How many other non-fatal herbs can you think of that you need a doctor's (or anyone's) PERMISSION to use? :wtf:

Don't get me wrong...Legal MMJ is WONDERFUL! And Go For It, Missouri! :thumbsup: I'm just saying that logically, it should be on the same footing as any other medicinal herb!

Take me to any good-sized plant nursery and I can easily show you a half dozen plants that can get you high. None are as safe and/or as pleasant as cannabis. I can grow and use (if I chose to) any of these medicinal herbs, that can alter consciousness, without fear of the law...why not cannabis?

but remember granny, the key here that makes them want to prevent us from using it is the simple fact of the HUGE variety of illnesses and ailments that it's been shown to improve..the list is ever growing, and it could potentially take a lot of money from pharmaceutical companies..I'd personally like to know how much of the DEA's budget comes from big pharm..In america it's all about the allmighty dollar, not what's right, unfortunately..In my getting arrested I learned there's a lot of people that benefit from it being illegal..especially people who offer drug testing for courts..making cannabis illegal is the same as saying it's illegal for it to rain, or the sun to shine..completely asinine..
