Marijuana is the most powerful drug known in the fight against alzheimers. Do you want to talk people into staying sick? Sure it is. Getting high every day would keep everyone from getting alzheimers. It'll even reverse existing alzheimers - why if Ronald Reagan had smoked weed every day he'd be alive and well today. Sure. And my disbelief is hurting people too. Yep. I'm jsust a hata. It fights cancer. I figured I was maybe a little off base throwing in the cures cancer thing, but you proved me wrong. I know you think everyone should get high every day because marijuana is the greatest medical elixir ever discovered, but I think its 90%+ a crock. There are probably a few legit medical uses for it, but only a few. There is a little community newspaper which lists crimes in my area. I've read it recently to see how many people are being persecuted for marijuana possession. There were plenty of arrests but exactly three for mj possession. Two were a pair of guys who decided to shoplift in a local mall with weed in their pocket. The got arrested for theft and possession. Seems to me if they'd just left their weed at home when they decided to go shoplifting they wouldn't have been arrested for possession. (Now of course if weed had been legal these guys would never have committed a crime - dopers only commit crimes b/o of hte drug war - right? Bull!) The other marijuana arrest was a young woman who lost her purse in a sporting goods store with weed and an illegal knife of some sort in it. She claimed the purse with a cop present and didn't want to disown the weed and weaspon and lose it - no, the genius decided to grab the purse and with her girlfriend fight their way out of the store. Both were arrested - and one of them got a possession charge in addition to a few other charges. Geniuses these marijuana users.
