    Exactly!
    Weed really isn't as harmful as the government wants you to think. :)

    It should be legal and taxed just like alcohol. It is way less harmful for you than alcohol.

    pot is the wonder drug that does wonders... it lowers metabolism, it calms headaches.. i can help people who have manic episodes calm down (there is nothing, not muscle relaxers, ativan, nothing works on my mania like weed does).. for that reason alone it should be legal...

    and its better for you then smoking cigarettes and alcohol...

    there is not one good reason to make it illegal, except the government would loose a lot of money if it was made legal

    president obama promised that the feds would not go after state legal dispensaries , but for some reason they are.. in my area alone dozens have been closed.. its shameful.. obama should be ashamed...

    Totally agree that it was giving into the munchies that made me gain the weight.

    I think it should be treated the same as alchol & cigs ~ they are luxaries in life. They should all be legal & taxed.

    Awesome.

    Here's a munchiez tip:

    Prepare a healthy treat or fill a bowl with fruits and veggies and place it at eye level in your fridge.

    That way when your done and looking for something it will be right in front of your eyes and look delicious.


    It's helped me tons hahaha :)

    I know someone who smokes it and it keeps their weight off drastically. Somehow their metabolism is sped up? It's also a great way to alleviate depression, cancer symptoms, and headaches. Too bad that alcohol is legal, but a medicinal drug isn't? Oh, well...

    I don't smoke as much as I used to, but I do indulge on occasion. I believe that it should be legalized and taxed- there would be more money for other things because there would be less money spent on prosecuting those who got caught with pot.

    But we all just need to smoke some weed and see if it don't help the quality of your mother f#*king life. I know, I see some of y'all. Look, I understand. If you ain't smoking weed 'cause you got a good job, then by all means make your paper booboo. But if you ain't got no job, and you're not smoking weed, I don't know what the f#*k you are doing with your life. I really don't. I really don't.

    Don't give me that **** about it's a drug it ain't no mother f#*king drug, I had done the research, it's just a plant. It's just grows like that. And if you happen to set it on fire, there are some affects. But that's not the same as drugs. Drugs, you got to do **** to it chemically. You got to add baking soda, water stir it up. I don't know the recipe, I'm just saying. It's some **** you got to do to it. But why the f#*k is it illegal, I don't know. Aspirin is perfectly legal, but if you take 13 of them mother f#*kers, it'll be your last headache. As long as you've been living you ain't never heard of a mother f#*ker overdose on marijuana. You might have thought that ni#*a was dead, "He ain't dead..." He's going to wake up in 30 minutes, hungry enough to eat up everything in your house. That's the side effects. Hungry, happy, sleepy, that's it. You can all testify.

    The only plant with no discovered level of toxicity, and no known allergy.

    While I do not partake, except as hemp hearts on occassion, I feel this plant is completely maligned and misunderstood.

    The entire argument against it seems to be "because big brother said so".

    I have no willpower at allwhen I smoke weed....so I gave it up because in my case it was keeping me fat..but I don't oppose legalization at all because its still pretty awesome lol

    I dont know....... yeah....... I get the munchies, but it seems easier to control what i am munching on and if I even REALLY want it. It keeps me from being as stressed, so I dont stress eat. Keeps me calmer, so no cortisol (if that even really factors in to it). Gets me mellow enough to be able to sleep, so I am rested and have the energy to start the day in the morning. I dont know as many fat potheads as I do non-smokers.

    That's one plan. The other can work for some people. You just have to be a TEENSY bit extra careful on the treadmill...

    I have never had it
    But I live in B.C. so I'm completely fine with people using it and say just legalize it.

    And honestly who hasn't eaten a bunch of greasy gross food while hungover or gotten McD's at 3am after the bar, pot isn't the only thing that gives you "munchies"

    Agreed. Then at least it would be regulated and the quality controlled.
