Cultural conservatives love this sort of big government. Cultural conservatives are all about imposing THEIR view. They only pay limited lip service to the concept of liberty. Liberty to them is the liberty to be just like them -- or else.

It's a good thing that people can't get high on bread mold or penicillan would be illegal. Of course though LSD is made from wheat ergot.

[Northpaw]

Ffffffffffffffffft......cough........cool.

Can't wait until they isolate the agent in marijuana that is therapeutic so it can be administered without the high. We'll see how many of these 'needy' make the switch.

Oh, yeah............legalize hemp man, you can make so many things out of it, man. We can revolutionize the paper and rope industry, man. Sustainable, low cost and fast growth, man.

[ChadGore]

It's amazing the hemp heads ignore what drugs has done to Columbia today.

[Mr. Lucky]

Dude! It's not like we're ignoring the reports man; it's just that we can't remember what they say. Hey, you got anything to eat?

I own my body and what I ingest is my own business. If other humans claim the right to use violence to prohibit me from ingesting any substance, they claim the right to enslave me. This includes the so-called regulated pharmacopia, which should also be deregulated. There is no provision in the U.S. Constitution for the FDA. I have the natural right to ingest both asthma medicine and heroine.

Prohibitionists are tyrants.

Marijuana isn't medicine for AIDS or cancer.

These are hardcore antiAmerican leftist groups you are propagandizing for -- not legitimate use of marijuana in a medical setting.

[Willie Green]

Why is there any need to conduct MJ "research"???

The evidence is already overwhelming that it turns your brains into mush.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Why the hell is the government in the drug and medical business anyway? Whats up with that?

[dark_lord]

The Christian argument for the decriminalization of marijuana may be stated thusly:

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. (Genesis 1:11)
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. (Genesis 1:29)
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. (Geneis 1:31)

If it is good enough for God, I am not going to contradict Him.

Umm, a so-called journalist by the name of 'Bruce Mirken' was arrested in 1999 for "attempted lewd acts" with a minor. Don't all anti-Boy Scouts homosexual activists fly thousands of miles to meet a 14 year old boy just to ... interview ... him?

Bruce Mirken

Gay journalist Bruce Mirken said today that he is "absolutely overwhelmed" by the outpouring of support he has received since the announcement of a legal defense fund to support his fight against charges stemming from a Sacramento Police Department sting operation. "It's gratifying that so many friends have stood by me, but what really amazes me is the number of total strangers who have helped out," Mirken said.

Mirken, winner of 11 journalism awards for his reporting on gay and lesbian youth, HIV/AIDS and other issues, believed he was investigating a possible story about a troubled gay teen last summer when in fact he was stumbling into the San Francisco PD's sting. When he went to meet the nonexistent youth, intending to interview him, he was immediately arrested for "attempted lewd acts" with the minor, charges he has vehemently denied.

Well, I dunno, marijuana hasn't gone through clinical trials, the potency isn't regulated, the Gov't hasn't approved it. I found all those arguments to be quite effective according to this article:

Health Supplements, RIP

[Mr. Mojo]

Of course ganja research is being ignored. Keeping it (and other drugs) illegal insures continuing profits (from forfeitures, payoffs from cartels, etc) and increased power over each of our lives (not just drug users). Why would the guvmint willingly give up power and money? On principle? LOL.

[A Navy Vet]

This is a damn outrage and I'm getting pretty sick of the the fedgov tactics on domestic law enforcement. I'd like to know what intel they had to suspect a violent resistance to justify such a raid. On the surface, this one is indefensible.

I also don't get why morphine is a legally prescribed drug and THC is not. Why are we denying terminally ill people a medicine that eases their last days? This is nonsense. Put me into whatever ideological category you want, it's just plain wrong-headed.

US Ignoring Marijuana Research

Oh no! We havent' bee ignoring it. We've been studying it for years, maaaaaan!!
We just talk about results being 'inconclusive' 'cause we, like, keep forgettin' ta write stuff down!
And, umm, uhhhhhhh....What were we talkin' about?
Oh yeah! Fire up another one, dudes! We're doin' research!

[rockfish59]

Marihuana doesn't cause drain bamage!

[Kevin Curry]

other illnesses . . .

Genital warts? Male pattern baldness? Heartbreak of psoriasis?

Steve Kubby has been dying of terminal cancer for a quarter of a century, and still the JBTs dog him for using his oral doobie suppositories to combat the insufferable pain as he lies gasping for life on his deathbed.

We'll he's not always on his deathbed. Sometimes he's out tending his marijuana farm.

[Libloather]

PLEASE name one individual in jail for smoking pot. Are there ANY?

This is your thread - no?
