There is not an existing proof of anyone dying to a marijuana overdose, but this won’t preclude the alternative of going through adverse or simply unpleasant effects only when it’s consumed in considerable amounts. For comparison’s cause, alcohol overdoses lay claim approximately 5, 000 casualties per annum. This might be cited being a reason this marijuana is without a doubt safer when compared to other drugs, like beer.

I can say that I have never smoked marijuana, but this documentary changed my viewpoint (to support its legalization) and shed light on the amount of misdirection, propaganda and falsehoods that surround marijuana.
Its called The Union

Honesty this is a very good documentary. Pretty long, but it discusses all of the topics that relate to Cannabis; and more importantly discusses the SCIENTIFIC FACTS about cannabis, which are provided by people like Dr. Lester Grinspoon, MD Professor Emeritus, Harvard Medical School if you are wondering about accuracy or credibility. It also goes over the reasons why the American government has switched its position on cannabis over the years… which is rooted in racism btw…watch it

Oh it’s so damn simple. Decriminalize the sale production and sale of Pot. But make it illegal to smoke too much of it. Just like booze. You can buy all you want. But just don’t drink yourself into a coma. Or get behind a wheel of a car, after two drinks. Or even just walk around, unattended, total blitzed. Or they’ll haul you off to jail, to sober up. The only ones really scared about pot being sold legally, is the Tobacco industry. They don’t want any cheap competition, from a plant anyone could grow in their backyard. The legal status is what keeps it a high priced commodity, and a dangerous one to distribute. Imagine if Heintz and Del Monte kept it illegal to raise your own tomatoes. Their price would be sky-high. And illegal veggie farmers would operate like drug pushers. There’d be turf wars, etc. You do know that at one time they though tomatoes were poisonous? No doubt pot has been overly demonized too. It can’t be any worse than alcohol. And the US dropped its ban on liquor sales after 1933. In the US people probably drank far more when it was illegal, than after it was legalized. Legal pot will probably become “old hippy smokes” in a very short time.

It’s those more serious chemical addictions they should be really worried about. And the feds aren’t doing enough to regulate sales of the base chemicals involved in making that sh*t. So the chemical industry is getting off scout-free as being suppliers of the problem. And Tv and the movies won’t touch drug abuse, the way they do racism, the occult, and gay rights. Like people in Hollywood don’t do heroin or meth. What’s that? What hypocrites!!

Also funny how the people who supposedly advocate small government and personal responsibility forget those principles when butting into others lives on supposed “moral” grounds.

Hey its the JHill bot spamming up the blog. The wonders of modern technology…

Your living in a dream world if you people in California think that the Federal Government is going to allow you to legalize anything. You have not had much luck with Medical Marijuana, why would you even think this is going to be any different. There are too many DEA agents with a vested interest to allow this to happen.

# 50 hhopper said, “If they legalize marijuana, what happens to all the people that are in prison on marijuana charges?”

There’s almost no one in CA state prisons on Pot charges.

Non-issue.

Funny how people who want to legalize drugs tend to be the people that want to ban smoking…

I’m not trying to change the subject but if we made old man with young boy sex and old man with young girl sex legal maybe they’d let us smoke our pot..?

By the way, National Review has been endorsing legalizing drugs for decades.

Just watch the first 2 or 3 minutes, and you'll understand why your parents and grandparents are so afraid of "Reefer Madness." I suppose if you're stoned, you could watch the whole movie. There is a "full screen" button.

The people of which you speak are MORONS. Some people handle it, hold down a good job, live wonderful lives while others as you mentioned don’t have the psyche to regulate it and thus end up having a shit life…..

As to your point about theft, who ever stole to pay for a $10 bag of puff?
