So Hope, I guess since percocet is legal it is fine that it causes THOUSANDS of deaths every year,…Read More and in fact actually marijuana has caused ZERO deaths EVER, cures certain cancers, helps a multitude of other diseases and needs to remain illegal ??? Where is YOUR thinking ??? Your arguments make ZERO sense, you speak like a well oiled politician getting their kickbacks from big pharma to keep a truly beneficial 100%% NATURAL product away from those who it could provide some substantial relief ....while keeping a killing chemical company in business ( a drug co IS nothing more than a killing chemical company) ...

You don't give up on comparing pot with alcohol, do you, Jim? Wine and beer are served in my home…Read More on occassion. But, I have also seen the results of these intoxicants and I have seen perfectly nice and "normal" people abuse these and wonder if it is really necessary to drink or serve. As a cigarette smoker for many years I can identify with addiction and how difficult it was to quit. You will never hear me say, "If I can quit, anyone can quit", because I feel very fortunate that the timing was right for me when I was able to do it. Had I been dealing with issues that came down the pike later on in my life, I do not think I would have been emotionally strong enough to break that habit. So, a lot of abuse, drugs, booze, legal medications, etc. are like waving a carrot in front of a person when they are most vulnerable over some issue or another and we all have issues, many of which we do not solicit!!! Thanks for the back and forth. You can continue to have your opinions, and I hope you will never be forced to change your mind, but when it becomes personal we often have a quick reversal of thoughts on lots of social issues, either that or we will deny or evade the truth.
