Somebody in government may have read this book!! "The story SF Weekly broke on Friday is true: Assemblyman Tom Ammiano will announce legislation on Monday to legalize marijuana and earn perhaps $1 billion annually by taxing it." http://digg.com/politics/Legalization...
Hi all you fellow smokers. I totally agree that marijuanna should be legal. For years I have suffered with fibromyalgia and I have been on every prescribed drug known to man to try to deal with the chronic pain from this untreatable incuraable disease. Nothing has helped me but marijuanna everything else only worsened me by making me fat or just not working at all. However, when I smoke pot I feel so much better and I can function on a daily basis. I live in New york and Id like to know how I go about to getting a prescription for my medical use of it. Not to mention it is harmless and it totally helps me!!!
marijuana should be legal b/c it doesnt hurt. nobody has ever died from it. it actually improves your eyesight. it is a great pain killer.
Because there are 13 states that pot can be grown,smoked, and bought legally i live in louisiana and this state sucks come on it's 2009 legalize pot
Haha, i just read My Choice to Abuse Drugs, and now this... Scribd is a gold mine haha. I myself used to smoke the weed, and i have great memories from those days. But i do not think smokers should be against alochol and stuff. I think its exactly the persecuted user who should be "live and let live" people...
Marijuana is not addicting and good for the soul! It's a plant that God made so smoke it up!
it doesn't matter if it's illegal or not. smoke that **** anyways.
Marijuana is the most commonly used drug in the U.S. It impares you just as much and depending how much.. even less than being drunk.. Be equal and legalize marijuana.... its just another shot in a joint.
