Poll: Marijuana Law Reform

[loudshirt]

what a crock of bull! why is heroin even in the same discussion as pot?

the only folks I'm aware of that's got their lives destroyed by pot .. resulted from getting arrested for pot. NOT from consuming pot ... freaking unbelievable that folks actually believe the lies about pot.

pot should be compared to alcohol NOT heroin ... actually pot is substantially less harmful than alcohol.
the fact that pot is illegal is due to politics .. NOT factual basis .. it's all a big LIE!
sorry no matter how many time a lie is told .. it's still a lie.

evidently the big lie has succeeded in making folks like you believe that pot should be compared to heroin. (both schedule 1)
Philip Seymour Hoffman was a major star .. anything to do with him makes the news .. so what?

Again those people got arrested for possessing, buying,or attempting to sell an illegal substance.

I'm all for personal liberties and legal weed, but anyone who got their lives ruined from arrest got what they deserved. Whether islt should be or not, until change, it's still illegal. Along with personal liberty comes personal responsibility. Anyone who doesn't accept the results of their actions deserves no free will over judgement.

if it were illegal to own firearms, would you feel he same way about gun owners who got caught?

I don't see how pot is any more worse for wear than any form of tobacco product. At least good ol' Mary Jane has some medicinal purposes like preventing chronic seizures.

And yet many who support legalizing pot are very anti-tobacco. I do think pot should be legalized for medical use in some cases, and then real 20 year studies should be done on the long term effects before legalizing for recreational use. Get real results from a larger data pool before making a mistake that can ruin thousands of lives.

There is a great distance between recreation and necessity

Now this is the lie! Doctors and medical studies have been saying for years that pot is harmful. Yet another one from France says it can cause heart conditions and has been linked to heart attacks in people as young as their 30s. Many have linked brain damage or low IQ to pot as evidenced by some of the pro-pot post.

Funny that studies saying pot is harmful are blown off as lies, but some yahoo can post on the web a misquote that pot cures cancer and you folks fall for it hook, line and sinker. News flash, the studies say no such thing. They say pot may help in the treatment of some forms of cancer, but then studies have said the same about aspirin since it can help ease some pain. The people that spread these lies should be shot in my opinion. I have two sisters that are or have dealt with breast cancer. Imagine how the first felt when told that she was pinning her hope on a lie.

If you actually look at the data in the study that showed a *correlation* between marijuana and heart disease, the rate of heart disease among patients (2%) was over 80% lower than what the CDC reports for the general population (11.6%). The mortality rate (25%) was also significantly lower than the general population (72%).

What's so much more necessary about a man-made product (firearms) than a God-given product (marijuana)?

Tobacco has therapeutic purposes.

You are comparing apples to cargo containers.

Yep.

Prohibition of one requires believing that people outrank God.
