the real problem is ... I SEE MORE THAN YOU... i see DEEPER than you.... and so much so that you're only defense is to reply with shallow platitudes. you chose to respond to me with a irrelevant proverb, that i suppose, in your mind makes the bumble bee good and spider evil. the truth is -- that is THEIR NATURE and they CANNOT CHANGE their nature anymore than a leopard can change its spots. the honey bee and the garden spider are BOTH BEAUTIFUL CREATURES. neither "by nature" attack humans and when they do its generally not serious. as for me being a POTHEAD -- well i dont consider myself to be one but if i am, i'm not alone: veryimportantpotheads.com i'm 58 years old with 6 kids and as many grandchildren. i was diagnosed by a second generation rheumatologist with a genetic disease. the way the dr put it: "let's just hope its not named after you" i was being treated with the best of drugs - but at a cost - over $1500.00 per month of which i was responsible for $685.00 (over and above my insurance premiums) then i was being recommended another drug which would have cost an addition $300.00 per month had i been able to afford it i would have probably remained on those drugs. instead i elected to go to another dr who believed that medical marijuana would be better than all those other drugs. while my health is not perfect by any means - healthwise i am feeling the best i have in 10 years. from the longer cannon of the bible (which protestants dont accept). The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth; and he that is wise will not abhor them. Wisdom Sirach ch 38:4 say what you will but i expect that to most here you simply sound like an obstinate, close-minded, individual who ignorantly believes he has all the answers.

Palin: Pot is a 'minimal problem' By: Andy Barr dyn.politico.com June 17, 2010 07:47 AM EDT Former Alaska GOP Gov. Sarah Palin said Wednesday night that law enforcement should not focus its energy on the “minimal problem” of marijuana. Palin made the comment during an appearance on the Fox Business Network with Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas). The libertarian Paul said enforcing marijuana restrictions specifically and the war on drugs more generally is a “useless battle,” a point Palin somewhat agreed with, though she was clear that she does not support legalization. "If we're talking about pot, I'm not for the legalization of pot,” Palin said. “I think that would just encourage our young people to think that it was OK to go ahead and use it.” “However, I think we need to prioritize our law enforcement efforts,” Palin added. “If somebody's gonna smoke a joint in their house and not do anybody any harm, then perhaps there are other things our cops should be looking at to engage in and try to clean up some of the other problems we have in society.” Palin then urged law enforcement to “not concentrate on such a, relatively speaking, minimal problem we have in the country.”
