  2. this is all true. and its saddening because the fact that marijuana is still illegala with so many people wanting otherwise just goes to show that the government has to much control and too little power.

    I am not afraid of smoking weed or of people who do. But I am afraid of the government and the repercussions of smoking weed by them.

    And even a blind man can see that that's wrong

  5. I don't do any drugs at all, but I also know that most of the craziness against weed was because of the hemp lobby, being it a business with high profit possibility in many areas, textile, paper, you name it.
