I hope this is okay mods/admins, if not, please trash.
I was going to add it to apost in a thread, but thought it would make people post just to share their remarks.
and i figured since this is the off-topic area that it'd be ok.

but I got the number sent to me in a text
that's in the quote i'm about to paste in here,
you can call to vote,
or go to the website to learn more about it.
i know some smokers on this site,
so i thought i'd post for all the other US smokers.
this is kinda my point of view in the quote
as i just posted it as a bulletin on my myspace.
so please don't get offended,
it's my oppinnion,
and we're all entitled to our opinnions,
and feel free to state yours,
but please do not fight over this topic,
as i know it can be controversial at times.
thanks, and here's the quote:
http://criminaljustice.change.org/actions/view/legalize_marijuana
to vote for the step towards legalization,
or call to vote: 9734093274
its a new jersey number.


It's bound tohappen sooner or later.

I'm for the industrial kind's legalization more so then the kind you smoke.

The industrial kind is what they used for the original constitution, rope, etc.

its usuable for like over 260,000 different genre's of products.

not 260,000 products, but genre's of products,
What I mean is, for example a sidekick is a product, a cell phone is the genre.

catch my drift, it's extremely useful.

and that's not the so called health stuff associated with it.

the industrial kind can be grown on 98% of the earth's surface.

the 2% that it cannot is at the north and south poles, but if you found dirt there,
it could grow.

it's estimated that one year cultivation/sale of the industrial kind can bring the United States completely out of debt and pay for almost all of the government bailouts. thats hundreds of trillions of dollars for out debt, and add hundred billions more for the bail outs.

that's a shit ton of money.

and that's not even the drug aspect of marijuana.

which would prolly make enough money for the rest of the government bailouts that the industrial kind couldn't pay off.

now should we american's be spending hundred of billions of dollars trying to fight marijuana each year, or should we embrace it and make money off of it?

also, fun fact, marijuana is illegal because of thc, but then why is Marinol legal even though it's synthetic THC? Gee, I wonder if it's because they can't control the growing of a natural plant....

Besides, isn't this america? here it's all about capitalism. so why shouldn't we capitalize on this product and make our country fuckin ridiculously rich and then we can afford to help the nations in poverty and afford to keep everyone in america fed as well.

doesn't this just sound like such a better thing then spending billions of dollars on fighting this every year?

American people made too much money raping Africans and forcing them to pick cotton.

Hemp could have stopped that industry before it even started and lots of Rich people would potentially not be rich now......

I wonder how many household brand companies still exist that actually rose to positions of power during those times through the use of slavery. The mind boggles.!.

History is the biggest teacher and I think it will be a long time before people can look back and unravel (without any form of biased prejudice or some sort of adjenda) the reasons behind the criminalisation of Hemp and the pushing of tobbaco - alcohol and other taxable substances that cannot be grown perfectly and easily in your garden with a minimum of fuss. In the right environment, most people could grow a banging plant with polenty of smoke potential in their own gardens.

Life is hard, but could be so much better and easier if we all grew veggies and hemp.

The lure of the city and capitalism is starting to fade now, hopefully with more education and time people will understand that its better to grow natural food and weed than get on a commute everyday and take Ritalin.

No one else makes money if you stay in your community and become self sufficient though!!

If all people wanted was - Healthy food, excercise, good sex and a bit of chiung smoke for treat. The world would be a much better place.

Sadly, its much more socially acceptable to drink 5 pints of lager and start a fight that to smoke a big one and mong out. Sadly its more acceptable to go to war with another country than to back down and make a peaceful approach to every situation.

I dont think that big industry is the answer CodyBear. In fact, money is not the answer. Money is a representation of non critical resources. What do you need to live? Food, water and shelter. What is money? Oil and stones/gold etc........? I dont actually know what resources money represents now days.....How can my £10 note represent anything when our government is in so much debt to the Fund?
(same for USA -except its in much more debt)

I seriously dont share a vision of the future where every one works in a big factory. I desperately search for a vision of the future where communities are self contained and completely self suffiecient, clean and green :)

Ho-hum I am not holding my breath - not until I win the euro lottery and buy my own island!!

This is waayy off-topic, This is a still a phone forum.

Legal & political discussions just stir up bad feelings. If you want to discuss this I think you'd be better in a another forum :)
