WE SHOULD START WITH LEGALIZING HEMP. THERE IS NO REASON THAT HEMP SHOULD BE ILLEGAL NO THC. NO REASON TO USE IT TO GET HIGH. THOUSANDS OF USES FROM FOOD TO FIBER TO OIL AND FUEL AND SO MANY UNKNOWN BENEFITS BECAUSE IT HAS NOT BEEN LOOKED AT IN THIS COUNTRY FOR SO MANY YEARS. FARMERS WOULD MAKE WAY MORE THAN THE 778 MILLION SHOWN ON THE TAX CHART.

Not sure I agree with smokin' it...but I don't agree with Government's perceived right to control it. You would think that they would legalize it so that they can do what they do best: tax the shit out of it. Anyway...this page came across my desk and I thought that ya'll might want to have a look :)

Wish I could get some pot right now- this tobacco will end up killing me...I smoke 10-15 cigarettes a day compared with just one gram of pot per day. Government want our taxes, and want to kill off people with tobacco, and want to lower the population so they don't have to pay out benefits money...Sickos lead the World

At least California has the right idea about the use of marijuana- it is looking very likely that pot will be legalized for recreational and medicinal use in California because it can be regulated, make money for the State and prevent money going to dealers.... Alcohol users and tobacco smokers have a legal right to use their 'vice' in designated areas, and so should marijuana smokers.

In defense of pot, it is not as addictive as alcohol or cigarettes. Marijuana should be used in moderation -(a pinch in a peace pipe is a moderate amount).
It might not be right for everyone, but then again neither are alcohol or tobacco. Government know that tobacco and alcohol sales would drop if marijuana became too popular, as many people would realize that a little bit of pot is better for relaxing, as opposed to alcohol which just makes people 'lose it'. Nicotine is far more addictive and 10 to 40 cigarettes are smoked per person per day, which is far more harmful to the lungs than a little pinch of pot. Government knows this, and simply crush the marijuana debate and support alcohol and tobacco sales just to keep raking in billions of alcohol and tobacco taxes...

Dr. Robert Melamede Ph.D. and Cannabis Science Inc. Respond To An ABC News
Report That Chose Controversial Twists Instead Of The Stated Facts From Proposed
Cannabinoid Treatment For Swine Flu And Ignore Dr. Melamedes` Repeated
Statements Against Flu Patients Smoking
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.--(Business Wire)--
Cannabis Science, Inc. (OTCBB: CBIS) an emerging pharmaceutical cannabis company
and its President & CEO, Dr. Robert Melamede Ph.D., the former Chairman (ret) of
the Biology Department at the University of Colorado (Colorado Springs.) is
responding to an article on the ABCNews.com website. Please click
http://abcnews.go.com/Health/SwineFluNews/story?id=8214468&page=1 to read the
article in full. The article portrays the company`s proposed use of cannabinoids
in the treatment of Swine Flu as hoping "to one day make marijuana available
nationwide to kids and teens -- as well as adults -- in the form of a medicinal
throat lozenge."

Cannabis Science would like to Thank ABC News for giving us the opportunity to
clear up common misunderstanding to the controversial issues surrounding medical
marijuana as demonstrated in the their article. The article includes an
interview with a "pulmonary specialist" who is not associated with Cannabis
Science Inc. He is troubled by `giving out THC like water`, which is an action
that Cannabis Science has never suggested or endorsed.

It goes on to quote the "pulmonary specialist" as saying, "I don't think many
parents would want their kids 'on drugs' for a mild, flu-like illness." The
Cannabis Science influenza formulation has never been suggested to treat `mild
flu like illness` in adults or children. It will be tested specifically to gain
FDA approval for treating lethal conditions associated with any deadly influenza
infections resulting in virally induced hyper inflammation.

The article concludes with a quote from the same doctor who says, "No doctor in
his right mind would tell a flu patient to go smoke a joint." Cannabis Science
agrees completely. Publicly in its news releases, Cannabis Science has
repeatedly warned all medical marijuana consumers to not smoke cannabis when
they have an influenza infection and that in fact it could be deadly.

Cannabis Science Inc., President & CEO, Dr. Robert Melamede Ph.D., responded by
saying, "Some of the comments in this article are simply inaccurate. As an
example, the article`s emphasis on making `marijuana available nationwide to
kids and teens` implies our primary focus is `kids and teens` and leaving adults
as secondary. This is not true. In fact, we have never mentioned, `kids and
teens` in any of our public news release statements. We left this out
intentionally because we believe this is a decision to be made by the FDA and
subsequently upon approval of our drugs, by licensed physicians. In fact, what I
told ABC News in my interview was that; our medical establishment routinely
gives dangerous addictive narcotics to our children. If the use of medical
marijuana would save the life of my child, I would have no qualms about using
medical marijuana."

Additionally, Dr. Melamede notes, "psychoactive cannabinoids are in human
mother's milk. If God thinks it's all right to use cannabinoids in an infant's
first food, who am I to disagree? We believe one of our formulations will
prevent many deaths caused by H1N1 Swine Flu and H5N1 Avian Flu. If our
formulation becomes an FDA approved drug and works in adults, we believe that
all parents and their physicians should have the right to choose the best
treatment for a child with a potentially deadly illness. Public health officials
have warned that H1N1 may be comparable to the 1918 Influenza Pandemic that
killed tens of millions globally and hit young people especially hard. We are
optimistic that the FDA has not and will not be distracted by non-science-based
hysteria and will treat cannabis-based medicines based on documented science as
evidenced by its advancement of other cannabis-based medicines going through the
FDA approval process now."
