Would Legal Marijuana have "Angel Dust". Your argument sounds like a good reason to legalize AND control Marijuana.

I too think about the effect on kids. Surely nobody would want their child to grow up and become a pot head or dope dealer. Then why allow others to set examples by saying it's ok and making it legal.
I'm with Dreadnought, nothing good can ever come from it. Tom

What "good" is outlawing Marijuana? Our jails are full of "potheads", the "black market" is thriving and there is the possibility that purchasing on the black market could get one killed ie: robbed, tainted pot and exposure to other more harmful drugs. As I stated before, what good has the "War On Drugs" done? At least those who are for Legalization have come up some answer's but those who appose legalization have not given any tangible answers exept to continue the "War" and keeping the black market in business and makeing more money than ever. I would like those who are against the legalization and control of Marijuana to come up with a working solution. Let's here it, OK. Iven

President Obama smoked plenty of weed in his youth. How did he ever become a Senator and now President of the United States. Why is he not a "Zombie" whacked out of his mind? Why did he not get "addicted" to Marijuana? Why did he not go on to use Heroin?

Iven,
I can't speak for Obama but I can for Cody the four year old, he will never speak right himself because his mom thought it was ok to smoke weed while she was pregnant. Her friends convinced her marijuana was harmless to everybody. I can speak for Josh a recent new born who will probably never be right because his parents mixed Marijuana and God knows what. I can also speak for Summer, a cute little nine year old that lost her parents because they smoked a little too much and both ended up in prison. But still, you are right, there are no good answers to satisfy everyone. Stopping the users is the only real answer I see, and then the dealers will go away. But that's not about to happen. Tom

I suppose a ventriloquist has some right to speak for another - as entertainment.
Now about those who drink, smoke, eat poorly, convey anti-social ideas to defenseless children... we seem to have a market for alcohol and sick ideas so let's not fret over one while the others are taking thousands of lives a year - okay? drive safe - type safer j

Well it's all very well saying lets not fret but as we all know, the family members of a Pot Head person end up stepping into caretaker roles, which often requires them to change their daily routines or activities. A person with Pot Head tendencies often needs reminders and assistance when it comes to basic things like eating and bathing. Moreover family members of a Pot Head, unless they have received medical advice from a professional, often don't know how to react to the bizarre things a Pot Head will say or how to deal with a Pot Head episode.

J, I don't speak out for the little ones to entertain, I do it because they can't speak for themselves. I know all those above personally, and more. Not only am I obligated to protect children, I have a right to and feel good about speaking out for them when it's in their best interest. I say, let's leave the drugs with the doctors, okay.

I gave up both tobacco and alcohol decades ago because they were bad for my health, but as an ex drinker, and smoker I still have empathy for the addict.

What does your doctor say about you smoking marijuana?

I was hooked on tobacco for 45 years, gave it up a few years back. Just stopped cold turkey. Drank alcohol a little off and on but never got hooked on it. I never had any desire for marijuana. Had some friends that used it many years ago, but like most they stopped or either moved on to something else that killed them. Come to think of it, I don't know any older drug addicts.
I'm against any drug use simply because I've seen how it can destroy families. It's hardly ever just the user that gets hurt, other family members are usually dragged down with them. I don't trust any of the so called 'facts' about marijuana. I think most are just made up numbers by those who use it. Tom

Josh's parents should not do Marijuana laced with other "God Knows What" PCP? Heroin? Draino? Summer's Parents were thrown in prison? What did they do besides smoke Marijuana? Prison is a real problem in itself. Marijuana doesn't seem to be the main problem here. The problem was using adultrated Marijuana and using while pregnant. Going to prison is part of the War on Drugs. I don't say that pregnant Women should smoke anything but in jamaica Thousands of pregnant Women use Marijuana in various forms and I don't hear these horror stories about them. Also, the Majority of Jamaican's have used Marijuana for many purposes from the cradle to the grave. If Marijuana was so bad, why don't we hear about it? Jamaica should be in the news and those who are against the legalization of Marijuana should be plasetering the media with tons of horror stories to get their point across. I would still like to hear a solution to the Marijuana "Problem" from those who are against it. All I hear is how bad it is and no body should do it and it should be illegal. Well, it is illegal and thousands if not millions are doing it. Anyone have a plan, an idea of how to stop the use of this evil weed? I would like to hear a solution, not just stories. Iven

Thanks Al but it was an open question to anyone really. I was merely wondering what were doctors saying in general to people who are pot smokers.
