In a free society, you don't need a valid reason to make something "legal". You need a valid reason to make something "illegal".

The push to criminalize marijuana in the early 20th century was completely based on fear, racism, and ignorance. Marijuana is less harmful than alcohol.

"Marijuana is a gateway drug, he said,..."

And hair will grow on your palms if you keep touching yourself.

I don't beleive more disinformation and out-right lies have ever been used in any other "anti" campaign. People have been methodically and purposely misled for years.

A naturally occuring plant is "illegal". Unreal.

..in recorded history there has never been a marijuana overdose

Ummm. I've read of at least 2 in the last year right here on FR. I'm about to head out of work, but when I get home I'll try to run a search and find the stories. I believe the articles mentioned the THC factor was higher (pun unintended) than they'd ever seen before.

Much better if we get drunk and watch the illegal Mexican invasion, right?

I recall one case where a UK coroner could find no cause of death, but did find THC, and so ridiculously concluded that the THC caused the death. Please do track down that other case; I'll bet it's just as good for a laugh.

This is the way I see it anyway (insert irony)

God made pot = bad
Man made booze = good

Also, Lindsey noted, marijuana is illegal.

LOL.

Why is it bad?

Because it's illegal.

Maddy, a local advocate for reforming marijuana laws, believes pot should be decriminalized.

The drug is harmless, he says, and prohibition destroys the lives of thousands of otherwise law-abiding citizens.

This "Crazie" doesn't know his butt from a hole in the ground and must be ignored.

Just another song of the "Sirenes" crafted to trap other numb noggins such as himself.

Well, can't argue with that.
