		<description>I doubt if the majority will grow their own but I also doubt it will be all that easy for liquor and tobacco multinationals to take it over as you seem to suspect.

Given the number of states that have current &quot;medicinal marijuana&quot; operations, I&#039;d say there is already an industry in action that is ahead of the cigarette industry providing the substance through smoking, food additives and vaporizers.</description>

		<description>If it is legalized to you think the majority will grow their own?  Do you think an industry similiar to the cigerette industry will not develop over time to supply marijunna to the &quot;masses&quot;?</description>

		<description>You can also use a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maryjanesgarden.com/vaporizers.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;vaporizer&lt;/a&gt; as far less intrusive than brownies/food delivery and smoking.

And as someone who has smoked tobacco directly off the plant as well as marijuana directly off the plant, there is no comparison between the two.  And it is far easier to grow your own pot than it is to brew your own beer or ferment your own wine.

Nice try and thank you for playing</description>

		<description>Sure you can bake majic brownies but that is not the realistic method of delivery or use.  You can also get marinol by prescription now so there is no need for cancer patients to smoke or grow it. 

You can make wine and beer at home and grow tabacco but it is not the way the majority obtain those drugs.</description>

		<description>Dont forget &quot;siezure&quot; laws.  This is one way a small town in my state shakes people down.  I have to go there for funerals every now and then and its always nerve racking. Been stopped before. If you are ovbiously &quot;not from around here&quot; you will get stopped.  They try and find anything they can so they can sieze your car and then negioate. 

And in the city i live the police luv luv luv their drug money. They get to buy all kinds of cool infra red scanners and night vision goggles and helicopters and all kinds of fun toys.   Always funny to see some incident happen and the police show up like they are geared for Aleppo. You know that you need a small tank when dealing with backyard meth lab or some pot dealer.</description>

		<description>A couple of major differences you are missing - marijuana can be grown by individuals in their homes and can be ingested to get full effect by other than smoking.</description>

		<description>Since the surgeon generals report on smoking in the 1960s we have spent billions of dollars trying to get people to stop smoking because we know it causes cancer. Some of the most liberal state attorney generals sued the cigertte companies to recover the money the states medicade funds spent on treating dieases from smoking. Cigerette companies lied and covered up the nasty properties of their product almost since the first tabacco plantations were settled. These companies are reviled for their practices.

While I don’t think that D9THC is as addicting as nicotine is, I do believe that the tars and unburned by products and burned by products from the act of smoking marijunna is just as carcenogenic as smoking cigerettes. I think it is just as physically damanging to the lungs as cigerettes. I think if you legalize marijunna, you will generate an entire new industry that will eventually devolve into the same tatics and practices that the current cigerette companies are hated for today. 

Are you giving the people of the 22nd century their health problems by legalizing marijunna?

If marijunna is legalized are you willing to give the companies that sell the product an exemption for the cancer their product will cause in the future? These companies will probably be the current tabacco companies since they have the production equipment and distribution chanels in place.  They will probably also develop slick marketing adds to cover up the side effects of smoking marijunna.</description>

		<description>Total insanity, and I don&#039;t see any positive change on the horizon. This is one of those issues with regard to which the federal government won&#039;t even &lt;em&gt;pretend&lt;/em&gt; to budge an inch; they&#039;re evil hardasses and they take every opportunity to remind us of it.</description>

		<description>how many wealthy white individuals do you know who do blow, herb.

where even when busted, the cops drop the charges.

so, are the drug laws targeted at black men and women?

you bet they are.

so, i have to ask you how it is that these two gangsters[jackals] barry arrestyo ass black boys and eric hold &#039;em without warrants get your votes.

are you ofays? relishing the idea of incarcerating blacks. along with barry and eric.

both of whom seem to love the notion of throwing young black men into jail for what reason.

smoking cannabis.

the mittster may be no better, but why should we continue to reward these black bastids by giving them another 4 years to incarcerate even more.

tell me why.</description>

		<description>MJ prohibition is a boon for the cops in more ways than mentioned above.

Tens of thousands of rape kits nationwide remain untested.  If you are robbed or burglarized and expect the cops to actually catch those thieves or robbers, they&#039;ll just laugh at you. Never mind about criminal banking conspiracies and the like.

Marijuana busts are the answer to the cops prayers.  Potheads don&#039;t shoot back.  Convictions are easy and generate lots of revenues, so all those non-law-enforcing cops can claim to be tough on crime.</description>
