Another little tidbit to support legalizing it. Have you ever tried medical marijuana?? Holy crap, 1 hit and you are in heaven--because it is "Pure" clean marijuana. I don't smoke pot, but when I did I realized that making it illegal actually harms users. Because it goes through many layers of dealers, and some of these dealers mix bud with the non-thc parts to fatten up their bags -- they then "spray" the double sized bag with raid and other nasty chemicals to give a "high" effect, but not a good one.
FYI: Pretty sure there's no such thing as "medical marijuana" specifically, unless you're talking about the pill form of marinol. Most of the medical product here in California is grown by patients/citizens, and sold directly to the cannabis clubs... it is probably cleaner than what you'll get from a street dealer, but the government plays no part in producing the club's medical pot.
We've basically just found a way around marijuana laws, by filtering it through the scam known as "medical marijuana clinics." And this is coming from a "patient" herself, so you know I'm not biased against the product or the process. I just see it as a silly debate, since something like 12 states have already found a way around this law. Might as well just legalize it at this point, giving the government some control over quality, and filtering that money back into the state. These clubs are making millions upon millions, which is money that could really help to dig us out of debt. We're going to smoke it anyway (as I did even before Prop 215), so why not give that money to the state?
I'm sure most of you have heard the phrase that the only people who support marijuana legalization are people who smoke it. While that is in fact true, atleast for the most part, I still don't understand the potheads. Sure, they want it to be legal so they can get their fix, and continue using harmful and illegal substances (which wouldn't be illegal if they had their way). Most people are opposed to legalization of illegal drugs, but I just don't get why some people think it's a good idea to make it legal? People who say "it puts innocent people behind bars" are idiots. Innocent people don't use illegal substances. There is no reason for marijuana, or any other illegal drug, to be legalized. You don't want to go to jail? Don't use illegal substances.
The only legitimate use for illegal drugs is for medical purposes, but if you just want to go get stoned and/or feed your addiction, then it's not okay. And people who say that marijuana is not addictive at all are full of ****. People get addicted to marijuana all the time and they suffer from it, just because you got lucky with a joint once or twice, doesn't mean that everyone is immune to become addicted and/or dependent. I really don't understand marijuana legalization people. No intelligent individual supports and/or endorses an illegal activity, yet a select few uneducated persons seem to support the use of marijuana, which is an illegal activity.
I trust you feel the same way about alcohol, right?

The State should tax the schit outa corporate doughnuts and leave natural things alone.

The only problem that I have with drugs (all illegal drugs) is the same problem I have with supplements/vitamins. There is no QC, or regulations, on the product.
I think that we'd be better served as taxpayers to expand our federal oversight of the FDA to insure that drugs/supplements are what they say they are and at the dosage that they claim to be. We are stuck in a puritanical belief system that concerns itself more with the demonization of compounds that have become entrenched in the human idea of existence then it does the understanding of how to make these substances safer.
I bring supplements into the argument since anyone can walk into a store and purchase chemical compounds that are often poorly labeled, characterized, or tested for purity at the level that any chemical sold for consumption should be.
Does anyone really think the government should be in control of the quality of weed? thats the worst idea I've ever herd of, y'all better look at the tabacco and perscription drug industry.
I still don't understand marijuana legalization people.

Your little rant shows very clearly that you don't understand...
No intelligent individual supports and/or endorses an illegal activity,.....
Lest we forget one more part of your silly post....
Let's examine history. I think I remember from history class that a certain George Washington, Ben Franklin, Thomas Payne, John Adams and a bunch of other "intelligent individuals" engaged in and supported an illegal activity called the REVOLUTION about 240 years ago.
And throughout history many intelligent people have engaged in and supported illegal activity including fighting slavery, fighting alcohol prohibition, etc.
