I have been smoking the sweet mary jane for the last 6 years or so. In the years that I have been smoking I have come accross those who are irresponsibe and do "burn out", but there are those who are irresponsible with everything. Myself I have actively used the "plant", and I say plant because a drug is something that is chemically altered, enhanced or created to attain a desired affect and marij. grows out of the ground for peetes sake. Is a maple tree illegal because we get a sugar high from the syrup. I am sure you are all saying well cocaine is made from leaves... yeah that and about 3000 chemicals. Look marijuanna has it's up and it's downs. On the upside it could be a better fuel for cars (cleaner and more efficient) but the oil companies would lose out. It can make super strong, long lasting clothing and a million other cloth items. Oil can be used burning lamps, smoking it helps aid in the fight against disease. Which is more than most of the OTC drugs do most of the time and it is less addictive. For those who are violent by nature, at least I have seen personally, it calms them the fuck down. Obviously it is safer than Americas number one killer, ALCOHOL. Not one reported marijuanna death ever from overdose or related matter. How many a second die from something that is legal. Last but definately not least for all you government hoooo haaas lets get rid of the national debt in like 5 days after you start regulating the responsible use of marijuanna and the agricultural and industrial use. Lets get about a hundred thousand jobs to give people, lets free up some jail space and courtooms for those who really need to be there. It is no big secret that the war on drugs has been a big crash and burn story. Maybe if you concentrated on the real drugs? And finally on the bad side, Mary Jane does contain some cancer causing agents but the again so does nutrasweet, and the number is staggeringly less than that of cigarettes and chew and dip. Some people unfortunately are not capable of handling the drug either but then again most cannot even deal with life alone so one must use their better discretion when choosing to use marijuanna responsibly. That is about it for the down side. There really is not one. Granted I am looking through the eyes of an avid smoker who gets a 3.5 GPA (I'll send u a scan if u want)I have a great family and a dog that I care about, a girl for the last 4 years and a super clean driving record. Now that does not sound like the "pot smoker" shown in after school specials and on the nations drug awareness commercials. Fact of the matter it has been told that the sticky green as I like to call it has been depicted to us as a bad thing but people need to open their eyes to what it really is. It should be legal, controlled, and cheap. Making a plant illegal is ridiculous. If we were out to do that we could outlaw pointsettas for killing hundreds of pets with it's poisonous leaves, or poppy seeds for its opiate-like affects, you may as well even make it illegal to grow banannas. I have smoked bananna peel and gotten "high" from it. Lets end the silliness and make it 420 4ever None.
