alternet.org — According to federal statistics, about 94 million Americans -- that's 40 percent of the U.S. population age 12 or older -- self-identify as having used cannabis at some point in their lives, and relatively few acknowledge having suffered significant deleterious health effects due to their use.

Happy to live in holland. It's a herb you should treat with respect, and use moderately. If you ban cannabis, you should ban alcohol, coffee, sugar and a lot of chemical medicines too.

Yes but in the US and Canada we prefer to ban things based on lies and propaganda. It's really quite an interesting way of doing things when you get used to it.

Drug laws have never worked! They failed with alcohol, they failed with cocaine, they failed with heroin, legalize them all and put the pushers out of business, put the government out of business and treat it as the medical and pyschological problem that it really is. This war in Afghanistan is over heroin not terrorism folks in case you missed that bit of news on Fox. History has a sordid past of trying to prohibit what we injest. I personally have a drug problem, I am an addict and alcohol, and pot were my drugs of choice and I had no trouble getting them but plenty did. I am drug free now and recovering for 32 years now with AA and I have the problem and do you think the government or the police give a s**t about my drug problem? Only the drug addict can seek help for himself or herself. Let's put the rich out of business and quit paying them off. The drug inforcement issue is so absurd that illegal drug money is currently floating the stock market and if it was made legal the stock market would crash so why do you think the government wants it illegal, duh! Do the research and come to you own conclusion don't take my word for it.
