Legalize
Individuals deserve the right to decide whether or not they should use marijuana. The government should not tell individuals what to do as long as they do not harm others.
COST: keeping marijuana illegal is expensive.
The second important reason that marijuana should be legal is that it would save our government lots of money. In the United States, all levels of government (federal, state, and local authorities) participate in the "War on Drugs." We currently spend billions of dollars every year to chase peaceful people who happen to like to get high. These people get locked up in prison and the taxpayers have to foot the bill. We have to pay for food, housing, health care, attorney fees, court costs, and other expenses to lock these people up. This is extremely expensive! We could save billions of dollars every year as a nation if we stop wasting money locking people up for having marijuana. In addition, if marijuana were legal, the government would be able to collect taxes on it, and would have a lot more money to pay for effective drug education programs and other important causes.
We would have more money to spend on important problems if marijuana were legal.
Failure: prohibition doesn't help. The third major reason that marijuana should be legal is because prohibition does not help the country in any way, and causes a lot of problems. There is no good evidence that prohibition decreases drug use, and there are several theories that suggest prohibition might actually increase drug use (i.e. the "forbidden fruit" effect, and easier accessibility for youth). One unintended effect of marijuana prohibition is that marijuana is very popular in American high schools. Why? Because it is available. You don't have to be 21 to buy marijuana -- marijuana dealers usually don't care how old you are as long as you have money. It is actually easier for many high school students to obtain marijuana than it is for them to obtain alcohol, because alcohol is legal and therefore regulated to keep it away from kids. If our goal is to reduce drug consumption, then we should focus on open and honest programs to educate youth, regulation to keep drugs away from kids, and treatment programs for people with drug problems. But the current prohibition scheme does not allow such reasonable approaches to marijuana; instead we are stuck with 'DARE' police officers spreading lies about drugs in schools, and policies that result in jail time rather than treatment for people with drug problems. We tried prohibition with alcohol, and that failed miserably. We should be able to learn our lesson and stop repeating the same mistake.
Prohibition does not work. Education and treatment are better ways to address the drug problem.
There are plenty of other reasons why marijuana should be legal. Just to name a few: Medicinal use: Marijuana can be used as medicine because it helps to stimulate apetite and relieve nausea in cancer and AIDS patients.
Hemp: The hemp plant is a valuable natural resource. Legalizing marijuana would eliminate the confusion surrounding hemp and allow us to take advantage of hemp's agricultural and industrial uses.
:Religious use: Some religions instruct their followers to use marijuana. Just like Christianity and Judaism instruct their followers to drink wine on certain occasions, some Hindus, Buddhists, Rastafarians, and members of other religions use marijuana as part of their spiritual and religious ceremonies. These people deserve the freedom to practice their religion as they see fit. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says that the government cannot 'prohibit the free exercise' of religion, and so marijuana should be legal.

Decriminalize
It should be no secret that in its unregulated state, pot is often easier for a minor to access than liquor or cigarettes �” themselves the most deadly of gateway drugs.
Why grant cannabis tax-free status when we could better control its use by regulating and taxing it as we do alcohol, which is more impairing than marijuana, and tobacco, which is far more addictive?
Does it make sense that we're cutting law enforcement and other critical services to afford to incarcerate nonviolent drug offenders, when we could be putting more cops on the beat from marijuana's tax revenue and saving overcrowded prisons for truly dangerous convicts?
Keeping cannabis illegal also represents government intrusion on the business sector at its worst, because it deprives us of marijuana's harmless cousin, hemp.
Hemp is a drought-resistant crop which could provide jobs and offer local sources of clothing, paper, biofuel, canvas, rope and nutritious seeds.
George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew hemp. Ben Franklin owned a mill that made hemp paper. The Declaration of Independence and Constitution were drafted on hemp paper. Old Glory was made from cannabis fibers.
Today, we import hundreds of thousands of dollars of hemp products from Canada. In a fiscal crisis especially, Advertisement Quantcast criminalizing this lucrative crop out of an outdated "prohibition" mindset makes no kind of sense!
USA De-criminalize Marijuana!!!
Thu Sep 02, 2010 6:27 pm
YES on 19
Today, hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars are spent enforcing the failed prohibition of marijuana (also known as “cannabis”).
Currently marijuana is easier for kids to get than alcohol, because dealers don’t require ID.
Prohibition has created a violent criminal market run by international drug cartels.
Police waste millions of taxpayer dollars targeting non-violent marijuana consumers, while thousands of violent crimes go unsolved.
And there is $14 billion in marijuana sales every year in California, but our debt-ridden state gets nothing from it.
Marijuana prohibition has failed.
We need a common sense approach to control and tax marijuana like alcohol.
Proposition 19 was carefully written to get marijuana under control.
Under Proposition 19, only adults 21 and over can possess up to one ounce of marijuana, to be consumed at home or licensed establishments. Medical marijuana patients’ rights are preserved.
If we can control and tax alcohol, we can control and tax marijuana.
Put strict safety controls on marijuana
Proposition 19 maintains strict criminal penalties for driving under the influence, increases penalties for providing marijuana to minors, and bans smoking it in public, on school grounds, and around minors.
Proposition 19 keeps workplaces safe by preserving the right of employers to maintain a drug-free workplace.
Put police priorities where they belong
According to the FBI, in 2008 over 61,000 Californians were arrested for misdemeanor marijuana possession, while 60,000 violent crimes went unsolved. By ending arrests of non-violent marijuana consumers, police will save hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars a year, and be able to focus on the real threat: violent crime.
Police, Sheriffs, and Judges support Proposition 19.
Help fight the drug cartels
Marijuana prohibition has created vicious drug cartels across our border. In 2008 alone, cartels murdered 6,290 civilians in Mexico -- more than all U.S. troops killed in Iraq and Afghanistan combined.
60 percent of drug cartel revenue comes from the illegal U.S marijuana market.
By controlling marijuana, Proposition 19 will help cut off funding to the cartels.
Generate billions in revenue to fund what matters
California faces historic deficits, which, if state government doesn’t balance the budget, could lead to higher taxes and fees for the public, and more cuts to vital services. Meanwhile, there is $14 billion in marijuana transactions every year in California, but we see none of the revenue that would come from taxing it.
Proposition 19 enables state and local governments to tax marijuana, so we can preserve vital services.
The State’s tax collector, the Board of Equalization, says taxing marijuana would generate $1.4 billion in annual revenue, which could fund jobs, healthcare, public safety, parks, roads, transportation, and more.
Let's reform California's marijuana laws
Outlawing marijuana hasn’t stopped 100 million Americans from trying it. But we can control it, make it harder for kids to get, weaken the cartels, focus police resources on violent crime, and generate billions in revenue and savings.
We need a common sense approach to control marijuana.

myths
For comparison's sake, that ratio for alcohol is generally between 4:1 and 10:1. Alcohol overdoses claim approximately 5,000 casualties yearly, but marijuana overdoses kill no one as far as any official reports.
Brain Damage
Marijuana is psychoactive because it stimulates certain brain receptors, but it does not produce toxins that kill them (like alcohol), and it does not wear them out as other drugs may. There is no evidence that marijuana use causes brain damage. Studies performed on actual human populations will confirm these results, even for chronic marijuana users (up to 18 joints per day) after many years of use.
In fact, following the publication of two 1977 JAMA studies, the American Medical Association (AMA) officially announced its support for the decriminalization of marijuana.
In reality, marijuana has the effect of slightly increasing alpha-wave activity in your brain. Alpha waves are generally associated with meditative and relaxed states, which are, in turn, often associated with human creativity.
Memory
Marijuana does impair short-term memory, but only during intoxication. Although the authoritative studies on marijuana use seem to agree that there is no residual impairment following intoxication, persistent impairment of short-term memory has been noted in chronic marijuana smokers, up to 6 and 12 weeks following abstinence.
What other myths have been going around about smoking a doobie ?
more marijuana myths Heart Problems
It is accepted in medical circles today that marijuana use causes no evident long-term cardiovascular problems for normal persons. Marijuana smoking, however, does cause changes in the heart and body's circulation characteristic of stress, which may complicate preexisting cardiovascular problems like hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, and coronary atherosclerosis. Marijuana's effects on blood pressure are complex and inconsistent as of yet.
Hormones
Chronic marijuana use has not been found to alter
testosterone
or other sex hormone levels. In contrast, heavy alcohol use is known to lower these same testosterone levels.
Reproductive Damage
No trustworthy study has ever shown that marijuana use damages the reproductive system, or causes chromosome breakage. Studies of actual human populations have failed to demonstrate that marijuana adversely affects the reproductive system. Claims that marijuana use may impair hormone production, menstrual cycles, or fertility in females are both unproven and unfounded.
The Immune System
Studies in which lab rats were injected with extremely large quantities of THC (the active compound in marijuana) have found that marijuana (in such unrealistically huge quantities) does have an "immunosuppressive effect" in those lab rats, in that it temporarily shuts off certain cells in the liver called lymphocytes and macrophages. These macrophages are useful in fighting off bacterial, not viral, infections.
But this is only for the duration of intoxication. There also exists some evidence that marijuana metabolites remain in the lungs for up to seven months after smoking has ceased, possibly affecting the immune system of the lungs (but not by turning the cells off).
This said, doctors and researchers are still not sure that the immune system is actually negatively affected in realistic situations since there are no numbers to support the idea. In fact, three studies showed that THC might have actually stimulated the immune system in the people studied.
Cancer
Smoking marijuana has the potential to cause both bronchitis and cancer of the lungs, throat, and neck, but this is generally no different than inhaling any other burnt carbon-containing matter since they all increase the number of lesions (and therefore possible infections) in your airways.
Thu Sep 02, 2010 6:24 pm
gateway effect
Marijuana use has not been found to act as a gateway drug to the use of harder drugs. Studies show that when the Dutch partially legalized marijuana in the 70's, heroin and cocaine use substantially declined, despite a slight increase in marijuana use.
If the stepping stone theory were true, use should have gone up rather than down. In reality, it appears that marijuana use tends to substitute for the use of relatively more dangerous hard drugs like cocaine and heroin, rather than lead to their use.
Thus, oftentimes strict marijuana laws themselves are the most significant factor involved in moving on to harder drugs like cocaine. Such is the case in Nevada and Arizona, the states toughest on marijuana use.
the potential benefits Because smoked marijuana contains a variety of combustion compounds, it can damage the lungs and possibly the immune system. Several health committees recommended the development of an inhalation device that delivers pure THC -- the active ingredient in marijuana -- to the lungs. Anyone who is against marijuana simply for the smoke needs to research Vaporizers.... look up a good one like the Extreme Vaporizer what it does it it blows heated air over the marijuana and vaporizes the THC and CBD so that is all you are inhaling.... there is no combustion and no smoke.... it is a MUCH healthier way of medicating and it extracts more thc than smoking so your bag goes a lot further!
There is some evidence -- but no scientifically valid studies -- that marijuana is useful in treating some forms of epilepsy and spasticity caused by multiple sclerosis.
Some studies show that smoked marijuana is effective for some patients in relieving nausea caused by cancer and chemotherapy.
There is evidence that marijuana may improve the appetite and help patients gain weight. This could be lifesaving for AIDS patients who develop wasting , a severe weight-loss condition.
Smoking marijuana is effective in lowering pressure inside the eyeballs of some patients with glaucoma. A word of caution, however: the drug also drops blood pressure, and this could compromise blood flow to the optic nerve and damage vision.

myths
For comparison's sake, that ratio for alcohol is generally between 4:1 and 10:1. Alcohol overdoses claim approximately 5,000 casualties yearly, but marijuana overdoses kill no one as far as any official reports.
Brain Damage
Marijuana is psychoactive because it stimulates certain brain receptors, but it does not produce toxins that kill them (like alcohol), and it does not wear them out as other drugs may. There is no evidence that marijuana use causes brain damage. Studies performed on actual human populations will confirm these results, even for chronic marijuana users (up to 18 joints per day) after many years of use.
In fact, following the publication of two 1977 JAMA studies, the American Medical Association (AMA) officially announced its support for the decriminalization of marijuana.
In reality, marijuana has the effect of slightly increasing alpha-wave activity in your brain. Alpha waves are generally associated with meditative and relaxed states, which are, in turn, often associated with human creativity.
Memory
Marijuana does impair short-term memory, but only during intoxication. Although the authoritative studies on marijuana use seem to agree that there is no residual impairment following intoxication, persistent impairment of short-term memory has been noted in chronic marijuana smokers, up to 6 and 12 weeks following abstinence.
What other myths have been going around about smoking a doobie ?
more marijuana myths Heart Problems
It is accepted in medical circles today that marijuana use causes no evident long-term cardiovascular problems for normal persons. Marijuana smoking, however, does cause changes in the heart and body's circulation characteristic of stress, which may complicate preexisting cardiovascular problems like hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, and coronary atherosclerosis. Marijuana's effects on blood pressure are complex and inconsistent as of yet.
Hormones
Chronic marijuana use has not been found to alter
testosterone
or other sex hormone levels. In contrast, heavy alcohol use is known to lower these same testosterone levels.
Reproductive Damage
No trustworthy study has ever shown that marijuana use damages the reproductive system, or causes chromosome breakage. Studies of actual human populations have failed to demonstrate that marijuana adversely affects the reproductive system. Claims that marijuana use may impair hormone production, menstrual cycles, or fertility in females are both unproven and unfounded.
The Immune System
Studies in which lab rats were injected with extremely large quantities of THC (the active compound in marijuana) have found that marijuana (in such unrealistically huge quantities) does have an "immunosuppressive effect" in those lab rats, in that it temporarily shuts off certain cells in the liver called lymphocytes and macrophages. These macrophages are useful in fighting off bacterial, not viral, infections.
But this is only for the duration of intoxication. There also exists some evidence that marijuana metabolites remain in the lungs for up to seven months after smoking has ceased, possibly affecting the immune system of the lungs (but not by turning the cells off).
This said, doctors and researchers are still not sure that the immune system is actually negatively affected in realistic situations since there are no numbers to support the idea. In fact, three studies showed that THC might have actually stimulated the immune system in the people studied.
Cancer
Smoking marijuana has the potential to cause both bronchitis and cancer of the lungs, throat, and neck, but this is generally no different than inhaling any other burnt carbon-containing matter since they all increase the number of lesions (and therefore possible infections) in your airways.
Thu Sep 02, 2010 2:44 pm
gateway effect
Marijuana use has not been found to act as a gateway drug to the use of harder drugs. Studies show that when the Dutch partially legalized marijuana in the 70's, heroin and cocaine use substantially declined, despite a slight increase in marijuana use.
If the stepping stone theory were true, use should have gone up rather than down. In reality, it appears that marijuana use tends to substitute for the use of relatively more dangerous hard drugs like cocaine and heroin, rather than lead to their use.
Thus, oftentimes strict marijuana laws themselves are the most significant factor involved in moving on to harder drugs like cocaine. Such is the case in Nevada and Arizona, the states toughest on marijuana use.
the potential benefits Because smoked marijuana contains a variety of combustion compounds, it can damage the lungs and possibly the immune system. Several health committees recommended the development of an inhalation device that delivers pure THC -- the active ingredient in marijuana -- to the lungs. Anyone who is against marijuana simply for the smoke needs to research Vaporizers.... look up a good one like the Extreme Vaporizer what it does it it blows heated air over the marijuana and vaporizes the THC and CBD so that is all you are inhaling.... there is no combustion and no smoke.... it is a MUCH healthier way of medicating and it extracts more thc than smoking so your bag goes a lot further!
There is some evidence -- but no scientifically valid studies -- that marijuana is useful in treating some forms of epilepsy and spasticity caused by multiple sclerosis.
Some studies show that smoked marijuana is effective for some patients in relieving nausea caused by cancer and chemotherapy.
There is evidence that marijuana may improve the appetite and help patients gain weight. This could be lifesaving for AIDS patients who develop wasting , a severe weight-loss condition.
Smoking marijuana is effective in lowering pressure inside the eyeballs of some patients with glaucoma. A word of caution, however: the drug also drops blood pressure, and this could compromise blood flow to the optic nerve and damage vision.

Legalize
Individuals deserve the right to decide whether or not they should use marijuana. The government should not tell individuals what to do as long as they do not harm others.
COST: keeping marijuana illegal is expensive.
The second important reason that marijuana should be legal is that it would save our government lots of money. In the United States, all levels of government (federal, state, and local authorities) participate in the "War on Drugs." We currently spend billions of dollars every year to chase peaceful people who happen to like to get high. These people get locked up in prison and the taxpayers have to foot the bill. We have to pay for food, housing, health care, attorney fees, court costs, and other expenses to lock these people up. This is extremely expensive! We could save billions of dollars every year as a nation if we stop wasting money locking people up for having marijuana. In addition, if marijuana were legal, the government would be able to collect taxes on it, and would have a lot more money to pay for effective drug education programs and other important causes.
We would have more money to spend on important problems if marijuana were legal.
Failure: prohibition doesn't help. The third major reason that marijuana should be legal is because prohibition does not help the country in any way, and causes a lot of problems. There is no good evidence that prohibition decreases drug use, and there are several theories that suggest prohibition might actually increase drug use (i.e. the "forbidden fruit" effect, and easier accessibility for youth). One unintended effect of marijuana prohibition is that marijuana is very popular in American high schools. Why? Because it is available. You don't have to be 21 to buy marijuana -- marijuana dealers usually don't care how old you are as long as you have money. It is actually easier for many high school students to obtain marijuana than it is for them to obtain alcohol, because alcohol is legal and therefore regulated to keep it away from kids. If our goal is to reduce drug consumption, then we should focus on open and honest programs to educate youth, regulation to keep drugs away from kids, and treatment programs for people with drug problems. But the current prohibition scheme does not allow such reasonable approaches to marijuana; instead we are stuck with 'DARE' police officers spreading lies about drugs in schools, and policies that result in jail time rather than treatment for people with drug problems.

For comparison's sake, that ratio for alcohol is generally between 4:1 and 10:1. Alcohol overdoses claim approximately 5,000 casualties yearly, but marijuana overdoses kill no one as far as any official reports.
Brain Damage
Marijuana is psychoactive because it stimulates certain brain receptors, but it does not produce toxins that kill them (like alcohol), and it does not wear them out as other drugs may. There is no evidence that marijuana use causes brain damage. Studies performed on actual human populations will confirm these results, even for chronic marijuana users (up to 18 joints per day) after many years of use.
In fact, following the publication of two 1977 JAMA studies, the American Medical Association (AMA) officially announced its support for the decriminalization of marijuana.
In reality, marijuana has the effect of slightly increasing alpha-wave activity in your brain. Alpha waves are generally associated with meditative and relaxed states, which are, in turn, often associated with human creativity.
Memory
Marijuana does impair short-term memory, but only during intoxication. Although the authoritative studies on marijuana use seem to agree that there is no residual impairment following intoxication, persistent impairment of short-term memory has been noted in chronic marijuana smokers, up to 6 and 12 weeks following abstinence.
What other myths have been going around about smoking a doobie ?
more marijuana myths Heart Problems
It is accepted in medical circles today that marijuana use causes no evident long-term cardiovascular problems for normal persons. Marijuana smoking, however, does cause changes in the heart and body's circulation characteristic of stress, which may complicate preexisting cardiovascular problems like hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, and coronary atherosclerosis. Marijuana's effects on blood pressure are complex and inconsistent as of yet.
Hormones
Chronic marijuana use has not been found to alter
testosterone
or other sex hormone levels. In contrast, heavy alcohol use is known to lower these same testosterone levels.
Reproductive Damage
No trustworthy study has ever shown that marijuana use damages the reproductive system, or causes chromosome breakage. Studies of actual human populations have failed to demonstrate that marijuana adversely affects the reproductive system. Claims that marijuana use may impair hormone production, menstrual cycles, or fertility in females are both unproven and unfounded.
The Immune System
Studies in which lab rats were injected with extremely large quantities of THC (the active compound in marijuana) have found that marijuana (in such unrealistically huge quantities) does have an "immunosuppressive effect" in those lab rats, in that it temporarily shuts off certain cells in the liver called lymphocytes and macrophages. These macrophages are useful in fighting off bacterial, not viral, infections.
But this is only for the duration of intoxication. There also exists some evidence that marijuana metabolites remain in the lungs for up to seven months after smoking has ceased, possibly affecting the immune system of the lungs (but not by turning the cells off).
This said, doctors and researchers are still not sure that the immune system is actually negatively affected in realistic situations since there are no numbers to support the idea. In fact, three studies showed that THC might have actually stimulated the immune system in the people studied.
Cancer
Smoking marijuana has the potential to cause both bronchitis and cancer of the lungs, throat, and neck, but this is generally no different than inhaling any other burnt carbon-containing matter since they all increase the number of lesions (and therefore possible infections) in your airways.

Gateway effect
Marijuana use has not been found to act as a gateway drug to the use of harder drugs. Studies show that when the Dutch partially legalized marijuana in the 70's, heroin and cocaine use substantially declined, despite a slight increase in marijuana use.
If the stepping stone theory were true, use should have gone up rather than down. In reality, it appears that marijuana use tends to substitute for the use of relatively more dangerous hard drugs like cocaine and heroin, rather than lead to their use.
Thus, oftentimes strict marijuana laws themselves are the most significant factor involved in moving on to harder drugs like cocaine. Such is the case in Nevada and Arizona, the states toughest on marijuana use.
the potential benefits Because smoked marijuana contains a variety of combustion compounds, it can damage the lungs and possibly the immune system. Several health committees recommended the development of an inhalation device that delivers pure THC -- the active ingredient in marijuana -- to the lungs. Anyone who is against marijuana simply for the smoke needs to research Vaporizers.... look up a good one like the Extreme Vaporizer what it does it it blows heated air over the marijuana and vaporizes the THC and CBD so that is all you are inhaling.... there is no combustion and no smoke.... it is a MUCH healthier way of medicating and it extracts more thc than smoking so your bag goes a lot further!
There is some evidence -- but no scientifically valid studies -- that marijuana is useful in treating some forms of epilepsy and spasticity caused by multiple sclerosis.
Some studies show that smoked marijuana is effective for some patients in relieving nausea caused by cancer and chemotherapy.
There is evidence that marijuana may improve the appetite and help patients gain weight. This could be lifesaving for AIDS patients who develop wasting , a severe weight-loss condition.
Smoking marijuana is effective in lowering pressure inside the eyeballs of some patients with glaucoma. A word of caution, however: the drug also drops blood pressure, and this could compromise blood flow to the optic nerve and damage vision.

Legalize
Individuals deserve the right to decide whether or not they should use marijuana. The government should not tell individuals what to do as long as they do not harm others.
COST: keeping marijuana illegal is expensive.
The second important reason that marijuana should be legal is that it would save our government lots of money. In the United States, all levels of government (federal, state, and local authorities) participate in the "War on Drugs." We currently spend billions of dollars every year to chase peaceful people who happen to like to get high. These people get locked up in prison and the taxpayers have to foot the bill. We have to pay for food, housing, health care, attorney fees, court costs, and other expenses to lock these people up. This is extremely expensive! We could save billions of dollars every year as a nation if we stop wasting money locking people up for having marijuana. In addition, if marijuana were legal, the government would be able to collect taxes on it, and would have a lot more money to pay for effective drug education programs and other important causes.
We would have more money to spend on important problems if marijuana were legal.
Failure: prohibition doesn't help. The third major reason that marijuana should be legal is because prohibition does not help the country in any way, and causes a lot of problems. There is no good evidence that prohibition decreases drug use, and there are several theories that suggest prohibition might actually increase drug use (i.e. the "forbidden fruit" effect, and easier accessibility for youth). One unintended effect of marijuana prohibition is that marijuana is very popular in American high schools. Why? Because it is available. You don't have to be 21 to buy marijuana -- marijuana dealers usually don't care how old you are as long as you have money. It is actually easier for many high school students to obtain marijuana than it is for them to obtain alcohol, because alcohol is legal and therefore regulated to keep it away from kids. If our goal is to reduce drug consumption, then we should focus on open and honest programs to educate youth, regulation to keep drugs away from kids, and treatment programs for people with drug problems. But the current prohibition scheme does not allow such reasonable approaches to marijuana; instead we are stuck with 'DARE' police officers spreading lies about drugs in schools, and policies that result in jail time rather than treatment for people with drug problems. We tried prohibition with alcohol, and that failed miserably. We should be able to learn our lesson and stop repeating the same mistake.
Prohibition does not work. Education and treatment are better ways to address the drug problem.
There are plenty of other reasons why marijuana should be legal. Just to name a few: Medicinal use: Marijuana can be used as medicine because it helps to stimulate apetite and relieve nausea in cancer and AIDS patients.
Hemp: The hemp plant is a valuable natural resource. Legalizing marijuana would eliminate the confusion surrounding hemp and allow us to take advantage of hemp's agricultural and industrial uses.
:Religious use: Some religions instruct their followers to use marijuana. Just like Christianity and Judaism instruct their followers to drink wine on certain occasions, some Hindus, Buddhists, Rastafarians, and members of other religions use marijuana as part of their spiritual and religious ceremonies. These people deserve the freedom to practice their religion as they see fit. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says that the government cannot 'prohibit the free exercise' of religion, and so marijuana should be legal.

Decriminalize!
It should be no secret that in its unregulated state, pot is often easier for a minor to access than liquor or cigarettes ” themselves the most deadly of gateway drugs.
Why grant cannabis tax-free status when we could better control its use by regulating and taxing it as we do alcohol, which is more impairing than marijuana, and tobacco, which is far more addictive?
Does it make sense that we're cutting law enforcement and other critical services to afford to incarcerate nonviolent drug offenders, when we could be putting more cops on the beat from marijuana's tax revenue and saving overcrowded prisons for truly dangerous convicts?
Keeping cannabis illegal also represents government intrusion on the business sector at its worst, because it deprives us of marijuana's harmless cousin, hemp.
Hemp is a drought-resistant crop which could provide jobs and offer local sources of clothing, paper, biofuel, canvas, rope and nutritious seeds.
George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew hemp. Ben Franklin owned a mill that made hemp paper. The Declaration of Independence and Constitution were drafted on hemp paper. Old Glory was made from cannabis fibers.
Today, we import hundreds of thousands of dollars of hemp products from Canada. In a fiscal crisis especially, Advertisement Quantcast criminalizing this lucrative crop out of an outdated "prohibition" mindset makes no kind of sense!
USA De-criminalize Marijuana!!!

Get over it! to each their own!
Flower Tucci is on MHT to support legalization, she is a patient & an activist.
Just because she's a porn star doesn't mean she represents everyone in porn and neither do any of the women who's stories you keep spamming her page with.
I don't see Flower promoting anything about porn here on MHT? GET A LIFE!! Worry about yourself and how your living, stop consuming yourself with how others choose to live!
This a stoner site not a site for you to debate porn.
Take your BS else where, nobody cares about what you post.
You are wasting your time!

My first movie I was treated very rough by 3 guys. They pounded on me, gagged me with their penises, and tossed me around like I was a ball! I was sore, hurting and could barely walk.

My insides burned and hurt so badly. I could barely pee and to try to have a bowel movement was out of the question. I was hurting so bad from the physical abuse from these 3 male porn stars!

"People in the porn industry are numb to real life and are like zombies walking around. The abuse that goes on in this industry is completely ridiculous. The way these young ladies are treated is totally sick and brainwashing. I left due to the trauma I experienced even though I was there only a short time."
- Jessie Jewels
"I had bodily fluids all over my face that had to stay on my face for ten minutes. The abuse and degradation was rough. I sweated and was in deep pain. On top of the horrifying experience, my whole body ached, and I was irritable the whole day. The director didn't really care how I feltt; he only wanted to finish the video."
- Genevieve
"They told me if had my AIDS test that I'd be safe. I arrived on the set with my test and did a hardcore scene with two men. Within that week I was very sick with a fever of 104 and blisters all over my mouth, throat and private area. I looked like a monster. The doctor told me I had the non-curable disease Genital Herpes. I wanted to die."

"I found out 2 days later that I had caught gonorrhea in my first scene! As quick as that the glamour of being a porn star was gone. In the five years I was shooting I caught Gonorrhea and Chlamydia many times. Sometimes both at the same time about every 3-5 months."
- Nadia Styles
"As for myself, I ended up paying the price from working in the porn industry. In 2006, not even 9 months in, I caught a moderate form of dysplasia of the cervix(which is a form of HPV, a sexually transmitted disease) and later that day, I also found out I was pregnant. I had only 1 choice which was to abort the baby during my first month. It was extremely painful emotionally and physically. When it was all over, I cried my eyes out."

"My first scene was one of the worst experiences of my life. It was very scary. It was a very rough scene. My agent didn't let me know ahead of time... I did it and I was crying and they didn't stop. It was really violent. He was hitting me. It hurt. It scared me more than anything. They wouldn't stop. They just kept rolling.Drugs are huge. They're using viagra. It's unnatural. The girls will be on xanax and vicodin."

"I didn’t want to feel the pain of penetration from an over average sized man, being told to freeze in a position until the camera man was happy with his shots was very painful. I had peoples body fluids forced on my face or anywhere else the producer pleased and I had to accept it or else no pay.

- Tamra Toryn
"My first scene was one of the worst experiences of my life. It was very scary. It was a very rough scene. My agent didn't let me know ahead of time... I did it and I was crying and they didn't stop. It was really violent. He was hitting me. It hurt. It scared me more than anything. They wouldn't stop. They just kept rolling.Drugs are huge. They're using viagra. It's unnatural. The girls will be on xanax and vicodin."

STOP STEREOTYPING!
MANY OF THE WOMEN WHO GAVE THEIR HORROR STORIES OF THE INDUSTRY ARE LESS THAN 5%, MANY OF THEM SHOULDN'T EVEN BE CONSIDERED AS "PORN STARS" SHOOTING A FEW SCENES DOESN'T MAKE YOU A PORN STAR.
THE ADULT INDUSTRY IS A BUSINESS, JUST LIKE MANY ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS'S THERE ARE RISKS, TEMPTATIONS, AND PEOPLE WHO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OTHERS.
MANY OF THOSE WOMEN LISTED BELOW ALREADY HAD DRUG PROBLEMS TO BEGIN WITH AND MANY OTHER DEEP SEEDED PERSONAL ISSUES BEFORE THEY ENTERED THE ADULT INDUSTRY.
IT IS GOOD THAT THEY CHOOSE TO LEAVE THE INDUSTRY BECAUSE THEY WERE OBVIOUSLY NOT MEANT FOR IT.
AS FOR DARREN JAMES, HE CONTRACTED HIV IN BRAZIL PERFORMING WITH A BRAZILIAN PERFORMER WHO CONTRACTED HIV FROM A TRANS-SEXUAL, RETURNING TO THE STATES HE CONTINUED TO WORK, LEADING TO THE OUTBREAK THAT INFECTED 4 INDIVIDUALS.
SINCE THE TERRIBLE OUTBREAK IN 2004 PERFORMERS ARE REQUIRED TO WAIT 30 DAYS, RETEST TWICE WHEN THEY RETURN FROM SHOOTING OUT OF THE COUNTRY TO PREVENT ANY FUTURE SITUATIONS LIKE WHAT HAPPENED IN 2004.
BEFORE YOU POINT YOUR FINGER AT THE INDUSTRY WHO TESTS REGULARLY AND HAVE A SYSTEM A.I.M. PUT IN PLACE TO PROTECT PERFORMERS AND THEIR HEALTH, WHY DON'T YOU POST THE NUMBERS OF THE CIVILIAN POPULATION WHO CONTRACT HIV AND OTHER STD'S?
BOTTOM LINE WE LIVE IN AMERICA WHERE WE HAVE THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND CHOICE.
YOU ARE ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION AND TO LIVE YOUR LIFE AS YOU PLEASE, SO RESPECT THAT FLOWER TUCCI HAS A RIGHT TO LIVE HER LIFE THE WAY SHE CHOOSES.
EVERYONE HAS A STORY, LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT. YOU CAN MAKE IT GOOD OR YOU CAN MAKE IT BAD.
NO ONE FORCED THOSE WOMEN TO DO ANYTHING. THEY CASHED THEIR CHECKS, THEY POPPED THE PILLS, NO ONE TWISTED THEIR ARMS, THEY SIGNED THE DISCLAIMER STATING THAT THEY WERE NOT ON DRUGS OR ALCOHOL OR THAT THEY WERE NOT FORCED TO DO ANYTHING THEY DID NOT WANT TO.
PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR CHOICES AND ACTIONS.
IT IS EASY TO BLAME EVERYONE ELSE. IT IS EASY AS AN OUTSIDER WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE "PORN BIZ" TO SIT BACK, JUDGE AND PULL A FEW HORROR STORIES FROM SOME JADED PORN STARS WHO WERE DISAPPOINTED THAT PORN WASN'T AS "GLAMOROUS AS THEY THOUGHT IT WOULD BE....

- Lara Roxx, diagnosed with HIV in April, 2004 along with four other porn stars
"I hung out with a lot of people in the Adult industry, everybody from contract girls to gonzo actresses. Everybody has the same problems. Everybody is on drugs. It's an empty lifestyle trying to fill up a void."
- Becca Brat
"I didn’t want to feel the pain of penetration from an over average sized man, being told to freeze in a position until the camera man was happy with his shots was very painful. I had peoples body fluids forced on my face or anywhere else the producer pleased and I had to accept it or else no pay. Sometimes you would get to a gig and the producer would change what the scene was supposed to be to something more intense and again if you didn’t like it, too bad, you did it or no pay."
- Elizabeth Rollings
"I did over 100 xxx hardcore movies where I was slapped, hit, choked and forced to to sex scenes I never agreed to.
As I did more and more scenes I abused prescription pills which were given to me anytime I wanted by several Doctors in the San Fernando Valley. I was given Vicodin, Xanax, Norcos, Prozac and Zoloft."
- Michelle Avanti
My first movie I was treated very rough by 3 guys. They pounded on me, gagged me with their penises, and tossed me around like I was a ball! I was sore, hurting and could barely walk. My insides burned and hurt so badly. I could barely pee and to try to have a bowel movement was out of the question. I was hurting so bad from the physical abuse from these 3 male porn stars!
- Alexa Milano
"People in the porn industry are numb to real life and are like zombies walking around. The abuse that goes on in this industry is completely ridiculous. The way these young ladies are treated is totally sick and brainwashing. I left due to the trauma I experienced even though I was there only a short time."
- Jessie Jewels
"I had bodily fluids all over my face that had to stay on my face for ten minutes. The abuse and degradation was rough. I sweated and was in deep pain. On top of the horrifying experience, my whole body ached, and I was irritable the whole day. The director didn't really care how I feltt; he only wanted to finish the video."
- Genevieve
"They told me if had my AIDS test that I'd be safe. I arrived on the set with my test and did a hardcore scene with two men. Within that week I was very sick with a fever of 104 and blisters all over my mouth, throat and private area. I looked like a monster. The doctor told me I had the non-curable disease Genital Herpes. I wanted to die."
- Roxy aka Shelley Lubben
"The truth is I let my lifestyle get the best of me. I hate life. I'm a mess. A disaster. I've attempted suicide many times."
No one cares about a dead porn star or stripper."
- Neesa
"Guys punching you in the face. You have semen from many guys all over your face, in your eyes. You get ripped. Your insides can come out of you. It's never ending."
- Jersey Jaxin
"I found out 2 days later that I had caught gonorrhea in my first scene! As quick as that the glamour of being a porn star was gone. In the five years I was shooting I caught Gonorrhea and Chlamydia many times. Sometimes both at the same time about every 3-5 months."
- Nadia Styles
"As for myself, I ended up paying the price from working in the porn industry. In 2006, not even 9 months in, I caught a moderate form of dysplasia of the cervix(which is a form of HPV, a sexually transmitted disease) and later that day, I also found out I was pregnant. I had only 1 choice which was to abort the baby during my first month. It was extremely painful emotionally and physically. When it was all over, I cried my eyes out."

"My first scene was one of the worst experiences of my life. It was very scary. It was a very rough scene. My agent didn't let me know ahead of time... I did it and I was crying and they didn't stop. It was really violent. He was hitting me. It hurt. It scared me more than anything. They wouldn't stop. They just kept rolling.Drugs are huge. They're using viagra. It's unnatural.

Just wanted to tell you that I think you look stunning in your new pics. I'm glad to see that you have your spot back!!!!! You are such a beautiful girl and you seem like a great person. Hope things are going well for you and they stay that way! It's so easy for people to hate and be jealous when they come across a cute, confident and happy person who is content with their life. They wish that's what they had, but they won't let themselves be satisfied because they can't see the big picture. Anyways, just thought I would share my feelings with you and drop some DIMES! Stay high and keep it real, girl. Peace and love always xoxoxo

Maryjanes © is for beautiful & unique ladies that smoke beautiful & sticky buds! To come together like sisters or a "sorority". Sharing pictures of different strains of bud, bongs, pipes, blunts&joints, anything related to marijuana. We promote the legalization of cannabis & it's usage, and the educated women who stand behind it. Stand up for something you strongly believe in! Marijuana is not a drug, but God's gift to the world.
Stoners can have class too. We are smart, successful, educated women who relax and unwind with our good friend MaryJane after a long hard day of work. We believe our wacky-tobaccy spliff is the equivalent of a glass of wine, only without all the extra calories or the hangover. Whether you are a stiletto stoner, briefcase bong-hitter, or a sympathetic abstainer, it is time to bring this entire conversation out of the shadows. We want to create a fresh breeze for those who live under the taboo of being a stoner.
Herb, Photography, Art, Fashion, Culture, Beauty.. all in one site.
How does one become a Maryjane model? First and foremost, you must be 18+! If you are an activist and want to promote the legalization of marijuana, please join our community forum (http://www.themaryjanemodels.com/community), create a stoney nickname, & post all of your 420 pictures!~ Photo's will not be edited if: Too small, fuzzy, or already edited. Please send in big & clear photography.

Sorry if you feel slighted or left out, but how am I supposed to comment you back if you don't leave a linked comment?
I do not have time for negative people, I choose to ignore the anonymous negative posts & live my high life.
Thank you to all the stoney ladies here on MHT who send their buds & love : )
What goes around, comes around. I will always be sure to return the favor.
I must say I have been busy enjoying my summer and have been away from this site & many others.
I just uploaded some new pics & I'm awaiting approval, for those of us who have been members here on MHT for the past few years know that sometimes it can take any where from 24hrs for approval to a few weeks, so no worries.
Sit back, pack a fat bowl, vape, roll a blunt or a few joints & puff, puff pass! peace onelove xo

Its crazy the way life connects our paths, I feel so close with many of you ladies and yet I haven't met any in person! Just goes to show how wonderful and accepting you ladies here are! Regardless of the anonymous hateful posts, there are by far more positive vibes and love being spread!! Just like Robert H. Schuller said:
“It takes but one positive thought when given a chance to survive and thrive to overpower an entire army of negative thoughts.”
sending you much *LOVE* and *SUPPORT*!!

Marijuana comes from the land,
yeah straight from mother natures hand.
It starts in the ground as a little seed,
but before long its a tree of weed.
For maryjane there is many a use,
but if you smoke it they call it drug abuse.
Industrial, medical, and recreation,
weed should be legal in every nation!!!

all 10's to get you high!!!
Peace and Love
PS. anonymous haters think they're smart people, but they are only cowardly people. they hide themselves behind their stupid and nasty comments, because they can not hide the facts which are proving that Flower Tucci is much better than them.
I agree with "NO COMMENT",
HATERS = LOSERS ... ALWAYS!!!
