People are working on developing new strains of pot to treat certain conditions. Some pot makes you sleepy. Some really good pot keeps you more alert but you feel real good.
Because of politics and hypocritical thinking, this country is losing money, missing opportunities of a drug with potential to treat illness, and throwing good people in jail for responsible use of a substance, compared to alcohol and tobacco, is so much safer.
People are leaving the country to escape trumped up pot charges that would put them in prison for years.
The law regarding personal use of marijuana is absolutely ridiculous but some politicians will have to have the nads to fight it.
This country lost 3000 people on 9/11. Get the FBI and CIA out of the marijuana war, which they will never win, and put them where they can possibly do some good. That is, if they can quit blaming each other and actually do their job. Most pot these days comes from your neighbors plant. If you live on an average block of houses in this country, someone is growing more than roses on your turf.
I don't know who may have seen Peter Jennings special on pot 2-3 years ago, maybe longer. Excellent information that showed how much pot is being grown in this country and all of the other issues surrounding the evil weed.
How can you throw someone in jail for an ounce of pot while some drinker, after seven DWI's still has a license? It happens. I'm tired of this hopelessly stupid policy that our tax dollars are funding. It's wrong.Duck!
