So its ok for a state like Texas to put a kid in jail for 40 years merely for possesion of a joint while a drunk driver killing a pedestrian gets 5?
Or the fact there are more people in prison than in college largely as a result of drug busts. Or the fundamental hypocricy of the drug laws which came about directly because a dude named Anslinger hated black ...[text shortened]... o they continue to allow tobacco to be sold, killing near half a million people in the US alone?

Of course I agree with the usefulness, also evidence THC can combat cancer. The hypocricy even clouds the useful effects of weed.

Governments should subsidize marijuana and make it free.
Why?
No one then can make effective business out of it when its free. So now nobody wants to produce MJ, and the Gov monopolizes.
What next?
Use MJ as a motivation to push the addicts to build a better country.
Win-Win 🙂
Originally posted by invigorateIt doesn't CAUSE schizophrenia. That is a myth. In people who are susceptable to developing schizophrenia, using cannabis can accelerate the process. I.E. instead of being a full-blown schizo at 28, you can smoke weed and become one at 21. You have to already be developing schizophrenia for weed to accelerate it. Eventually, once we figure out genomes some more (i.e. in 100 years time), schizophrenia can be diagnozed at birth.
It can lead to schizophrenia:

What is funny, however, is when schizophrenic people get stoned.

I say we cut your funding, kick your ar$e, release the animals and get some real men in.
Long live the computer age!
In the next 10 to 20 years, you will visit an electronic engineer for your cure and not a doctor.
Once we have cracked the sequence of magnetic coagulation, it is all going to change.
Imagine all the existing medical services and allied industries being out of work overnight?
I cant wait for my teeth to get fixed electronically!!!
