    Tell me again how smoking weed doesn't kill brain cells??
    Wtf? I never said it didn't kill brain cells. I said nobody has ever died from it.

    Since you insist on proof, here is the first hit on Google. http://drugwarfacts.org/cms/?q=node/30

      Come up with a plan on how to legalize it..(tax it, control it) Any plan I can think of usually fails after thinking about it for a few more minutes. Who ever is in favor of legalizing it, let's hear a game plan on how to do it and I'm sure plenty of people will chime in on how it'd fail. I can see de-criminalizing working(or at least working better than the current situation) but, I don't see that legalizing pot would be an easy task.. I'm sure Obama's got it covered already though.ha

        I'm going to step out on a limb here and say you're an idiot.

        Alcohol is by far more physically destructive than Marijuana (or even Heroin for that matter).

        This is a fact.

        Alcohol kills more people than all other drug use combined.

        This is another fact.

        and...

        Who the fuck is Kraig?

          It could be treated exactly like tobacco. Simple enough.

            Here is a good article..Cannibas doesn't "Kill" brain cells per se, but it alters the GABGnergic receptors..it actually may be protective in some CNS diseases...but like I said before it will cause Psychosocial problems.."Amotivational Syndrome."

              the thread was not on how to make it work for the government...the government is supposed to govern us. they made it illegal with misleading propaganda...history channel did a two hour special on it...its like they were recruiting for vietnam...however..

              weed could be legalized and taxed...taking money from drug dealing criminals and ghettos and putting it into the economy...just another easy way to bail us out. everyone needs to smoke once every ten years...relieves ten years of stress for one good night of smoking...stress is the number 2 killer...after american sportscars.

                I doubt pot smokers are any more amotivational than people who eat McDonalds everyday. Corporate America welcomes them with open arms.

                  Even as a "fan" I could care less about the legalization. All that would bring is stagnant growth in the market, declining quality, and all sorts of other commercialization issues. I'll take my drugs illegal, thank you very much.

                            Imagine, a $90.00 3.5g "Serving" that costs $17.36 for taxes, plus $127.50 every six months for the "License", and has the quality of mid level New Jersey Taxi Driver ass crack greens.

                                That's the thing, if it becomes legal, there won't be a "your guy". No need for an illegal market. Do you see an illegal cigarette market in the US? Illegal perennial flower bulb market?
