes most 12-17 yr. olds(yrs?) able to smoke pot legally IF it is even legalized..your still doing something illegal until u hit the age set to be allowed to smoke it..
