People who would like to take medical marijuana, may consider living where medical marijuana or marijuana is legal.
Please write about places where medical marijuana is legal. Also a bit about about the particular area and why it is a good place to live.
So they can grow their own marijuana at home in peace or purchase it. Having to take marijuana illegally can cause stress to a patient who is trying to deal with their illness.
Mairjuana should be legal for everyone, mainly for recreational use. But also for medical use. When people have cancer or any other main health problems they do not want morphine or these other dangerous legal drugs! They want to be able to smoke weed! Weed has many more benefits than these other drugs to and our government should give the people what they want! Legal Weed
I have to agree with everybody here. I have been smoking for almost 4 years now and have three wonderful kids. I do drink occasionally and very rarely do cocaine but that is my choice not the pot being a gateway drug. It was my choice to try it. To anonymous who is smoking for health reasons, I applaud you and completely feel you there. I haven’t been medically diagnosed with anything, but raising three young children (my oldest is only 4 years old), I get depressed and frustrated all the time. Weed is what calms me down and keeps me from yelling at my kids. To Brian, my friends and I have had many conversations regarding exactly what you said. Sell joints in packs like cigarettes, sell them for $25-30 a pack and we’re still paying less than what we do now and helping the economy. Where I live all you can find anymore is $40 quarters, if you can find it at all. The government is too caught up in trying to bust marijuana dealers and growers that they are neglecting the hard drugs like meth, LCD, acid, and extacy which can kill you like 100 times faster than weed can, it’s proven fact.
Boston, MA
You can now smoke weed in Boston and not get into trouble. Pretty soon medical marijuana will be legal everywhere! Get it a few more years weed will be legal all over the united states

Let’s not forget the market for hemp related products. Hemp is a viable crop and its fiber has a large number of commercial uses, from clothing to paper. Not only can we save trees, which should be an easy sale to the eco friendly, but it can be a boon to farmers as a cash crop. From what I’ve read, even hemp seeds are rich in nutrients. It’s such a shame that so many people have bought into the propaganda and lies that our government has tried to pass for fact for so long.
Why can’t we lobby on a state-by-state basis to get the law changed? I can set up a webb site. Funding will be necessary. I have lobbyed for 30 years – states and federal. Comments?
I saw an episode on “home box office” named “Grass”, by Ron Mann. Why can’t we get legislation done on a state by state basis to overcome the criminal penalties? I have been lobbying for many year in several states and federally. Is there a way to fund this? Could we set up a webb site? Do the states realize the expense they are dealing with on this criminalzation? Any comments, or takers?
This is the time for all legalization proponents to put on an all out blitz on legislators and politicians. Due to the current economic crisis, governments at all levels, federal, state and local, are running out of money. It is impossible to rationally justify the billions we are continually spending on failed attempts to enforce marijuana prohibition. We must send a strong message to the politicians that the people will no longer tolerate tax dollars being wasted on this nonsense, and that governments must now move to regulation and taxation.
Honestly i think the effort to keep marijuana illegal is obsurd. Marijuana has been a part of life long before we were even an idea. Its natural and unexcepted…why because it fits the basic definition of a narcotic the twist is…its completely harmless. Smoking a joint is like smoking a cigarette when you are having a crappy day and you smoke that first cigarrtte you feel great…take that nicotine buzz and amplify it by about 10 each time you take a hit…nicotine levels you out…marijuana..thc…chills you out…you dont want to kill…or steal, or rape, or anything…you want to relax, eat and then sleep.
Plus there are more important things that our country needs to concern themselves with. When terrorists have guns pointed at our head…we are more concerned about the mesquito bite on our ass…thats how dumb it is…just legalize it..put a tax on it…and get over it. We have bigger problems to deal with.
I am a 26 year old medical student doing a paper for the legalization of marijuana in the U.S. Being a medical student I know that drugs are bad but after being given this subject I have almost changed my mind about the U.S. policies I think that anyone who would like to legalize pot after lookinga t several studies is right there are so many benifits. Not only just for medical purposes I also think that a few people that don’t really know what they are talking about should keep out of any descion makeing until they have gotten all the facts. I have been reaserching for over a month andhave found many reasons why pot should be legal so keep on with the fight to legalize it I have been changed by facts.
Regardless of marijuana being legalized in all states or not, people still manage to find marijuana to smoke. Personally, if it was legalized i believe it would do wonders to the world. I believe we would see the world as a better view. We would have happier people and more friendly people and I think it would bring a little more joy that people didn’t know they had. Another reason is if it was to be legalized people wouldn’t abuse marijuana because it would be legal. People abuse marijuana illegally more than legally. Plus, if it was to get legalized, those who illegally smoke it more likely wouldn’t use as much if it was legalized. I don’t believe legalizing marijuana would harm many people. I think it would be a good idea actually..
not only is the legalization of marijuana going to help in stablizing the economy but also free up the prison. i live in harford county maryland and have had several instances involving getting into trouble with possesion. Here we are taking in to jail, no warnings or citations. We can be held without bail for months for a charge involving one gram. When being a help a 42 year old man charged with murder was given a bail price, i was not. Which of these is worse?
The legalization of marijuana would completely fix the economy. It is easier to grow than tobacco so if it is sold in 20 packs like cigarettes, you could put a $25 tax on it and it would be cheaper than black market prices. The tax would get rid of the deficit. With the deficit gone, the dollar becomes much stronger which means the cost of foreign goods (gas, cars, electronics) would come way down. Cost of policing marijuana goes away and the police can go after real criminals. Just plain common sense.
I would like to know if any of these so called doctors or researchers have ever actually smoked weed themselves. Everyone reacts to “drugs” differently. So if they are seeing overly giggly people chances are those people don’t smoke on a regular basis. And as far as concentration marijuana actually makes you more focused while under the influence. I am a prelaw student, active member of my community, volunteer mediator and full time mom and here the catch I have been smoking for the last 5 years chronically. I am not on any kind of man made meds either. Which is rare now days. I have never been in trouble and I do not drink alcohol or do any other drugs. I have never been in a group of people who are smoking and had a fight break out like happens when people drink. However I have heard some of the most interesting and philisophical conversations under the influence. Diagnosed over 6 years ago with manic depression, anxiety, and ADD/ADHD smoking is the only way I can function during the day. Yes I have tried other meds my doctor prescribed to me. All have had a negative effect on me. It was actually my doctor who told me to start smoking. So the next time people want to say “Oh weed is bad. Look at all the bad things it does.” Maybe they should consider the source.
would like to find a clinic that is able to prescribe medical marijuana in or near los angeles.
I found an awesome site with detailed information on where you can legally smoke weed.
