No Down Side!!
After forty years I am ready to fight to keep my weed of choice. It is safer non addictive than many legal drugs millions take every day! My father and his father both died of alcohol use I watched both of them die it kills you liver kidneys and will KILL YOU!! It is legal and the alcohol industry also gives millions to PACs to keep our weed illegal. It is estimated if free Americans had a choice the legal alcohol industry would lose 40% of there market share. That is why they pay our so called leaders (house/senate) and they put us in jail destroying lives to ensure corporate profits.

I happen to agree with the facts-----being that marijuana is indeed a medical need for meds. Very much for the people that are in a lot of pain and cancer ridden. O yes a lot of the people smoke weed just for the trip's as well. Here is a idea. legalize weed and there will be no more problems with the legal part of it being not legal. Used in the proper method--I don't see any thing wrong with it--and the people that smoke it for medical purposes. Another good question would be ---where does the marijuana go when the law gets a hold of it???????? Is it destroyed--I don't think so--so what happens to it then????
