Care to expand a bit on you mentioned in your post ? Don’t get it. Have a nice Friday …

I usually agree with your article content, but in this case I am sorry to say that I do not share your views….

Now I am one who believes that Marijuana should be a free growing plant as God provided it that way for people to use responsibly as it was intended. Not everyone gets cancer by smoking tobacco and not everyone gets cirrhosis of the liver by drinking alcoholic beverages or even become alcoholics. However it has been proven that many people who overindulge in just about anything including healthy foods are affected adversely in some way or another. I can go on with the truths of this line of thinking, but the point I am trying to make is that God’s says “Let my holy plant grow and let it be used by those who need it, as I intended it to be” The point here is that the USA gov. does keep allowing and taxing the sales of fire arms, tobacco and alcohol, which have been proven to be deadly to some, but it has made illegal the substance of Marijuana which has never been proven to kill anyone, if not in association with some other drug or alcohol involved.

The fact of the matter is that many lobbyist push for laws of (soberisms) or purity, which is an idealistic delusion. The very fabric of our flesh is never pure, nor will it ever be according to scientific and biblical scripture. Yes there are some who always abuse just about anything including Marijuana, whether it be legal or not. What I propose is to make it legal and add a reasonable sales tax for it, to help those in need. I suggest that as long as a doctor can give one the go ahead to be a user, an ID card should be provided tracking it sales to whom. New laws will have to take place in accordance with its use; such as a public nuisance laws under the influence of Marijuana, one will be warned the first time, will be fine a minimal fee the ssecond time or incarcerated over night. Driving soley under the influence of Marijuana will also have minimal fines. No can be allowed to work around dangerous equipment under the influence of Marijuana and so on. The Id card will track abusers and they will be dwelt with under an abuser law which desecrates the purpose of Marijuana. One can not be allowed to mix the substance of Marijuana with other medications unless approved by ones medical doctor. Before receiving the Id card there should be provided a short course on how to, where, and when and for what purposes one can use Marijuana. Of course if not priscribed by a medical doctor, there should be a youth age restriction for its use, with severe penalties involve for the deterance of their use. This is because young people do not have enough maturity to have learned why one must respect the use of Marijuana. One more thing, smoking Marijuana in public places openly, where there are people who do not smoke should be illegal and penalized with a fine. Night clubs should have a well ventalated designated area for such things and should be prohibited to sell it to those drinking alchol in their facilites. I have heard and read all the pros and con arguements about this subject and I have concluded that Marijuana is no different than anything else God has provided for us in this world to use wisely. I rest my case.

Who are these people who influence our politicians to act on these types of laws that waste our tax payers money. I do believe if the people who created slavery and passed laws towards racism where alive today, they would be judged as criminals towards humanity. As such all politicians who had a hand and supported in passing these types laws should be judged as criminals and be incarcerated as such, so they can feel what is like to have one’s live destroyed. And yes we should form a nation wide class action sue, against our policy makers within the federal level and put them through trial in a court for acts against humanity.

I am very sadden about all the horror experiences, that our government puts on none violent or none criminal citizens through, just because they have Marijuana in their lives. The fact is that our world put people into all kinds breathing hazards justified for the sake of progress or capitol gain. We breath in smog, micron particles of all types of sanded composite materials at factories. We breath all types of hazardous waste materials. For the sake of patriotism, we educate our children within higher educational institutions, only to send some of them to war and get maimed, killed or diseased, but this is Ok with our government. Marijuana is the least of our worries in this world, but our government has made it a priority to use it to destroy people’s lives. The government’s abuse in destroying people’s lives because some who can and prefer the use Marijuana over the use alcohol is just as abusive as one who abuses and does not respect the responsible use of Marijuana itself. God put this plant here for a good reason and not just to make rope out of it.

There are people who prefer not to use Marijuana and I respect them for it. I do not advocate or promote for these people to use it or try it. However I advocate to please respect mine and others wishes to use it responsibly. I have good reasons for its use within my life. I work physically very hard and sometimes at the end of the day rather than having an alcoholic drink to unwind and relax my mind and body I will smoke a small amount. I do not buy or keep any large amounts of this product within my home, because it is illegal to use.

I have arthritis throughout most of the joints within my body and have to sleep with prescription pain medication in order to keep from waking up during my sleep time. Marijuana relieves the tensions in my muscles and the mental distress of everyday living. I enjoy the sexual enhancement and romantic sensitivity that it brings within my intimate sessions with my partner and at times the meditated state and prayer with my God. God does not condone the personal use of Marijuana. What He does condone is the improper use and abuse of just about anything that He has provided for us in this world. What needs to be done is to educate people on how to and when one can use Marijuana and for what purposes.

Do not be fool by the play in words though the anti-drug commercials targeted for young people. And yes young uneducated people will abuse just about anything they experience as different and enjoyable to them. In comparison to natural substances such as peyote, mescaline or magic mushrooms, which dramatically alters one mental out look and behavior, Marijuana is a natural unadulterated product, which offers a mild euphoric feeling, but with one’s mind coherent of the ones surroundings, just as it is. It does not extremely alter one’s perception of things, but only in a good sense. Marijuana is not addicting as opiates or an addicting narcotic such as cocaine or meth and whatever else is out there on the streets, that man’s chemist have conjured. Marijuana should not be put in such a devastating category, as narcotics, as this is an exaggeration of the facts.

As such discrimination and incarceration is a favorite abuse of our higher society to maintain the upper hand in controlling and threatening the population and costing the tax payers billions of dollars that can be better used as Soberworld has said, for bettering our educational institutions, health and social programs for the needy. There are just so many better uses for the money the USA spends against Marijuana, which does not even impact against the truth that has been revealed to the people that use Marijuana responsibly.
