Sadly, my Neighbor’s Son OD’d on Marijuana

He was just a kid. 23 years old, and a senior in high school. He was always a favorite in our family, and everyone loved him. He was a football player, an active member in our church and community, and always dunked his cookies into a cool glass of milk when he came over.

Well, one evening, during his fifth senior year, he was going to a religious/political victory party. Apparently some liberal parents next door had gone out of town (Las Vegas to consume alcohol, various drugs, gambling, unprotected sex orgies and to watch R rated movies on cable). They left their child unattended (why am I not surprised by the irresponsible parents) so he decided to throw a party. Well, when my next door neighbor’s son along with the other members walked past, the other kids were drinking, and smoking, and behaving in a non-conformist way.

Well, the marijuana cigarette smoke wafted out of the house and across the sidewalk. Almost immediately they went into convulsions and dropped like flies onto the hard, cold, “Lib” sidewalk. They were not found until the crack of dawn the next morning.

I've often wondered why in an economy of supply and demand, we have waged war on the supply but done very little on the demand.

I've seen more damage done by video games and fast food in schools than pot has ever done. That's sad. :(

Although not much has been mentioned about this, Gov. Bill Richardson, to his everlasting credit, is paving the way for New Mexico to produce and distribute medical marijuana to the thousands of suffering patients there. The only snag is, the Feds want to go in and bust the ill people, and drag elderly cancer victims off to jail, for using the medicine their doctors can legally prescribe.

Stop wasting money on fighting domestic pot growers!Spend that money on fighting meth, ecstasy, cocaine, heroin and perscription pain killers. Only block the illegal importing of pot. Stop drug companies that push addictive drugs like oxycontin and xanax.

Close corner stores that only sell booze, sugar, and salt. Stop the sale of wine coolers and malt beverages that contain more than 5% alcohol. Stop television beer advertising before 10pm. Stop all advertising of all addictive products that poison our nation. Stop the advertising of Sugar and High Fructose Corn Syrup products during childrens programing.

Tax the medical pot stores, but let citizens grow and smoke their own pot responsibly in their own homes(personal use only, no sales).

Support Natural beer, ale, and wines made to taste good, and not just intoxicate you beyond reason.

Support the legal and responsible use of American grown organic marijuana as an altervative to the white powders and blue pills that destroy our society.

When they legalize I'll advertise.­.!

Kidding really just kidding..

Everyone needs to understand and not accept the hype: The War on Drugs was never meant to be won. It is one of those "let's keep the population under control by being in war" thingies that government love to use and that George Orwell satirized in 1984. The War on Drugs got going when the old Soviet bugaboo was being exposed as a complete fraud. Maybe they will shut down the War on Drugs now that they have the War on Terror to terrorize us about...

LEGALIIIIZE IT....does­n't that have a nice ring to it.....LEG­ALIIIIIIZE IT..


{exhale}..­....Ok, the fact is if drugs are legalized many sections of the economy will crumble, like urban clothing lines, some automobile showrooms, fast food restaurants, high end electronic stores, music sales, jewelry stores and real estate. When these sectors suffer decline in sales then other incidentals like taxes, layoffs and wages are affected as a consequent.
So if we really are serious about a war on drugs we have to put in place resources to combat the fallout.


Anyway "GANJA" on the other hand is the only true and LEGAL drug that was found on the grave of King Solomon...­so LEGALIIIIIIZE IT.....

The War On Drugs could be WON,if a new and larger attack is made on it.This attack of course would be patterned on the fiendishly clever and well thought out Bush/Pentagon military stratedgy known as the "Iraq Surge"!

Yeah that will work, wake up you fool, they can't even keep people out... The reality is they grow it all over this country, EVERYWHERE!

Sustainability scares the crap out of people, keep cutting down trees and popping your pills.

The War on Drugs is a joke. You most certainly don't need to throw people in jail as a form of "tough love". Either abolish all drugs or legalize them all, end of story.

And prostitution should be next. Why it's okay to pay two people to have sex and distribute it but make it illegal when only one person is being paid is beyond me.

Personal choice is just that, personal and a choice.

Well, actually you could do something about drugs, but it would probably require really securing the US/Mexico border, a move that this administration has really dragged their feet about, and since the drug biz is a multi-billion dollar industry for Mexico, chances are they aren't going to be doing much of anything to disrupt their revenue either.

The drugs DO come to El Norte across the border, but who will stop it? Who, indeed...

War on drugs, what a waste of time and money.
Legalize them and tax them and we could pay off the deficit.
Anyone can get anything they want anytime they please, Wake up!

how about education on the use of drugs? I've never taken illigal drugs and have no intention to, but teaching users the proper way to use them would make for a better consciencious citizen.

Tax it all.

Use the hemp for cellulosic ethanol.

use the seeds for oil and the fiber for clothes.

Tax the stuff with THC. You have just created two - three additional markets and products. All taxable, upon sale.

In the land of the free and the home of the brave it's a federal crime to possess pot. What a lot of bullshit.

The war on drugs has been brought to you by the tobacco, alcohol and pharmceutical industries. These are the groups that sponsor the so called 'partnership for a drug free america'. I guess as long as you're buying their drugs and not growing your own it's OK with them.
