I have an issue with that, if studies have proven that being under the influence of the plant actually make it LESS likely to have a fatal accident than a drug-free driver, why would you make it illegal to drive under the influence of the plant?

It should be legal, or at least decriminalized. They're well on their way to doing this in Michigan, and I believe the Northeast as well as the West will be the first to at least decriminalize it. The bible-thumping south will of course be the last.

@Ran:

Though I do understand where you're coming from when it comes to being annoyed by a multitude of these kinds of threads being posted, view it the same as any other activist. The way some post about lost ones, others post about breast cancer, or some post about what they're having to eat for lunch, he posts about legalizing something that really should be legal and is illegal for incredibly retarded reasons. We aren't potheads crying about our precious plant being illegal, we're citizens wanting to exercise our personal rights without infringing on another's without endangering our career or personal life.

Not only do I think the plant should be legalized, but I believe that tobacco and alcohol companies should be punished for suppressing facts and promoting myths about the drug. That is where the true problem lies, large companies using their power/money to "protect" their market. Thats such bullshit. The same way automakers don't design cars to last very long, the same way tobacco companies put nicotine in cigarettes, the same way mods delete/edit posts so that certain posters are discredited. The shit ain't right, and by posting on these forums and raising awareness we are on the way to righting certain wrongs.

Don't take this the wrong way, because you're my homie and all, but if you don't like what the thread topic is just stay out of it. Its not like he decieved you with "Loli Pics 1 CLick away" type of title.

Legalize it, and the growth and distribution of it.
