I don't use marijuana, but we need to legalize it across the board.

Virgil have you seen the film American Drug War?

americandrugwar.com/

It's a really good film. You can watch it on youtube in it's entirety: www.youtube.com/watch

The guy who made American Drug War (Kevin Booth) has another film coming out. It's called How Weed Won The West.

By the way...Alex Jones (infowars.com) was in American Drug War (extras on the DVD) & consulted on the film.  It looks like he will have a main role in How Weed Won The West. Alex Jones & Kevin Booth are good friends. Hey I even own an American Drug War T-Shirt....gotta support Kevin Booth. He is a great guy & Mr. Booth is doing an excellent job exposing the phony war on drugs. www.sacredcowstore.com/

From the creators of American Drug War the long awaited sequel -How Weed Won the West-

With California and the rest of the country going bankrupt, one business is booming. How Weed Won the West is the story of the growing Medical Marijuana industry, focusing on Los Angeles with over 700 legal dispensaries doling out the buds. Following the story of Organica, a southland dispensary which was raided by state and federal agencies in August of 2009, the film shows that although much has changed with Obama in office, the drug war is nowhere near over. Kevin Booth, producer/director of American Drug War, picks up where the last film left off and continues his fight against the hypocrisy of the War on Drugs. Intended to inform and entertain, this fast paced and even sometimes funny film features Texas conspiracy guru Alex Jones, Ethan Nadelmann head of Drug Policy Alliance, and a host of amazing characters including a former LAPD narcotics officer who now thinks all drugs should be legal.

Starring Alex Jones, Ethan Nadlemann, Craig X Rubin, Doug Stanhope, Jeff Joseph, Theresa Blaylock, Don Duncan, Bill Kroger, and more..

I hope the governments don't jump on the tax the hell out of it bandwagon.  If the prices stay where they are it will keep those that need it going to legitimate sources.  Over price it and they will deal with the street vendors and keep the Mexican cartels in business.  I'm obviously not an expert but the thought of hurting the thugs south of the border make me happy.

Kids that like MJ are smoking now, all they want.  Well trained security at out schools can and does "weed" out those that are abusing or will abuse just like they do for consuming alcohol.  

virgil, if you had any experience out in the real world regarding marijuana and it's effects, both on the individual and on society, as oppossed to learning what you know from youtube and surfing the internet, you might be taken even a little bit seriously. But you aren't.

Checkmate gives us some facts? (sourced)

As  opposed to all your copy and pastes info?

Work in the world of mood and mind altering chemicals and addctions and get back to us.

A new contributor with no profile and "credibility" is questioned?

Thanks for the tip, Mate.

So, you think Marijuana should be made illegal again ?

You're out numbered, you know.

--virgil

Yes I copy and paste information. That is the whole point. I am here to disseminate the truth. Instead of using the usual attack lines against me, you should get off your high horse & wake the hell up. Actually read & watch all of the info I post. You seriously need a wake up call Nancy.

 Anglo,

"If the prices stay where they are it will keep those that need it going to legitimate sources.  Over price it and they will deal with the street vendors and keep the Mexican cartels in business.  I'm obviously not an expert but the thought of hurting the thugs south of the border make me happy."

Legalized marijuana will take the place of the illicit marijuana trade.

It's so easy to grow, most people who use the stuff will grow it themselves. In a year, the amount of surplus marijuana on the market will the drive the price down.

 In five years, the use of marijuana will be normal.

--virgil

what do you mean illegal again, it is always been illegal unless i heard wrong.

Prop. 215, about ten years, legalized marijuana for medicinal uses. It was called the compassionate use act of 1996 and was passed by a large majority of the California electorate.

--virgil

  Anglo,

Marijuana users don't need dispensaries ( charging $400 an once ) regulated by the County and watched by the DA like flies on honey.

They need to be left alone.

--virgil

Work in the world of mood and mind altering chemicals and addctions and get back to us.

Nancy we are talking about weed not hardcore dope. (Legal & illegal) Some of the legal crap pushed by big pharma is downright horrible.

Why is marijuana a schedule one drug?

Why can someone go to vons and purchase a gallon of Whiskey & crash their car? I mean you could smoke ten joints & the worst thing you might do is eat a case of Doritos. Most folks after smoking a lot of weed are to damned lazy to drive anywhere.

Oh I didn't know that Virgil.

  See,  what happens when you put your mind into something ?!

Let me know if I can help you with understanding anything else.

--virgil

That's why you don't here about people crashing there car from smoking weed because weed gets you too lazy and most people just don't fell like even getting up to go to the bathroom. But it can also make you possibly gain weight because some people get the munchies, and don't even know when to stop eating. I know i did when i used to smoke it a long time ago.

That's nice ...

--virgil

Virgil, you know you don't have to be a smarta$$ about it.

Actually,

Animalluvr, I'm not trying to be an ass,  but I can't help myself if I'm  feeling like the other blogger is doing the same. I misinterpreted your posts.

I'm sorry, for offending you !

apologies for misunderstanding you.

--virgil

virgil, even though you never answer a question that is asked of you, please try and answer this simple question after reading this very brief scenerio. (A simple YES or NO will do...).

I have no medical reasons to smoke marijuana to relieve "pain". My doctor says I am in good health. I take no medications for any medical conditions. I live in California. Can I legally have 5 grams of marijuana in my pocket as I walk down the street?

YES or NO?

And if you delete this, or don't answer this simple question, you will be showing your true colors.

info, if they aren't  driving, how do they get home from parties, bars and friends houses?  How are they getting DUI's?  Do you think the only time they smoke pot is at home?

 Mate,

"Can I legally have 5 grams of marijuana in my pocket as I walk down the street?"

The law says with a physician's recommendation and you're legal

--virgil

Answer the question virgil.  There was no medical recommendation or reason for one.  Checkmate was very clear on that.  Don't make up your own scenario...just answer the questions.

My money is on...you won't do it.

By the way,

"And if you delete this, or don't answer this simple question, you will be showing your true colors."

I ain't no deleter of sombody else's posts. That's just not me.

--virgil

Exactly virgil. My doctor didn't give me a recommendation, so I am breaking the law.

Right?

So when you say marijuana is legal in California, you are only speaking part of the truth.

But you have always done that.

"Answer the question virgil. "

I thought I did, Nancy .

With a doctor's note and you are the possessor of said document, then said possessor is legal to have marijuana in the State of California.

--virgil

Animal lover, you don't really believe that do you?  If they've been at a party smoking pot how likely are they to call a friend and say.."hey, I'm loaded, come and get me."    It' s more like "all it is is a little pot, it's not like it's alcohol or anything."

Well, okay ,

" So when you say marijuana is legal in California, you are only speaking part of the truth"

But marijuana is still legal in California.

--virgil

That wasn't the question and you know it virgil.  You're showing yourself.  You refuse to answer a point blank question.  Why is that?

Just ONCE I'd like to see you be totally honest.

tonyh, of course the correct answer is NO! And virgil will never admit it!!!!!

virgil is playing a game here .....and enjoying the attention.

Mate,

By your own reasoning, it's a half-No,  and you know  it !

--virgil

Why won't virgil answer a direct question Nancy? Because he lives in a fantasy world.

Sorry Nancy I thought you were just implying it to anyone, i didn't know you were implying the question to blogger infowar. But anyway I've heard of it all of the time, about friends who pick up other friends from partying that are high and the driver isn't.

Mate,

It's still a half-no.

And,  you wanna make Marijuana illegal again. 

 But I doubt you can tell me why.

--virgil

Marijuana is ILLEGAL IN CALIFORNIA period. That's why one of my friends went to jail for a small sack of it a few months ago.

virgil, read H&S 11357b. It's illegal. As it has been for a very LONG time.

True Tony, and they get a DUI just like ones under the infulence of alcohol do. 

animal..my first response was to info then I addressed you on the second.  I don't make guesses about things like that, it comes from the horses mouths.

Recreational marijuana use has never been legal and virgil knows it.  He's playing with you.

I'm done with this topic thanks, nothing new here.

" As it has been for a very LONG time"

But since the compassionate use act of 1996, marijuana has been legal in the state of California.  And, it's about time the Federal Govt. respected that.

I'm happy about it. Too bad you guys are not. I see less violence and less people in jail for an once of kind bud.

No one should go to jail for marijiuana.

--virgil

Ok Nancy i get your point! I'm done here to with this point less topic as well.

animal, you've completely lost me.  I have no idea what you're talking about.  What is it you want me to say?

" He's playing with you."

Nancy, you give me too much credit.

--virgil

I misread Nancy sorry! I thought you meant something else.

I'll make one more comment related to pot then I'm really done.  Animal...see what I mean about virgil?  He will never tell the truth on this topic.  He completely ignore the "recreational" part and will never admit the only thing it was legal in CA for was medicinal purposes.

This is SUCH a broken record on this blog.

I agree with you Nancy, sorry for the miscommunication, I'm done here too. really!

Nancy, virgil thinks smoking MJ for fun is like playing soccer. Hope he teaches his daughters better.

" ... never admit the only thing it was legal in CA for was medicinal purposes."

Nancy,

I did at 9:27 .

--virgil

  "Hope he teaches his daughters better."

Don't be thinking about my daughters. It is not your prerogative.

Think about your own, if you want to think about somebody's children.
