  I agree. I think that it's high time that we look seriously at incarcerating (in Guantanomo if possible) anyone who invades a tiny country on false pretenses.

  Do you remember the conservative Republican leader of perhaps a generation ago, William Buckley?  I really like him although I am not in his party, nor in the other one.
  
  What I like so much about Buckley is that he says things that oppose his own peers.  He has long been an advocate of legalizing marijuana for all.  Not a very conservative Republican position.
  
  It's obvious that he tried it, he liked it, and he saw no reason to outlaw it.  I like that he thinks for himself and has the courage of his convictions, regardless of how his peers will react to him.
  
  I used to smoke a lot of it.   But that was a long time ago.  Haven't had drugs in decades.  But I really enjoyed it for years, until it turned on me and stopped being fun.
  
  I support just flat out legalizing marijuana, making it as legal as beer and cigarettes, subject to age restrictions.  I see no reason to have it illegal.  Can't think of one good reason.  Disagree with anyone who can.

  Im a recovering cocain and heroin addict. Prior to my addiction I smoked weed for 20 years and was a succesfull buisiness owner ,owned my own home and life was good.I had an accident and was hurt badly. I lost everything and said screw it and jumped into hard core addiction. I quit these hard drugs partially due to my going back to smoking weed. It calmed me down and it helped block my pain better than the opiates I was prescribed . Im now in college to become an addictions councelor and im having a tough time because im still biased on the pot issue. In my classes were taught about all the drugs and how they are all equally bad. I just dont agree. Hard drugs including the legal alcohol cause more destruction than pot ever will. If a pot head doesnt have weed he says that sux ..oh well. If an addict or alcoholic doesnt have thier prefered drug they will do almost anything to get it. I have seen countless times people do horrible things for drugs. I have seen people sell themselves, resort to stealing ,turning to robbery and theft,and Ive once saw a parent sell the unwraped christmas toys of thier children just for a few more hits. How many times have you gone to a bar and had some drunk asshole try and pick a fight. If a guy smokes a joint hes more likely to stay home ,eat some snacks and laugh at everything on tv whether its funny or not. Whats so wrong with that. I know for a fact the benefits of weed. Cancer patients use it to keep up thier appetite while on chemo and some not all panic attack victems say that a joint makes it easier to interact with people and high stress situations. I know for a fact that it helps for pain. I was hit by a car doing 40 mph and was prescribed hard core opiate pain killers and none helped me more than a fat joint.

  I totally agree that there are better things to worry about than who's got a doob.
