Tell that to my mothers ex husband, it didnt stop him...

what else would you expect left coast liberals see nothig wrong they are idiots and useless

My old boyfriend was a women beater all the while smoking pot so i think pot does not make mean evil men nice

Why yes I have heard of people beatging their wife and kids while high on pot and to top it off more people will be driving drunked and drugged.

I think by far the ultimate in deadly gateway drugs is nicotine.

No I havent HEARD of any beatings but I HAVE come across examples of people smoking pot and 1) impacting their driving, 2) neglecting their job and 3) some family responsibilities...more like acts of ommission no commission.

Hey John,

Ever heard of the walk up the drug ladder starting with POT? Hell if POT is okay, then why not Coke, Heroin, crystal meth, rock cocaine, etc. It would be a great idea, why solve problems just get all f&(ked up, and say cool man. Then maybe Barack can find a tax base for all his wonderful unfunded plans... I say no, it is a bad idea...

thank you
Bob

then go back to amsterdam

evrey time my oldest brother got stoned on pot he beat his wife and 14 year old boy untill they put him in jail for 8 years , im the one that called the law on him and beleave me heas not the only one .

fuck that legalize idiots it gives drug dealers no job and its freedom of chose nothing more if crack was $5 a oz crack heads could afford to put diapers on there babies and wouldnt have to sell there ass but its not about the people and all the benifits of no overcrowdin in jails no more murders over drug deals, freedom its about goverment control and there is more money in arresting u and charging court costs probation fees drug classes rehab the list goes on its a drug world people ask anyone over 55 and they will tell u without there pills they would be useless so please let the world smoke in peace and open up a safer tomorrow for it

Why is the same person posting over and over that someone somewhere beat someone on pot? If they did that, that person has serious problems unrelated to the drug and would do so without it. Pot relaxes a person's mind and body. Alcohol is the more likely drug to cause spousal abuse. As for the idea that people graduate to harder drugs due to pot use... pretty ridiculous. It's just that people that do harder drugs also smoke pot. Honestly, if tobacco never stops producing the minor buzz required for a nicotine addict to get their fix why would you believe the stronger high from marijuana would eventually vanish? It doesn't. A tolerance builds, but can easily be lost by not smoking for a week. By the way, not smoking pot for a week isn't hard, as it's not addictive.

You can try to make this an issue of conservative vs. liberals, but in reality it's about personal freedom, and a huge double standard that allows for thousands of deaths a year from two legal drugs while prohibiting one that has yet to provide a single death statistic. Also, a Republican who ran for the republican ticket, and probably stood a better chance than McCain, named Ron Paul is in full support of legalization, so don't try to make this a "Liberal" or "Obama" thing. That's just ignorant.

Yo Hook, why don't you do everyone a favor and shut the fuck up. I think it was the 'left wing liberals' who gave you your right to free speech back when Britain said "No". Asshole.

No-way sandy pot didn't make him do it... he was gonna do it pot or not, if you know others who smoke the last thing you wanna do is beat on people...Eating, sleeping, being stuck on the sofa or sex are way higher on the list of to-do's!!! Your dude might have been a Meth-Head!!!

To the nay sayers ......go visit a nursing home with Cancer patients, chronic pain, back pain that NOTHING helps and tell us if you'd smoke it. It's long overdue for medical purposes. I'm not for selling this drug on the streets to kids, but if you study cases in America and you really read and use your brain...this is a good cause.

I hate too tell you but my ex-husband beat me and was high on only marijuana! I agree that it should be legal, but just wanted to give you heads up on your arguement!

So many people go out and get high anyway they might as well legalize it and tax the heck out of it. Our police force might start to focus on more important things.
But really? Do that many people want to get high that often? Is reality too much for them? For the weak in my opinion.
Also, drinking and driving might be worse but really when youre high as anything on bud people are totally out of it. I've talked to people who cant even converse in conversations because theyre so high and they drove home
haha I think a lotta people on this website must be druggies because all the posts supporting marijuana are ranked full stars then the ones against it are ranked at nothing

I would be a little ashamed if America finally legalized drugs. i mean i understand the alcohol being legal argument and it's just as bad but alcohol has just been constituted in society for so long and there's so many types and it's much more of a luxury item in some situations.
all in all America should be a drug free country forget these pot heads who drag down society

hey im getin the munchies just reading about all these comments go nomal yes

You are so right. Pot power to the people, who don`t start wars!

I'm all for prohobition. They don't call booze "liquid courage" for nothing. But then again....I like watching drunk people.....they are FREE ENTERTAINMENT.
