- Alheithinn, on 02/01/2009, -7/+245Legalize it already. There are real criminals out there for you to catch when you're done with your donut breaks.
- inactive, on 02/01/2009, -3/+182Oooh, watch out, she's a dangerous criminal and a threat to society!
Seriously, what purpose does locking her up serve? Anyone? - bradysbeau, on 02/01/2009, -2/+155I just wish the laws would change. I have disk problems in my neck, rotator cuff tears, ect in my shoulders, bad knees and really painful arthritis. I could get pills and become addicted and totally non functional, get disability and live off the taxpayer. But I don't. I risk an occasional joint to function. I am self employed, I pay my taxes and my way in this world. But the law condemns me. Wake up America.
- Ardiente, on 02/01/2009, -6/+152That is ridiculous. Let the lady smoke!
- flamesoftheend, on 02/01/2009, -2/+87Alcohol is more dangerous than ganja.. Let her toke!
- JonForTheWin, on 02/01/2009, -5/+88The government is the terrorist.
- CivicTV, on 08/14/2009, -1/+64This is insanity. To even go through day to day with that many health problems has to be so incredibly stressful on an already older body. This is disgraceful the way we treat people, and our elders at that.
- mattyboy555, on 02/01/2009, -0/+45Marijuana is no more addictive then people who are addicted to chocolate, coffee, exercising, greasy foods, sex, watching TV, etc etc. It's purely a mind addictive, and not chemical addiction
You can smoke a huge joint and have zero withdraw.

- mattyboy555, on 02/01/2009, -0/+40I fail to understand how smoking cannabis in the privacy of her own home, and there is no consequences of her actions done on herself or others. It was used because it helped her paid.
Yet, random shootings/rape/child abuse/thieves offenders receive less time. - SodaGuy, on 02/01/2009, -1/+40Smoking weed is a glorious act of freedom!
"Civil disobedience becomes a sacred duty when the state has become lawless or corrupt." ... "There is only one sovereign remedy, namely, non-violent non-cooperation." -Mahatma Gandhi - Dabellah, on 02/01/2009, -0/+38Your proof is not only opinionated but false. I smoked consistently for a long time every day multiple times and just ended up dropping it like I hadn't ever touched the stuff. From personal experience (my proof) I can attest that it isn't as addictive as they say. It's all in the mind of the smoker.
Marijuana never killed anybody. It's the smoking part that gets ya... - Heapbasket, on 02/01/2009, -1/+38I believe society must start practicing civil disobedience
- slickmick, on 02/01/2009, -4/+41Government is the weed here. Kill it.
- MasterPain, on 02/01/2009, -1/+34It sounds like a lot of weed but if you are growing marijuana the police also weigh the dirt & container the plants are kept in. That way they can get bigger penalties against growers.
- Phughu, on 02/01/2009, -0/+32it increases the budget and employment of prisons, law-enforcement agencies, lawyers, politicians....
- AllButOneDay, on 02/01/2009, -0/+27Telling everybody here what THEY have to understand is an excellent way to come off as an *****. No one (even the Government) has the right to tell you how to control/regulate the contents of your mind/body.
- mebethekoko, on 02/01/2009, -0/+26$15,600 worth of that scary wackie-tabaccie.
That's about how much it costs the state of Ohio to lock up said grandma for nine months. - inactive, on 02/01/2009, -10/+35Change we can believe in?
Ron Paul 2012 - inactive, on 02/02/2009, -0/+24Yeah I had my wisdom teeth taken out around halloween last year. The doctor put me on Percocet and yeah.. I was addicted fast. There was NO better feeling than my pills. When I ran out I would make up lies saying "They still hurt". When I couldn't score any from my friends, I would look under my bed for any pills I may have dropped or "misplaced". That was ONE MONTH. After I couldn't get a refill I started to withdraw. I felt angry, jittery, weak and over all sick for about a week or two. The narcotics still stayed in my system even a month after I stopped. Sometimes I would feel high again for about 5-10 minutes, and then it passed.
After smoking weed a few months later and stopping shortly there after, I suffered no withdrawl, I never fiended or craved anything, and I could still function as a normal citizen but wasn't looking for my next "fix" like the percs had me fiending. It's ***** pathetic that our government is so corrupt at every possible level coming from the lowest (police/parking officers) to the highest (chenny/rumsfeld). Well in our quest to be the "diplomatic" and "democratic" society that we supposedly are, we're never too quick to tell other countries what they should and shouldn't do - yet when it comes down to our own ***** citizens we are arrested, prosecuted and condemned for a plant that in essence would bankrupt the pharmaceutical companies. It's absolutely horrendous how naive and blind our politicians are.
Oh and to cite something from the article which the prosecution pointed out, "We enforce the laws, we don't pick and choose which ones we will follow." Well, I hope he knows that SEGREGATION was a law for quite a while in our great and "HONEST" God fearing nation. - dty2010, on 02/02/2009, -0/+23You're really going to try and argue that there is some major difference that makes marijuana more dangerous then all the other prescription drugs?
- jwbales, on 02/01/2009, -0/+22Even for those conservatives who oppose individual rights, there are seventy five years of irrefutable evidence that outlawing marijuana was a terrible mistake.
Marijuana should be re-legalized. - KboT, on 02/01/2009, -1/+23I'd rather read a hundred of these stories than the millions that come into digg on the same Apple fanboy topic every time Steve Jobs takes a *****.
- Darkkshadow449, on 02/01/2009, -1/+21***** our government. The purpose of the government is for the good of the people, not oppression of the people. But who's fault is that? The peoples. No one if this backwards country could give a *****. The Constitution was written for a reason. Oh well. GG Founding Fathers. Sorry we the people ***** ourselves in the ass so hard.
- sbetzen, on 02/01/2009, -0/+19As doctors start speaking more about the value and utility of medical marijuana, I am guessing that these stories of the elderly and sick being arrested will become more common.
We need medical marijuana to be legal across the US to remove the sick and dieing from the battlefield of the war on drugs. We have already won public/doctors/religious support... we just need to win the political game. - bradysbeau, on 02/01/2009, -1/+19Yeah we are. Climb down from your Ivory Tower and have some compassion.
- pixeldust, on 02/01/2009, -1/+20Idiots like you make me sick with your illogical babble.
- soogy, on 02/01/2009, -1/+19There is no such thing as "too much" marijuana.
- emt1451, on 02/02/2009, -0/+17I'm *prescribed* Adderall, which is a mixture of amphetamines. It is *more* addicting, physically and psychologically, than pot. Explain that.
- davedavis, on 02/01/2009, -1/+17Booze kills pain as well! Let's make that legal! Oh wait we already did.
- dankpants, on 02/02/2009, -0/+16maybe the jury will nullify it
check out this story: http://waronyou.com/topics/maybe-this-is-how-the-w ... - letherial, on 02/01/2009, -1/+17hey, i want my tax money going to bailing out banks...o wait....
- woofer1125, on 02/01/2009, -0/+16you know if everyone just started to smoke copious amounts of marijuana, and im talking about 100 million ppl at the same time. they will arrest all of us. and just like the RIAA backing out of the legal battle with pirating music they will realize that it isn't worth the legal costs, time or effort. the worst case scenario, prisons will be over crowded with calm weed smoking individuals. and the government will make more prisons to accommodate until the whole nation is a prison. they will then learn the idiocy of this policy.
- Phughu, on 02/01/2009, -0/+16can I quote you on that?
- Smuikas, on 02/01/2009, -1/+17She probably uses it in cooking instead of smoking. In which case, you need more.
- gmiley, on 02/02/2009, -0/+16Not if she is smoking year round. She was growing them in her yard, outdoors, so she would have to have enough to last her through the winter.
- Couchy, on 02/01/2009, -0/+15Its not about being allowed to break the law. Its about showing how ridiculous the law is and needs to be changed so this type of scenario doesn't keep happening.
- eurodele, on 02/02/2009, -2/+17Why are most police officers such shameless pieces of *****?
I call them that because only a shameless piece of ***** would persecute a sick woman for pot plants while taking orders - any orders at all, as long as they come with a paycheck and maybe a little extra on the side - from the corrupt garbage who now control our government and economy.
The really funny part, if we can call it that, is that the selfasame sacks of political garbage who give the pigs their marching orders are constantly asking American citizens to give up their right to bear arms so that "our boys and girls in blue" can feel safe from getting exactly what they deserve whenever they rob a citizen of his or her Constitutional rights!
It has become fashionable in the court system to treat the life of a cop as many times more precious that that of an ordinary US citizen. If the truth be told, it's the other way around. Morally speaking, a person would be far better off panhandling for a living than putting on a police uniform. In fact, a person might even be better off robbing convenience stores.
Shape up, pigs. If you keep it up much longer, the citizens whom you victimize for a living might decide to open season on you, and nobody will be able to argue that they're doing the wrong thing in the Land of the Free. - inactive, on 02/02/2009, -0/+15"Dr Goldberg admitted that his research could not take into account the social factors that would inevitably come into play when assessing the potential for abuse of cannabis among human users."
Not only that, but where in that article does it mention physical addiction? Nowhere, that's where. - hellbent6, on 02/01/2009, -0/+15reading article after article for the past 3 years i still cant believe this plant isn't legal yet.
“Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more harm to far more people than marijuana ever could.”
William F. Buckley, Jr - rowbot, on 02/02/2009, -0/+15I would love it if you would revise that comment and make yourself look like less of a mentally incapable rodent. Better yet just quit Digg, you are an obnoxious troll no one cares for. Much thanks.
- inactive, on 02/01/2009, -0/+15What possible threat could this person cause? WTF you dumb *****!
- chops76, on 02/01/2009, -0/+14Dugg for saying "re-legalized."
- rowbot, on 02/02/2009, -0/+13okay, If they leagalize it it will no longer get you in trouble.
:) - Norlick, on 02/02/2009, -0/+13That was the funniest Digg comment I've ever read, and it wasnt even intentional.
- rowbot, on 02/02/2009, -0/+13again, sorry.
- djholybolt, on 02/01/2009, -0/+13yeah, it's not like you can overdose.
- Derrekito, on 02/02/2009, -0/+13apples and oranges. One can overdose on both Heroin and Crack, but not on Cannabis. Move along, troll somewhere else.
- psilly, on 02/01/2009, -0/+13Way ahead of you.
