If it was legal, the government would have one less reason to put people in prison. And think of all the FBI agents who would lose their jobs. Also,who would people SNITCH on. Another way for the government to control us. We will all be in concentration camps sooner or later. Check out the number of prisons being built. Be afraid. Be very afraid. We are in a POLICE STATE. The US government is the largest terroist organization in the world. Can't mind our own business. Got to rule the world.Does the name HITLER come to mind?... 38637@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 04 Jul 2008 00:17:56 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5843.html#38617 Wars do NOTHING but cause the "enemy" to become entrenched. The "War on Drugs" has evolved into a war on civil liberties and the legalization and regulation of marijuana would be a giant and healing step in the right direction.... 38617@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:28:13 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5843.html#38569 drug testing in the work place.urine testing for marijuana is totally absurd.you could sit a home and get high and then in a couple days get tested at work, way after the effects have worn off and test positive. that is total BS.where did our rights go?... 38569@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 01 Jul 2008 18:53:23 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5843.html#38551 i have an old injury (a pitch fork through the knee) yeah it hurts and though its not legal sometimes pot helps over codine, steriods, highly potent antibiotics, and other pills i have been given. i told my doctor that sometimes it helps when i do "smoke up". but it does help the twiching at the nights when your trying to fall asleep. and i see no problem doing it as long as you take care of your body and do it with the state of mind to help yourself. and or stabilize yourself against pain. however as a recreational drug i say its better than alcohol when your already taking so many drugs that harm your liver and body.... 38551@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 01 Jul 2008 02:02:42 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5843.html#38470 My state will let me take morphine and oxyconone during they day for a disabling pain I have. They let me drive that way. The comination of the 2 drugs could stop my heart at any time. With the money they spend on incarcerated marijuana users they could probably send any kid that wants to go to college but can't afford it... 38470@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sun, 29 Jun 2008 02:17:27 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5843.html#38274 "Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction." - Bob Marley... 38274@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 26 Jun 2008 09:54:40 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5843.html#38033 It is ridiculous to have laws penelazing people for marijuana use and yet we still continue to condone and allow alcohol consumption. Marijuana causes no deaths, no harm to anyone and is already the nation's #1 cash crop. Let's legalize it, tax it and pay off our debts before it's too late.... 38033@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 23 Jun 2008 11:58:22 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5843.html#37983 LEGALIZE - SAVE LIVES!!

Hemp could replace many planet-hating industries, cheaply and well! Think of the savings on prisons with all the nonviolent potheads out earing their own living! It's a win/win situation!... 37475@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 16 Jun 2008 00:02:21 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5843.html#37438 O btw all of you people that are against this bill. I just want to let you know who else is against this bill. THE REAL CRIMINALS, the big time drug dealers. why you might ask? Its like car companies hoping gas prices stay high so that their investments in hybrid cars arent for waste. Drug dealers want to keep the multi-billion dollar buisness to themselves. So to them and to us, this is a step towards legalization. for them its a bad buisness move, for you a way to save your consience. Im sorry but I'm against big time drug dealers. If i can get my weed down the street at a walgreens why would I give my money to a criminal. So if this bill doesnt pass it. i guess ill tell u thank you. not from me. but from ur not-so friendly neighborhood drug dealer... 37438@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sun, 15 Jun 2008 15:51:10 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5843.html#37437 Finally, I want to say that this bill is not to legalize but to say that the federal government on a national level should not spend taxpayer money on sending people who smoke to jail. 7 billion dollars a year is spent on arresting, processing, and sentencing minor marijuana offenses. People throw a fit about us going out to "save" Iraq and wasting billions of dollars there. Well how about the 48 million US taxpaying citizens who are paying the taxes for people to come arrest them for smoking some weed at home and not hurting nobody. Sounds kinda dumb to me that everyone can go and say we waste money there and not say we're not wasting money here... 37437@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sun, 15 Jun 2008 15:44:17 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5843.html#37434 As to comments about encouraging it by legalizing it, That is a very DUMB argument. Are you encouraged by our government to smoke cigarettes because its legal? are you encouraged by our government to drink alcohol because its legal? NO. So how would you say that because weed is now legal all of a sudden the government is encouraging us to smoke. Completely dumbfounded. Also I set to prove the opposite and its as easy as this.. how many times do you see a surgeon general's warning on a dime bag? So.. by legalizing it and actually putting warnings on like we do on cigarettes I think the government would be doing more in trying to "discourage" than to throw people in prison... 37434@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sun, 15 Jun 2008 15:39:33 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5843.html#37433 It is not for the government to say what i can or cannot do with my body. Agreed that there are many posting that its not necessary just as alcohol and cigarettes are not necessary. But to say that by allowing and "condoning" it, it encourages people to do it? well im sure one can say that despite it being legal or not most that are posting now are just smoking regardless.... 37433@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sun, 15 Jun 2008 15:39:13 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5843.html#36848 it's about time. i can't think of a single person that i know that would be against this bill. the notion that this substance would be illegal and alcohol and cigarettes would not seems insane to me. anyone who has experienced all three first hand could tell you that it's completely bizarre that marijuana could ever be considered dangerous or illicit. i believe that it should be regulated the same as booze or cigs. It's far less dangerous than either one, but it should not be any more readily available to young people than it already is. At least if it were regulated there would be quality control measures in place, where there are currently none in the US. Other countries have known for years that it's silly to fight a war on a benign substance. There are far better things our country could be spending it's tax payer's money on instead of continuing to fuel an outdated lie.... 36848@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 11 Jun 2008 05:06:40 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5843.html#36657 This is a long overdue action, which will benefit the entire nation. It requires the support of everyone who wants to see it happen. We must all take action and urge our representatives to vote yes. No change will come about if nobody speaks up.... 36657@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 09 Jun 2008 15:26:02 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5843.html#36318 So many of our problems would be solved. We would have more police on the street look for REAL criminals and more space in jail for them. We could fully research the medical potetial of this plant and hopefully get people off the chemicals thet are killing them as they are "healed". This can only help our nation!!... 36318@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 04 Jun 2008 11:35:57 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5843.html#36315 Progress http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/5225.html... 36315@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 04 Jun 2008 11:15:03 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5843.html#35976 Hempseed oil=premium diesal fuel. It's better for your eyes than carrots. We can make super partical board and house everyone. We can make clothes from it and start exporting really strong clothes cheaper than cotton. Plastics, paint, linen, hay 18'tall, we can reclaim the old dead cotton fields because it's deep roots till the soil when you pull it up. Our DNA is shaped like the rope we make from it! It protects the brain from Alzheimer's disease and FIGHTS cancer.

I just don't think it should be illegal-- that is criminal, to purchase, possess, or use pot. I don't want the sheriff's deputy to be my enemy-- I want to be able to call him by name when I see him and consider him a friend. I don't think smoking pot is as bad for society as shoplifting or reckless driving. I don't think my kids should risk going to "real" jail for smoking pot. I have heard the arguments my whole life. I am not an ex-hippie. I am a member of the "just say no" generation, and I am in favor of HR5843(110th C.).... 35963@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 30 May 2008 05:49:21 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5843.html#35855 wouldnt it make a little sense to allow a person to grow it for personal use? kinda seems it would slow biz with gangbangers/smugglers... 35855@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 28 May 2008 13:48:53 EDT
