    Time to legalize pot?

    C'mon, America! Educate yourselves!

     

    All one has to do is to educate themselves.  Marijuana was made illegal due to ignorance about the drug.  There are many books by both "potheads" and professionals (some are both) alike.  If you simply read up on it, you will find that, yes, it is harmful to your body, especially if it is abused.  But, it is one of the least harmful of all the illegal drugs, and one legal one.  Especially when used responsibly.

     

    I find it interesting that people don't understand that if you decriminalize all the illicit drugs, you take away the market for the cartels and the dealers and the mafia.  It's just common sense.  And reading here about a woman's husband from the Netherlands having never smoked it before he did with her, shows that the U.S. is most likely increasing the number of people that will use it simply because it has such stigma attached to it.

     

    Let's get educated, educate America, and our politicians about the uselessness and incredible damage being done by the war on drugs.  Read about it.  Google it.  You'll see the same things I've read over these oh so many years.

     

    And here's to Jack Herrer, the father of the legalization movement.  <twisting one up for Jack>
