    This is terrific plain speaking from one of our most cogent commentators. I love the classy way he mentions his personal experience, too. Kudos to MPP and I hope to see more of the same.

    Jim Hightower is a very articulate speaker on the issue of Marijuana and I totally agree with him. I just wish that I had the speaking power that he has, because I find it very difficult to speak to people about the subject, especially those who will have nothing to do with any intoxicating substance. What I have found out is that these people that are hard to talk to have been brainwashed by the false propaganda commercials about Marijuana. What they see and think in their minds is the stereo type drug abuser image, which has been portrayed in movies and anti-drugs commercials. The fact is that movies that portray this behavior make for good storytelling entertainment, but do not portray the majority of responsible marijuana user or even those that are sick and in need of it.

    Marijuana is not a drug, it is a medicine that makes people think they feel better!

    If you can drink alchol and take pills that kill people why cant we smoke pot if we want to because it doesnt kill you the government claims they want better but they gives us the bad and keep us away from the good and another thing how can there be a war on drugs when the other side cant fight back or they go to jail we need a new government that gives us real freedom and real democracy our government is more like the mob that doesnt give a shit about americans and what we want its all about them and money

    Since Marijuana cant kill you and has been proving that it cant but everything that is legal can kill you and kills hundreds of thousands of people every year why is marijuana illegal and why are people in jail because of it
