[@blazerwilliams2260]

Kickin' chicken you couldn't have said it better. I was an alcoholic and an opiate addict for years and it's all because those two were so readily available and a variety of quality marijuana wasn't. I m from Florida so the bud was there but the pills get pushed so hard that I couldn't avoid them. If I could ever just make it home with marijuana once I got high I would stay home and be happy but if I didn't smoke I was out drinking and soon as I had a good buzz I was looking for pills. My point is if getting marijuana was as simple as stopping at a store and picking your favorite strain I would have never got on the alcohol or pills. Buying marijuana off the street eventually got me to stop those things but it needs to be easier to get ahold of so I don't have to get it illegally and risk getting in trouble. Also that way there's a big variety and there's edibles and cartridges. It angers me that they won't just legalize it, it's the least they can do because I can't get those ten wasted years of my life back now I'm so far behind. If they hadn't let all those pills out into the streets and just legalize marijuana it never would have happened.

Democrats have been pro weed for decades and had Supermajority with Obama whom was supposedly proweed, yet did not legalize it for absolutely no reason. Democrats have yet another Supermajority and there is once again no reason to not legalize weed. If they cannot accomplish it a second time around, do they really deserve a third?

It was a man in the 1930s that owned paper mills and forests to chop trees to make paper out of. He found that Hemp was way cheaper and a better way to make paper so he started lobbying since he was one of the richest people in the world at that time. He started lobbying and gave money to Politicians to make Hemp illegal and he told them to say it was the crazy Mexican people that do it. See Mexicans used to smoke it before war because it helped them not be as scared or have anxiety or feel the effects of injuries from war and they would chant when they were going into battle. The Government decided to say to the American people if you smoke Marijuana which is a racial Mexican word for Cannabis you will become delusional and start yelling things like the Mexican people do. Then latter after the 60s and all the hippies started promoting Cannabis, in the 70s the Government started the war on drugs. What they did was gave poor Black and Hispanic neighborhoods Cannabis to use and sell in their communities. Then the government went on to say if you smoke Marijuana you will be a poor lazy person like the Blacks, and Hispanic people that don't do anything and are in gangs and just do violent acts. They also got other drugs introduced into those communities and told people if you smoke Marijuana you will eventually do harder and worse drugs because Marijuana is a gateway to harder substances. Now we all know that is all crap, and the Government is starting to agree with that it all was lies feed to the American people. The old saying, can't teach a dog new tricks works here for the old 70, and 80 year old politicians that will never want Marijuana or the proper right name Cannabis to be legalized because they still believe it is bad and also have their pockets filled by not only the Pharmaceutical companies but even Big Tobacco because less will smoke addictive killing Cigarettes (The Weed of Death). It shouldn't be a war on drugs it should be a war on Racism. I don't think we will ever be a great nation again until our leaders and Media sources stop using Racism to get what they want. It is not as bad as it used to be but we all can do a lot better at just loving one another if they are a good person. Cannabis helps people to love, and what does the Lord Jesus want us to do more of. Love thy neighbor as thyself. Never got into a fight smoking Cannabis. I have when drinking or having a withdrawal from Cigarettes.

[@FusionDeveloper]

Part of the problem, is the government tells you it is so bad, dangerous, addictive and so on, then you try it and feel relief and realize they were unquestionably lying to you. This makes you question what else they are lying about. I suppose in a way that is beneficial, but I would rather the government just be honest, instead of making people realize they are untrustworthy liars. Keeping cannabis illegal, is a way to prove that we can't trust the government to be honest.

Legalization is a trap for regulation which leads to commercialization. If Iowa legalized marijuana we would crash the market in one season. Iowa farmland could produce so much weed it would end up practically being free. Shops would close and it would just be a mess. Decriminalize don't legalize.

The biggest problem with marijuana was that back in the early 1900s hemp was poised to take over the paper industry and a lot of other markets so some big business a-holes came up with the movie " Reefer Madness" and created a false reality about the legalization of hemp and any hemp product.
