Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1132432[link to edition.cnn.com] Former U.S. Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders told CNN Sunday she supports legalizing marijuana. The trend-setting state of California is voting next month on a ballot initiative to legalize pot, also known as Proposition 19. The measure would legalize recreational use in the state, though federal officials have said they would continue to enforce drug laws in California if the initiative is approved. "What I think is horrible about all of this, is that we criminalize young people. And we use so many of our excellent resources ... for things that aren't really causing any problems," said Elders. "It's not a toxic substance." Next it's total legal gay marriage....then animal sex and marriage....etc. etc..... You apparently are not that bright to post such non-sense. Don't feel singled out though,... Sadly,...there are many ignorant and uneducated persons in the World today. Z Free your mind,...your ass will follow. --- parliament funkadelic |

The truth is in the not so distant future, you may need to use cannabis as an anti-biotic. [link to www.technologyreview.com] Certain types of cancer, here's a video of THC effects on brain cancer. [link to www.youtube.com] There are more studies here suggesting the same, along with many other ailments it could help with. You don't need to get high from it to experience the befits. The seeds from the plant are one of the most nutritious foods on the planet and have no THC in them.

All it means it more tax revenue and less money spent on keeping pot users in jail. Something California really needs. Better the money goes to the state, than lining some Mexican drug lord's pocket.

"Automated Polls Show Consistent Support For California’s Prop. 19 Posted by Paul Armentano on @ 12:06 pmArticle printed from speakeasy: [link to blogs.alternet.org] to article: [link to blogs.alternet.org] Likely voters voice majority support for Proposition 19 by a margin of 56 percent to 41 percent when presented with an automated questionnaire, according to an internal poll conducted by EMC Research on October 13-14. The same poll, which sampled views of 1,403 respondents, reported less support when voters were asked to state their opinion to live interviewers. The contrast in voters’ responses on automated surveys versus live calls likely explains the discrepancies in recent poll results. For example, the most recent Survey USA automated poll, release on October 18, shows Prop. 19 leading 48 percent to 44 percent — a margin that is consistent with previous automated polls. The result conflicts the results of a PPIC live poll released one day previously that shows Prop. 19 trailing in voters’ opinion. New York Times analyst Nate Silver previously wrote on this trend, dubbing it the “Reverse Bradley Effect,” which postulates that voters overall — and certain blocks of voters in particular — are uncomfortable telling strangers how they would vote on controversial policies."
