THE ABOVE SITES HAVE AS MUCH INFORMATION AS ONE CAN POSSIBLY NEED TO REALIZE THAT NOT ONLY WILL LEGALIZING POT HELP TO CURTAIL THE DRUG CARTELS FROM MEXICO AND SOUTH AMERICA....BUT IT WILL ADD CONSIDERABLE REVENUE TO THE PLUS SIDE OF OUR FEDERAL LEDGER.

 

ANNUAL DEATHS FROM POT VS ANNUAL DEATHS FROM OTHER DRUGS ....SHOULD BE THE FACT THAT PUSHES THOSE OF YOU WHO MIGHT BE ON THE FENCE......OVER THE FENCE AND INTO THE PLAYGROUND

 

And I can guarantee you that the majority of PEOPLE who are fighting the hardest to prevent marijuana from becoming legal....sit down a few times a week (and probably more) and pop the cork or flip the tab or twist the cap
ON THE MOST DANGEROUS DRUG IN THE WORLD

ALCOHOL

WHO'S DRIVING YOU HOME?
THE GUY WHO SMOKED TWO JOINTS OR THE GUY WHO HAD TEN BEERS?

THE SO CALLED COMPLEXITY OF THIS ISSUE IS REALLY QUITE  SIMPLE.......

THE MANUFACTURES OF ALCOHOL DO NOT WANT TO HAVE ANOTHER PLAYER ON THE SCENE......ESPECIALLY A PLAYER LIKE POT, THAT CAN BE GROWN ON YOUR BACK PORCH.

THE ECONOMICS OF THE SITUATION DICTATE THAT FIGHTING A  WAR WITH MEXICO AND SOUTH AMERICAN DRUG CARTELS CAN BE GREATLY REDUCED IF CANNABIS IS LEGALIZED.

And for those of you who say  "how do you tax something that can be grown on your back porch.".....please keep in mind that tomatoes can be grown on your back porch but going to the supermarket is a whole lot easier. 

Speciality stores that grow different types of weed at different dollar values will have no trouble staying in business.

and please note one very important item.......

I RARELY SMOKE POT.......AND WHEN I DID SMOKE I ALWAYS PUSHED THE CONCEPT OF JUST TAKING ONE HIT AND LETTING THE THC DO ITS INTENDED TRICK.

I'm not the consumer target for the legalization of pot......and I know quite a few people who shouldn't smoke it under any circumstances.......just like I know a lot of people who shouldn't be having a single drop of alcohol.....BUT

I think it comes down to moral issue........

PEOPLE WANT TO ALTER THEIR CONSCIOUSNESS FROM TIME TO TIME AND IF MODERATION AND COMMON SENSE ARE INVOLVED.....THEN THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE ANY RECREATIONAL TOOL THEY WANT FOR THAT ALTERATION.

USING A CONSCIOUSNESS CHANGING TOOL LIKE HEROIN AND COCAINE, THAT ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, IS NOT A GOOD SIGN OF HAVING COMMON SENSE

POTENTIAL ABUSE is a problem whenever someone steps out of their natural mental environment with the aid of an external ingredient.

The fact that nobody dies from abusing pot makes this entire debate non-sensical.

POT HAS BEEN PLACED IN THE WRONG CATEGORY WHEN IT COMES TO GOVERNMENTAL CONTROL AND EACH OF US NEEDS TO LET OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS KNOW THAT IT'S TIME TO CHANGE THE LAWS REGARDING THE USE AND THE CULTIVATION OF CANNABIS.

AND IT NEEDS TO BE DONE

NOW!
