There are so many things that would be improved, as opposed to damaged by legalizing marijuana. Just a few: New medicines for everything from alzheimer's to cancer treatment; a stronger more durable fiber that can be used for everything from clothes, paper to composites for construction; a significant freeing up of prison space for REAL criminals; buttloads of MONEY to be made (maybe this will get politicians attention) from taxing marijuana and selling licenses to stores (just like a liquor license) who sell it; biofuel production that won't cut into the corn-chip supply, and seeds that can be made into a non-intoxicating supply of food for starving people. Also would we have any trouble w...

Also would we have any trouble with Mexican immigration if that country was rich with LEGITIMATE profits of a huge marijuana cash crop? Ok, enough of this rant. In short MARIJUANA GOOD!
Oh, and legal pot would make my Saturday night much more enjoyablle. If this country is now serious about solving problems and fixing mistakes, this is a good place to start.

DID SOMEONE SAY Spam? Let me enlighten you Debbie

Spam

It used to be a way of life,
at least here in the South.
Like collard greens, streak o lean,
and "Lawdy shut my mouth."
Somewhere it became a sin,
it's leader now a sham.
I might die tomorrow,
but I'm still eat'n spam.

Grandma used to serve it up
baked n fried n battered.
She'd let me heat the bacon grease,
and shield me when it splattered.
I'm proud to stand right up and say,
"I have slurped the jam!"
Hate me if you want too,
but I love eat'n spam.

Fancy folks with silver spoons
who keep their pinky's raised.
Will never know how apropos
when charred and mayonnaised.
So slice up some tomatr's,
and fry it...

Breakfast, lunch or dinner,
I'll have mine with spam.

Legalizing pot in the way you folks speak of IS NOT the answer!
1) Letting the government lay hands on it will only cause more trouble. It will end up like the cigarette industry. They (the powers that be) will most definately start with the additives.

2) Like in Mich. where they just decriminalized it. This does NOTHING for anyone. Sure you get a ticket for possessing an ounce or less, but it doesn't do anything to keep the kids away from harder drugs. People assume pot leads to harder drugs but that's not true. What leads to harder drugs is the enviornment pot is sold in. 9 times out of 10 the pot dealers also sell harder drugs. It's this environment that leads to h...

3) The only way to make pot work in America is to do what they do in Amsterdam. Let the growing be done by private businesses. Open Cafe's to adults. Over time it will stop the street sale of pot. The pot dealers will not have the buyers they had, because people can pop in a Cafe and get a buzz on. This will either put them out of business or force them to push only the hard drugs.

4) the extra income going to Big Brother for the sale of pot in Cafe's can be used to crack down on hard drugs.

IMAGINE an America where pot is the source for getting hard drugs off the streets.

Me personally....... I have a good imagination. Been smoking the stuff all my life.
