agreed. > You want to legalize marijuana - why not cocaine, heroin, and crack? All of > these are the same issue that differ only by degree. incorrect. thats where i think i have the most problem with this. you cannot call heroine and marijuana, ANYTHING close to related... they are two completely different animals. coke and crack, VERY similar, again WHOLLY unlike marijuana. you cant go out in your backyard, and pick a crack weed out of the ground and smoke it... nor can you do that with the others... but with a pot plant, you certainly could. and i think thats a MAJOR difference. and for all the bible beaters out there... there is even a passage, i believe in genesis, that mentions something to the effect of "i give you all the seed bearing plants on the earth to use...." > As for me being so hardheaded as to be a waste of time to deal with... > think about your own actions and see if you yourself are able to respect the > opinions of others, as it is the an opinion is the most basic personal > liberty.
