there are way much more important issues on the agenda then legalizing pot for God's sake? Are you crazy or just high?
Yes there are many important issues, however; the drug war is a big issue and a big failure! At any rate, I don't know about you, and no offense, but I take individual freedoms and liberties quite seriously, and don't seek to compromise another's unless their actions have caused harm to another person.

well, perhaps I'm being to snotty about it, but if someone needs it for medical purposes like seizures, then you all have my humble apology....and yes, it needs to be done, if this is the only thing that helps seizures....however, it must be controlled like any other drug perscribed by a medical doctor, right?
I honestly thought, the person who posted this was someone who simply likes to get high....so so sorry.
Couldn't have been more wrong. Thank you for shaking me awake.
If Chris Christie thinks Americans deserve the freedom to disease themselves from excessive calorie consumption, then he should not be a hypocrite and allow Americans the freedom to consume cannabis.

Tell that to the otherwise law abiding citizens who now have a criminal record because they got caught with some weed and are now finding it more difficult to get a job they're qualified for but denied because of the arrest. It's the failed war on drugs that's hurting so many, not the weed.
They are not idiots. They are political puppets owned and operated by big business and pharmaceuticals is one of the biggest.
I realize that there are a majority of recreational users who would like cannabis legalized, however the medical use possibilities are huge. If cannabis were legal a cancer patient could grow his own medicine instead of paying pharmaceutical companies $10k-$20k a month for a med with horrible side effects. One nasty side effect is going bankrupt to stay alive.
Secondly we the taxpayer are paying about $67k annually to house a minor drug offender incarcerated for drug, cannabis, possession and other trivial offenses. The legalization of cannabis would save billions by not jailing minor offenders. However, most prisons today are privately owned and a for profit operation. To maximize their profit then need to keep their cells full. Christie and the other political puppets will ensure they do.

I don't have a problem with using weed for medical purposes...but if you legalize it, you'd just have way more stoned people driving...and that is what I'm against. We have enough problems with alcoholics killing people on the road, we don't need to add to it.

yes, the med possibilities are huge, I for one have MS, and you'd better believe I'd smoke it now and then for the pain....however, I wouldn't drive high, just like I wouldn't drink and drive, but many people would....
and BTW, horrible to say but true....Cancer is a huge lucrative business....
