Me too, wh**ever will make us stronger as a sovereign free nation.

If Henry Ford built a car 10 times stronger than steel.
I wonder, is there possibilities of constructing aircraft using the same principles?
If solely hemp, would it be able to fly under the radar, how would you detect it from any other natural type debris? Large quantities, could it be less expensive?

Hopefully, we won't wait for the N. Koreans and Iranians to pave the way, to show us.
The Love of money, Greed is the greatest plague facing us.

plainlogic, I'm writing 'food for thought' so don't take me for a smart-aleck.

If Marijuana was legalized, I'd not worry about my friends and neighbors becoming aberrant in their ways. I'd trust them, as I do now, to act responsibly.

We can't legislate morality and we don't need fear to motivate our decisions.

Just think of the endless possibilities: less toxins in our soil and water; is it possible to replace our fiberglass vehicles with hemp fabric that's 10X's stronger than steel; having paper without excessive chemicals while saving our forest; build houses that are stronger and less costly; etc.

Medically, if smoking would alleviate my physical pains ( I have a rare illness), I'd probably try it occasionally. I wouldn't chance driving afterwards. If it helps cancer patients, I'd approve it.

In my opinion, it's cost prohibitive to spend $35,000 annually on drug arrest to house, clothed, feed with free medical care when they could be home acting productively. Law Enforcement need to divert their attention to mollify the predators (burglars; arsonist; rapist; robbers; murderers; etc.) to the full extent of the law. Also, those that falsely accuse another should be held with the same contempt and penalty for the crime of accusation. Give the predators their due diligence.
I like to eliminate the middle man gangsters from their profits.
We should fear the predators more than an individual sitting around his house getting high or someone walking around his neighborhood with a stash in his pocket.

I believe the benefits of legalizing Marijuana outweigh our fears! What do you think?

Personally, my greatest grievance against prohibiting Marijuana is government's encroachment on our liberties and freedom.
The propaganda by the Hearst Corporation was an unrelenting assault against the hard working poor farmers that were just trying to make ends meet. Farmers were a grave threat to Hearst, DuPont's empires and had to be stopped. Marijuana, from my reading, is a very sturdy plant that needs little attention (pesticides, fertilizers) after it springs to life. Farming was being industrialized, and they were making headway, competing against the lucrative giants. Money talks, the lucrative giants marched in, stomping on anyone opposing their interests via legislation.

Some of the strongest opposition stems from the Pharmaceutical industries; middle man gangsters; fuel industries and government leaders.

I think, people should act responsibly, regardless of whether they drink, smoke or run for office!

I've probably been hit harder for insisting, demanding and enforcing equal justice for everyone. The same standards applies to everyone; regardless of your social standing or political influence. Travesty of justice starts at the top with our people, judges, and most of all, our people (apathy, little favors to justify your support, etc.) and the hirelings just follow suit.

Ms Clinton previously demanded at various times, the full force of prosecuting minions face prison time, such as the poor taxi cab driver, etc. FBI assisted with the obstruction of justice allowing her attorneys to simply destroy any incriminating evidence afforded them. This is wrong!

The same legal system musters its full strength against a young man, whose only crime was to possess a naturally grown substance, Marijuana to months, years and even a lifetime sentence of incarceration... this is injustice, no matter how you paint the picture.
I've seen honest, young men that have had their careers destroyed because they admitted to smoking Marijuana without any further substantiating evidence... this is wrong!
