reasons to legalize it

- Its not fair to let people get drunk, and turn around and imprison someone who is using a safer substance. Force is not the right answer.

-It DOES cost more to try and endlessly enforce a law that isnt doing anything to stop the use at all, the use has grown while we have wasted billions trying to stop it, it simply isn't working and it is costing us more than money, its costing us innocent lives.

-We are taking otherwise law abiding non violent tax paying citizens and turning them into tax burdens, and in the process making sure they have a hard time finding employment with a undeserved criminal record.

-it does not match

growing plants in ones house for personal consumption is not a reason to....
-put someone in jail for years
-huge legal fees
-confiscated house, cars, and anything they feel necessary
-ruined families, not just one person, what do you think happens to the kids when mom or dad has to go to jail for years for marijuana, their lives are turned upside down, everything changes

ITS INHUMANE PERIOD, AND ABSOLUTELY WRONG!

It seems that the general consensus is that most people smoke marijuana. Though this is the case there are other ways of using this important medicine such as vaporization, this provides the medicine people need without all the ash and other chemicals like CO. Another way is eating the product either sprinkled over foods and baked or processed into butter that is then use in baking cookies and other confections. Smoking is passe’ and the science IS there for the reading. It is just that the department of Health and Human Services maintains the monopoly and control over its use. Currently seven people are provided cannabis in the form of cigarettes from the US government. Why them and not us. I know but perhaps you should look it up and get as angry as I was. Legalization is the only way.

Take the dollars SPENT on enforcement of current marijuana laws and the income that would be generated by taxing legalized marijuana and it comes to approximately 14 BILLION DOLLARS wour country/state would be in the black! I think it's a no brainer. Repealing alcohol prohibition got us out of the last depression. Pot is no where near as dangerous an intoxicant as booze. At least legalize medical marijuana.
