  1. am currently doing a report on legalizing marijuana in my class and what you have here is good but it needs more statistics more facts. i am currently a chronic user and support your ideas. Government would make a substantial amount of money off of it and it is less harmful than tobacco and alcohol

  2. dude I LOVE weed just as much as the rest of yas. but seriously we have to talk smart to get the politicions in on it. The more they see we need it for the economy the more they will support it. Then we can just buy it at the store like alchohaul and cigs. We just have to convince the tight asses of the world to loosen up and have a joint. Thats all I’m asking for.

  3. support the legalization of marijuana 100%. There are over 200,000,000 people in the world today that use marijuana. All the people I know that use it have jobs and raise families. They are not on the streets, giving sex for crack and heroin like crack and heroin addicts do. Also, there has been no report of people dying of marijuana while people get drunk and end up killing people while driving drunk and beating their wifes and kids while drunk.

  5. t is proven that it is not addictive physically only psychologicallyand you want stats to get younger kids to stop doing it you have to legalize it n make it like cigs… an age limit…. 20% of 8th graders have at least tried it once by 10th grade 20% are current usersand by 12th grade 50% of all students have tried it and 30% are current users. govt spends $7.5 billion to enforce laws against marijuana. an economist in canada also had a formula goin… he estimated that the avg price a .5 gram was sold for $8.60 on the streets while its cost of production was $1.70. 2 more FBI reported that there were more arrest of marijuana related charges than all violent charges COMBINED… including rape murder robbery and aggrevated assault. finally harvard medical school studied that there were no significant differences in the cognitive levels between heavy cannibis users compared to their control group. if u want to start doin something join the overgrow the government… its a little movement in which u take ur seeds and plant them around your town in public places where they could be seen. LETS LEGALIZE IT

  6. Ok, first the economy has the completly wrong idea about bud. They see it as a bad thing that can mess up your life... well have you ever heard anything about marijunia messing up someones life? I know i havent. They think its a bad thing bcus they see on the news "gangsters killed someone and had possesion of marijunia".It just makes it look bad ya kno? Marijunia could be used to save this economy and i doubt the economy will ever be better unless they legalize marijunia. Its impossible to be in a bad mood after you've taken a couple hits off some highgrade. It litteraly makes EVERYTHING you do better such as music, sex, driving, walking, meeting new people, and just talking. It could improve the tax for the government as well. But i mean im not the best guy to talk to about this. But i will stand up for Marijuana anyday in my life.

  7. Yes, I actually HAVE seen marijuana mess up peoples lives firsthand. Several people. Not something on the news, not something in the media, but friends & family. I consider myself to be extremely liberal in my politics, but on this issue, I am a firm & emphatic NO.

  8. In response to: "It litteraly makes EVERYTHING you do better such as music, sex, driving, walking, meeting new people, and just talking."

    I have to say - perhaps that is the experience for the person who IS stoned, but for the person who is not - with the exception of music - doing these things in the company of a stoned person is decidedly annoying. Try being the sober one in that conversation and tell me it is "better". If you are stoned you only THINK is is better because your perception is distorted. NOT fun being around a stoned person, a drunk person, or anyone strung out on anything.

  9. Are you even serious right now? I am 100% against legalizing that God forsaken drug. I don't want to raise my kids in a society where you can just go to your local pharmacy and purchase drugs. I don't care how bad to economy is. I swear if this happens, I am so angry right now!

  10. oh please your kids probably already smoke it. Why are you even here? This blog is called Americas unemployed. There are people here like me that don't have work and are struggling to make ends meat. I bet you will jump on bored when they decide to lay your butt off. So please fall off that high horse.
