The American people under media control are rapidly becoming vice addicts; eating, drinking, drugging, copulating, evacuating their bowels and snoring.

Criminalizing vices hasn't stopped that - but has enriched the criminals that meet the deamnd.

The growing vice addiction has infected the healthy portion of our society. Vice is not nice and the healthy portion has the right to control those that will harm it. For example if you off er my twelve year old marijuana and/or porn it’s jail time if I don’t take matters into my own hands first.

Nobody here supports legalizing vices for minors. Is that all you meant by "The growing vice addiction has infected the healthy portion of our society"?

You need to look into Chinese Medicine that has used it for only a few thousand years. As for study’s, would you spend a 100 million $ of your money for a product that is natural and can not be patented? No patent no profit. Big Medicine could care less about you! The faster you get cancer and become a $400,000 profit the better.

>>Legalize it and then increase penalties ten-fold
>>for causing any negligent harm to people or
>>property while under the influence of *any* intoxicant.

But, that sounds like accountability and the “cult-ure” doesn’t do accountability.

Maybe we should had out ribbons to everybody who fails a drug test instead? Sort of like how the NEA does track and field.

Heroin is a natural product. Cocaine is a natural product. Arsenic is a natural product.

All of these are natural and yet not really good for you.

His point was natural => unprofitable not natural => healthy.

Well, it’s indisputable that pot successfully treats the medical condition known as “wanting to get wasted”.

I can completely attest to the truthfulness of that statement. :-)

I hear the Nobel Prize is handed out like halloween candy too. Apparently, you don’t have to be good at all; all you need are “good intentions”.

"...there are much better alternatives currently available within medicine to treat any malady that marijuana supposedly helps...."

This is absolutely not true, FRiend, and belies an ignorance on the subject.

There are components in cannabis that are just now being studied; much of the study is driven by legalization in CO. The state mandated testing to confirm what is in the products being sold.

Most of these components are naturally occurring in other plants. For instance Linalool: It is the thing in Lavender that people find relaxing and calming.

Another example: Myrcine: This is also found in mangos and temporarily weakens the blood-brain barrier. That alone has profound medical importance.
