Well, it's a little trickier than growing tomatoes, and it takes longer

Re: Washington, D.C., Approves Medical Use of Marijuana
As a few have already said just make it legal. It amazes me that you can go into a bar and put poison into your system yet smoking weed is against the law. Drinking makes a lot of people violent yet smoking weed makes people hungry and laugh. I don't use it but to me it's really just a waste of time trying to keep people from smoking it.

Re: Washington, D.C., Approves Medical Use of Marijuana
An excerpt from a memo issued by the Deputy Attorney General to all US attorneys (October 19, 2009):
Quote:
Even though they issued this memo, the DEA continued raids on individuals in Colorado who were in compliance with state law, but the Attorney General's office is taking some heat, because it looks like people in the DoJ are just ignoring their "guidance". It looks insubordinate.

Re: Washington, D.C., Approves Medical Use of Marijuana
I would also add for those who favor "taxing the shit out of it," if it's taxed TOO much, then you'll just see people going back to the black market for it. Don't make the taxes on marijuana too prohibitive or that will defeat the purpose.

Re: Washington, D.C., Approves Medical Use of Marijuana
I just hope I don't have to live next to one of these potheads again. I can't emphasize how bad your place smells when you live next to a smoker, never mind a stoner.

However what it definitely does do is impair motor function. I can't tell you how many of my stoner friends swear that it's safe to drive when they're high. Two of them ended up with DUI's because they failed field sobriety test while stoned. This can probably be reduced with education but it scares me how often people think they can drive when they're stoned. You can see from this poll that there isn't even an option that says "I don't drive when I'm high." Driving while high? - Marijuana.com Here's a simpler poll. 180 people say it's safe, 98 people say don't do it. Driving while stoned? Is it safe? - Page 12 - Marijuana.com I'm not totally against legalizing marijuanna. Personally I would love for nothing more then to hit gangs and the like were it hurts. However at the same time, my experience with pot smoking neighbors was so horrible that I'm hesitant to support such a cause with guns blazing.

Re: Washington, D.C., Approves Medical Use of Marijuana
Pot smokers come in all shapes and sizes. Just like non-pot smokers, some are lazy, some are dirty, some are stupid -- and, some are smart, some are clean, some are ambitious. I'm willing to bet we all know at least one person we'd never expect to smoke that does.

Ironically enough Dr. Drew Pinsky has cited many times that pot use among teens who are still developing can easily stunt brain development weather it be in terms of critical thinking or coping with emotions. On top of that a lot of the benefits are negated due to the fact that a lot of people championing the benefits of pot are smoking it rather then safely vaporizing it. Thats like me eating a pound of lean hamburger in one sitting and then saying it's healthy because it's low fat. Either way I think theres a lot of misinformation out there. Before it was a drug that would make you commit mass murder now it's a drug that cures practically everything.

You smoked pot as a teen, didn't you?
