About time we started using common sense

pot closer to beng legal?

It is about time we move closer to making it legal to smoke pot. People can smoke nicotine that we know kills, drink alcohol, who does the government think they are to tell someone they cannot smoke some pot? Especially for medicinal purposes.

no kidding, what a waste of resources banning a plant that is almost as popular as tobacco

ideally MJ should be legal anyway but if the attraction of tax revenue makes it so, fine

far safer than tobacco and unlike tobacco, it has medicinal uses

SAfer or not should not be the issue. The government has no right to tell me what I may do with or to my own body as a consenting adult. Whether it be drinking spirits, smoking pot, shooting cocaine, sleeping with someone of the same sex or marrying someone of the same sex. So long as no one else is harmed and no one else's rights are violated, the government should mind it's own business.

I have no clue why it was banned or who instigated it. Living in TX I have to put up with the inane "Blue Laws". While most of them have been taken off the books, alcohol is still an issue. Certain counties here in TX are dry. Can't buy a drop of booze in the county. Even in the wet counties, you cannot buy alcohol on Sun till 12n. Gee, any guesses who supported that one? I cannot help but wonder if that same group of people who instigated the Blue Laws also got Marijuana banned as well.

That's nice but they have and do......

Nooner's in Pa too Gar......exactly one hour before NFL action.....

Looks like the Puritans in the 17thh century got the ball rolling on blue laws and not your favorite political party who didn't show up until around 1854.
