He lays it out way better than I can.

I don't recommend anyone use drugs or alchohol or tobacco- but I 100% feel we, as Americans, should have the freedom to choose what we do with our bodies and minds (they are ours, aren't they? ). As long as the individual isn't hurting someone else in any way, what is the problem? Who am I to say because I don't like something that no one else should have the right to do it? I guess that's my point. There are a lot of things I don't personally like or agree with, but I would never want that alone to remove someone else's right to do it if that's what they wanted to do. I hope that made sense

Liberty and freedom- what does that mean?

The Cole video (the whole thing ) is, well, shocking. I've yet to see any one but you comment on it- any one else watch it?

Sincerely, Clayton

I watched most of the clip and it is VERY eye opening. I am only a little surprised that there are so many on this board that are against the legalization of it. There is a lot of ignorance and denial still in society. Hopefully people will educate themselves more and become more tolerant of others rights. I agree with you 100% Clayton.

And Wazoo- you are a very smart young man. NO way should marijuana be used by adolescents. No where have I ever heard that be an acceptable practice. Just like alcohol or tobacco shouldn't be either...( I can't stand tobacco but understand it's somewhat of a relaxer for smokers, but yuck )....

One last thing too- I appreciate the discussion that has been in this thread and the fact no one has completely flipped out. Anyone on the board knows that these discussions are very rare and will remain that way, especially on the front page.

In MIchigan there is NO age limit on medical marijuana and a 7-year has the script along with severa other minors. Then you learn its their parents who buy medical grade, have it lad tested for certain components. is then cooked and administered in exact doses for seizures and similar disorders. Never is a big word Leon...these parents seem far more responsible to me than standard and I support them completely.

And yes, there is a TON of ignorance on this subject and people are afraid to educate themselves. What does freedom mean?

My mistake, Steven. You are absolutely correct. Adolescents should be able to use marijuana, probably in the form of THC pills, BUT only for medicinal use and when prescribed by a doctor. It can definitely have some positive effects on certain ailments. I misspoke.
