		<description>I am not a smoker, but I did have family and friends who are wonderful , hard working, good people, who are or was, in jail for years or paying huge fines because of them smoking or helping thier friends get it.I see families torn apart because of the people want a little release from the strain of life. I have seen many people smoke and never get violant,maybe eat a little more than usual. Then when they drink alcohole,they go crazy, and hurt other people  and alcohole is legal. Also all the votes to legalize it , many people do not see the advertisement to vote , so how can we get the real numbers.

		<description>I have a comment, first off, maybe being
able to smoke marijuana, is not the best thing, to repair the bad economy,it&#039;s about having personal,freedom&#039;s, that we can enjoy something that GOD, put on this earth that we live on.to maybe do us some good, this maybe not be for every one,
but the one&#039;s that want it, should be able to get it, without retributation!
Obama, please do not be a hipocrite,let the
people be free, as the are suppopsed to be in the USA,andhave a say so, even if two people don&#039;t blike it.thank&#039;s and have a nice day.

		<description>marijuana should be legal its basically legal in Canada and parts of europe it should be decriminalized all over the u.s. if not legalized in my opinion. it could also help the economy and also lead to scientific studies, many colleges cant legally study marijuana or thc. but some studies of concentrated thc have concluded that brain cell growth can occur in humans.

		<description>I can&#039;t figure out why conservatives go nuts at the mention of MJ legalization when their hero&#039;s William F. Buckley, Jr. and Milton Friedman advocated legalization. I think it&#039;s a mistake to say the legal drug industry is the primary in fighting legalization, they have no authority, it&#039;s the Police, Judges, and government that love prohibition. Bill Clinton was well on his way to getting a prohibition of tobacco. Follow the money. You guy&#039;s did a good job of listing the benefactors of prohibition, you left out the terrorists, police unions,and illegal&#039;s. As Buckley said, MJ prohibition is a Plague on out society.

		<description>I am a certified substance abuse counselor with 30 years experience in my field, 17 years of which I spent in DUI countermeasures.  During the past 20 years I was also a volunteer E.M.T.
I know all too well the devastating consequences suffered by individuals and society due to the abuse of certain drugs, especially alcohol.  And I fully support the legalization of marijuana for personal adult use.
