Colorado legalized marijuana??

[Nicotine]

good argument/rebuttals.

I'm all for the legalization of marijuana. medical and personal use - as long as the people who decide to use are doing so on free will. (no peer pressure, etc).

I have first hand seen the huge benefits of medical marijuana. A close friend of mine, her son was diagnosed with leukemia. The pills made him so sick, massacred his appetite, the steroid medications cause his hips to degenerate - which caused HUGE pain (just had double hip replacement at 18yrs old).

Nothing worked for him in pain management and support of appetite like marijuana did. nothing. the pills made him sick, his liver enzymes were so high when trying to manage the pain thru pharmaceuticals, they made him a zombie.

Then comes personal use. Marijuana is fine by me. I found that most AGAINST marijuana use also tied in "well, if that's legal, the next step is to make crack legal". I get the idea behind that, but I think people would go that route as it is, if weed was legal or not. (hope i worded that right).

Then there is gay marriage. Most people I have talked to who are against it often throw in "Well, then it should be legal to marry your dog too, or your toaster" (yes, I have heard that). What they fail to understand is - a dog and a toaster are not adults capable of giving valid consent in a loving relationship.

If 2 people are committed, want to be married, are of sound mind, are adults, then who cares?



nice to see lots of open minded people on here.

totally agree. I'll even take it a step further.....

....what is so terribly wrong with what some of the mormons are doing with polygomy? Most are stand up loving families where everyone is in consent to the living arrangements. But the government steps in with it's infiinite wisdom, declares polygomy illegal, and makes criminals out of those living that lifestyle, sending some to jail, and in reality, taking parents away from children.

Someone please tell me what is so terrible with polygomy?

I just picked on the mormons because they are easy targets and quite often when one thinks of polygomists, mormon pops up too. But you are right, you don't have to be mormon to be a polygomist, or visa versa.

my bad............
