I've lost interest in trying to prove that marijauna should be legal. I've just taken the approach that don't stand in between me and my freedom when I'm harming no one.

I say that violently.

I concur
If someone wants to get their smoke on and not bother anyone in the privacy of their own homes why should anyone else care?

It really pisses me off when some Americans or the government feels that they can invade on other citizen's freedoms when they cause no harm to others.

Posts like this are just down right silly. While one person makes a mistake on pot thousands kill each other on the roadways drunk out of their minds and marijuana is the bad guy. I remember a case where partiers high on LSD baked a baby in the oven. Recently a 100 year old man ran over a bunch of kids. The drug king in the south is prescription drugs and meth labs. Drug store are being robbed for their pain meds and the money goes untouched. How often to you hear of any crime committed while the person is high on marijuana? Now how many DUI's do you hear about?

25% of our prison system is people with minor marijuana drug charges. Each one of these cost taxpayers $28,000 annually to hold behind bars.

The truth is that if American pharmaceutical companies could find a way to patent marijuana it would be in every drug store throughout the world reaping huge profits. The only reason it is illegal is because our politicians are controlled by big business and pharmaceuticals are one of the main puppet string pullers.
