    Anyone that takes a stand on something at least should know what they are talking about and not just use the standard out of date
    propaganda that has been crammed down peoples throats for to
    long.
    There has never been any study to date that has stated that marijuana is addictive. There has never been death certificate
    with marijuana as the cause of death. There has never been anyone
    treated for an overdose of marijuana. And yet our government has
    it listed as a more dangerous drug than heroin.
    The legalization of marijuana would not cause a rise in criminal
    activity,in fact,it would have the opposite effect,because the only
    danger of marijuana is that it is against the law. Our prisons are
    full of non-violent criminals and more going in everyday,while
    politicians and executives of financial institutions steal millions
    and walk free.
    There were 800,000 drug arrests last year,and there will be more
    this year. The War on Drugs has proven they can't stop the flow
    of drugs into this country,and our laws have created a market that had a member on the Forbe's Billionaire list this year.
    And our own law enforcement agencies have proven that they can't stop the demand,no matter how many you put in jail.
    How long do we continue this insanity? When you lock up
    everyone that does drugs? If 800,000 people were arrested,
    8 million weren't,so we need to get busy building more prisons to
    lock all these people up. It would probably be cheaper to lock up the Baptists.
