1. BUT BUT BUT..... it's a GATEWAY DRUG!!!!!!

How many years have I heard that horseshit from the gestapo industry that profits from having millions of non-violent citizens incarcerated and under the supervision of the criminal "justice" system?

Never-fucking-mind addictive alcohol and all the deaths it causes every year. What is more harmful to me? A guy next door with a few pot plants in his closet, or an obliterated drunk driving down the road? According to our justice system - the guy with the pot plants is a FELON; the obliterated drunk is simply committing a misdemeanor and can have it go away on the first offense by taking some classes.

BULLSHIT!

3. The drunk driving down the road

is trying to control a several ton piece of machinery also. They give warning labels on drugs, "Do not operate machinery while taking", yet no such warning appears on booze.

2. Love the sigline pic. They are going to have to legalize pot to mellow out all the BATSHIT crazy

tea party folks out there. I really think that is the only way to get the Republican sane again. The Republican party has to get sane because they are like a big black hole sucking the Democratic party their direction.

4. And opiate addiction is a huge problem in this country, larger in States with the strictest cannabis

laws decreasing in the States with access to cannabis. It's not an accident. Cannabis is better medicine.

6. Someone should inform Obama's latest DEA director

It wouldn't hurt to let Hillary know too.

7. Why not talk about car deaths? Just some perspective.

There's usually an agenda when people talk about things out of perspective.
