Please express your views on legalisation of marijuana in general.
Do you think medical marijuana should be legalised or should all marijuana be legalised. Alternatively would it be best if marijuana was illegal in all circumstances.

I think marijuana should be legalized.
The prohobition didn’t last over 70 years and marijuana and less harmful than alchohol ? The goverment keeps complaining how the economy is so screwed over, but they have americas number one crop with people selling it and making about 36 million a year and it’s illegal!
Imagine if they taxed that. We would be saved in less then a year. Plus, not only would people smoke it, it would give farming jobs, we could make clothes out of it, there would probably be hash cafes, they could make paper and etc. I don’t get why they didn’t legalize it already?
The goverment just fines you if you get behind a wheel drunk, but if they catch you with something less harmful you have most likely jail time? That’s just stupid on our goverments part. I mean ALOT of people have been doing marijuna from the 1930’s and the goverment keeps spending there money everyday just to put somebody in jail for something not harmful OR addicting.
You guys can put rat poisioning into a ciggarette but you can’t sell a non-addicting, natural substance? NOBODY has died from just weed, and now you tell me how many people have died from alchohol poisioning and ciggarettes.
America could make SOO much money from just legalizing some little plant. Honestly, everybody who has been wanting to legalize marijuana, they’re not going to stop there fight to legalize it. Medical marijuana is legal, but regular weed is practically the same thing. I mean if somebody gets behind a wheel and they’re under the influence of marijuana, it’s going to do less damage then getting behind the wheel drunk. Plus, marijuana would make America more peaceful, more people just don’t care about fighting when under the influence.
If you can put rat poisioning in a ciggarette, and a bunch chemicals in alchohol then why can’t you legalize a damn plant thats WAY less harmful then ciggarettes or alchohol? Let the economy be screwed over, let america go through the gret depression again.
Americas number one crop is right there, and the goverment is just going sit there and keep spending thousands of dollars for EACH person getting arrested for it when they could free prison space, and get millions of dollars from just legalizing something they should have legalized 60 years ago.
My husband he has all kind of sempton that marijuana can help. The doctor gives him all kind of medecine, it dosn’t work at all.
He cries all the time some of the medecine that he has taken almost killed him . A few months ago he tried marijuana and it works. But is not legal in Alabama, we pray and hoping that soon well be legallize in Alabama. Please anyone that read this we need your cooperation, he is suffering with depression, nerv, athuritis, headaches and anxiety.
I think it should be legalized. I mean danm it, it doesn’t kill people, it’s not addictive, it helps cancer patients ten fold more than chemotherapy…and it’s illegal beacuse some big whig in the timber industry was loosing money to hemp since hemp was cheeper. AMERICA WAS BUILT ON WEED!!! LEGALIZE IT!
I have been using Medical Marijuana for 5 years now, I have bad anxiety that leads to insomnia. Ambien (poor spelling) doesn’t even work for me, but a nice heavy indica does.
Just this year my Grandmother(Grama) was diegnosed with bladder cancer. She went through horrible chemo and radiation that left her in more pain then the cancer did. After 3 months of almost daily treatment, it didn’t work!!!
So now she is living life, really living it because she knows it’s almost over. She had never done drugs, smoked cigerettes or even drank offten. She asked me about MMJ and if she could try it. Of course I set her up with a vaporizer, 3 marijuana strains and much more. The works.
After her 3rd pull off the vaporizer I could see her body relax. The pain relief was minor because of the severity of her pain. BUT! She ate twice that day, after not being able to eat and hold food down for 48 hours. It really helped her. That’s just one story of how it can help. Anything that can help should be legal, this country was developed on the rights of people. That is one of our rights in my mind.
I’m with you never woke up hangover after smoking and my work has never suffered.
I think that Marijuana should be legalized. No one has ever died from it’s use and I have seen it help medically. We already have several states that have medical marijuana so why not Texas.
We have one of the largest Cancer Centers right here in Houston. People come here from all around the around the world . I have even use it for my depression I have a friend the has cancer and takes chemotherapy that makes him so ill he he can’t eat but he uses it and it helps him eat.
New novel lampoons Drug War.
WITCHGRASS: a pipe dream, a novel by Dave Wilkinson portrays shattered lives and conflicted families as a New England town splits apart.
What if a Vietnam helicopter suddenly landed in your back yard? The town of New Salem, Maine faces an invasion of military operations, secret spies and child-parent betrayal that sets a peaceful rural county spinning.
Carolyn Chute, author of best-selling The Beans of Egypt, Maine, “cry-laughed and laugh-cried through a book more important than most of what they give kids to read in school.”
Witchgrass: a pipe dream sweeps the reader into a quiet world turned upside down by the War on Drugs. An afternoon invasion becomes a multi-faceted dramedy as marijuana-hunting helicopters cause confusion and panic one summer during the early 1990s.
School children, sheriffs, professors and prosecutors play their parts in a story about one of America’s major social issues. Emotions boil in the culture clash over cannabis, a matter which divides parent from child, employee from company, husband from wife.
As the story comes to its unexpected and riotous climax, Maine in the Bush One era becomes a positive vision of future enlightenment. In its non-judgmental portrayal of cannabis users, this novel brightens the image of much-maligned pot smokers.
Witchgrass: a pipe dream is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels, also at selected bookstores.
About the author
Dave Wilkinson wrote ordinances which produced the first municipal vote for marijuana legalization since the 1970s. The vote of Starks, Maine in 1992 was years ahead of California’s Proposition 215 in 1996 and Maine’s Medical Marijuana Act of 1999.
In 2006, with Producer Marilyn Taylor, Wilkinson created incredibleMAINE, a half-hour weekly TV show on the Maine Public Broadcasting Network. He has twice been Emmy nominated for Directing the award-winning show. Witchgrass: a pipe dream is his first novel.

I am so angry right now! I have been unemployed (1-1/2 yrs) and it seems to get a job, I have to stop smoking and clean out!
What makes me mad is that I worked with a girl on my last job that would brag about going out drinking with her friends, and the next day come in with a hangover. She would lay her head on her desk and moan that her head was fuzzy and she couldn’t function. The quality of her work and job performance declined significantly.
I personally have an intolerance for alcohol–it gives me acid reflux. I went to work high almost everyday, and imagine this–I WAS THE LEAD in my department–Why? Because the quality of my work, along with my output performance was exceptional.
I am angry because I have to stop smoking so I can get a new job. Frankly, I think alcohol is WORSE than pot, and I think it is BUL_SH_T that I have to stop what I enjoy, just because the world decided it was illegal. I think alcohol should be illegal, too many DWI’s out there. I just wish I could tell prospective employers they are wrong, and go F themselves, because I’ll out perform any drunk, any day!!
